Well, I'll admit to watching the Confederations Cup right now to point out the fact that Japan just had the absolute worst luck.

Golden opportunity goes off the post, with a follow-up header bouncing up off the crossbar.


EDIT: And Italy takes the lead a few minutes later. That's gotta be depressing.

EDIT 2: And Japan has a goal called off due to a player being offsides. This is certainly entertaining.

James Gandolfini, aka Tony Soprano, has died. That sucks.

Anyone watching Spain-Tahiti today?

This Aaron Hernandez story gets weirder by the hours

Police plan to go back to the home of New England Patriot's tight end Aaron Hernandez today with another warrant based on evidence that "he destroyed his home security system,'' an investigator close to the case told ABC News.

The investigator, and other law enforcement sources, confirmed that the security system - which included video surveillance - was smashed intentionally.

And a cell phone used by Hernandez was handed over to investigators "in pieces'' by his attorneys, the sources said.

Police also want to know why a team of house cleaners were hired on Monday to scrub Hernandez's mansion, sources told ABC News.

I'm planning to tune in for a little while at least, just to see if Spain puts the throttle down.

Odd indeed. Destroying your own security cameras is a good way to arouse suspicion. I bet we'll find out a lot more before it's all said and done.

State deciding to go with Rodon again. Very risky decision with the short amount of rest he's had. Hopefully it pays off.

I was happy when Stone was announced as the starter, not sure how I feel about this. Might improve our chances tonight, but if we win we'll have to beat UCLA two days in a row without Rodon. Then again, he might be able to go in Game 1 if we were to make it to the championship series. Of course, none of this matters if tonight doesn't go well

 

[Novacane]

Not looking good.

After yelling at my TV when watching it live, I've gotta give credit to the home plate ump with the call at the plate on that first run. He was the only guy in the park that thought Holberton was safe (except Holberton, of course), and it turned out he was...

Don't ask me what I did.

 

[DaleCooper]

From this game?

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Don't ask me what I did.

Now I have to ask.

 

[tomdundo]

I'm not too optimistic right now. Just like I wasn't optimistic once UCLA put up that 2nd run.

 

[Novacane]

Now I have to ask.

While holding my remote, I attempted to hit a random piece of furniture. Only my pointer finger was in between said random piece of furniture and remote. Pretty sure I broke it.



****ing pathetic brain I have. That run doesn't even matter now.

 

[Novacane]

Should have started Stone.

 

[tomdundo]

Should have started Stone.

Rodon sucks. Kill him.

 

[tomdundo]

Well, that was a terrible inning.

 

[Novacane]

I would be pretty upset about this game if it wasn't for my finger. Kind of a blessing in disguise.

 

[Novacane]

Well damn. Grats to the Pack for getting this far. And grats to the Heels.

 

[Brock Anton]

Calling it now, Manu Ginobili's retiring.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Yeah, not that a comeback was likely or anything, but what in the world was Manu doing on those last two possessions?

That's a really good question. I really have nothing close to a logical answer.
