3 quick sports-related notes...

1. Congrats to the amazing Dwyane Wade and his teammates on the Miami Heat for winning the NBA Championship, but in my humble opinion there is just NO WAY the Mavericks should have lost that series. To be up 2-0 and then just lose the next 4 games consecutively? There's no excuse for that...

2. Tomorrow the US faces a must-win situation in the World Cup. If they can beat Ghana and Italy beats the Czech Republic, the US will advance to the knockout stage where they would meet Brazil. If somehow they can get out of the group, most people will look at the World Cup as a mild success and hopefully forget the 3-0 embarassment they suffered at the hands of the Czech Republic in their first game.

3. Oregon State is still alive in the College World Series. They have now beaten Georgia and Miami and tonight they face Rice (TV on ESPN2). They would have to beat Rice two times to advace to the championship series. I don't usually root for the Beavs, but in this case I'm pulling for them.

A longer, more detailed post (with pics!) hopefully later today.
