Well, wasn't yesterday a great day in sports.

First we've got the Sox, who come back to Boston with an 0-2 defecit after a lackluster 5-1 decision. Very quiet bats after 162 games of solid base knocks.

Then the Twins lose to the Yankees, keeping the Evil Empire alive.

Add to that West Virginia letting Miami off the mat. The Mountaineers had a one point lead with 2 minutes to do, had Miami on a 4th and 13 in their own territory but allowed them to convert. From that point on it was less about if than when/how.

But hope springs eternal on this Friday morning. Canada, the 12th seed in the Women's World Cup, knocked China (whose Most Favored Nation status extends to soccer) out of the tournament 1-0 on a great goal in the seventh minute.
