Michael Phelps won a record-breaking 8 gold medals at the Beijing Olympics including memorable finishes in the 4 x 100 freestyle relay and the 100 meter butterfly. But he only set 7 world records and I didn't watch a single race, so it could not have been all that important.
In interesting news, the All Blacks of New Zealand demonstrated a bend-don't-break strategy against the Springboks of South Africa, several times letting the host team reach the goal line (or whatever the fuck they call it in rugby) but refusing to yield any points. The All Blacks won 19-0 in a game that featured what seemed like a dozen missed kicks. Somewhere Mike Vanderjagt scoffed "I can do that."
The Mets won their 6th in a row on the road yesterday on the strength of a 3 hit shutout by Johan Santana. Johan finally figured out how to prevent the bullpen from blowing another sure victory by throwing only 5 pitches to retire the side in the 9th. Hey fuckheads how hard is that? The Mets looks to finish off their sweep of genuine baseball-like teams this afternoon in Pittsburgh and hold onto their slim 2 game lead over the Phillies.
