The games continue...

The Braves host the Cubs tonight at 710p. Charlie Morton pitches for the Braves, Rich Harden will pitch for the Cubbies.

Micheal Phelps won his third gold medal in three tries, winning the 200m freestlye last night. He is halfway through his 17 swims and still on pace to get his 8 gold medals.

The US men's gymnastics team got the bronze. The team had no Olympic experience, but started out well and was second after 4 of the 6 rotations. However, their weakest events were on rotations 5 and 6, so they settled for a well-deserved and unexpected bronze medal.

The Men's basketball team is playing Angola right now and lead 29-18 in the first quarter. This is the last of their "warmup" pool games before they face Greece, Spain, and Germany over the next 6 days. The women's team is 2-0 and they play Mali, Spain, and New Zealand to finish pool play. The women have won their first two games by an average of 42 points.
