WOW! (good and bad)

The lowly Braves were beaten by the Mets last night, 6-3. They are now 1-9 in their last 10 games. Jair Jurrjens took the loss and Gregor Blanco had 2 of the 3 Atlanta hits in the game. Tom Glavine had an MRI that showed he does not have ligament damage. Casey Kotchman was put on the bereavement list to be with his mother, who is ill. Brandon Jones was called up to take Kotchman's place on the roster. The final game of the series is tonight. Oft-injured pitchers Mike Hampton and Pedro Martinez will pitch. Game time is 710p.

Usain Bolt demolished the competition in the 200m dash last night. He won by .52 seconds and set a world record that no one thought could ever be broken.

The US softball team lost for the first time in the last 3 Olympics, losing to Japan 3-1 in the gold medal game. A silver medal has to be a disappointment for a team that has rolled through most world competitions.

The women's basketball team is in a tough game with Russia, only leading by 1 at the half, 33-32.
