Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic Games

[Ding Dong Johnson]

i'm glad that baseball is being removed from the olympics, but synchronized swimming remains :roll:

baseball being removed doesn't bother me so much with the WBC. and yes, I'll go on record as saying I like the WBC

hey nbc, thanks for showing every other women's volleyball game live, except for the freakin gold medal match, which is on 8 hours after it happens.

 

no wonder nobody watches your crappy network.

I don't want major league players playing simply because it takes place during the middle of the season

 

We should just make all the crappy teams send their best American players. We could have quite a team.

 

Sizemore-CF

Chipper Jones-3B

Holliday-LF

Adrian Gonzalez-1B

McCann-C

Markakis-RF

Brian Roberts-2B

Clint Barmes-SS (slim pickins...maybe put Roberts at SS and Brandon Phillips at 2B)

 

Lincecum

Peavy

Cliff Lee

Matt Cain

Aaron Cook

He was born in the U.S. despite playing for Mexico in the WBC.

South Korea pulled off the upset on Cuba in baseball to win 3-2 and get the gold. Team USA beat Japan 8-4 for bronze.

that Kenyan was crazy fast in the marathon, is is the Usain bolt of the Marathon. 80+degrees and 70 percent humidity and 2:06, he was freaking fast. That is about a 4:42 pace or faster

Communism chokes on the men's platform diving final

[hardcorecubfan]

Communism chokes on the men's platform diving final

A hundred cubic feet of concrete is hard to swallow.

 

Also, congratulations to that Kenyan marathoner. That was the rare case of a celebration during play that didn't make me dislike the athlete.

 

Also, mountain time sucks for watching the olympics.

[hardcorecubfan]

did anybody have doubts about the 4x400 men? It was a much better bet than Big Brown

[radarluv1]

did i just see a remote control javelin returner? i really want one of those!
