SAILING: The contest to decide the America's Cup challenger begins in six hours.: The Louis Vuitton Cup final decides whether Oracle BMW Racing or Alinghi will challenge Team New Zealand for the America's Cup next month. Alinghi has already beaten Oracle 5-1 in this tournament (including a 4-0 sweep in the semifinals; Oracle got into the final by winning the "second-chance" repechage). But I want to see Oracle bring the America's Cup to San Francisco, so go Oracle!

Crap. They postponed it due to "strong northeasterly winds and large swells." Even so, "Oracle proposed removing the wind limits for the series, but Alinghi didn’t consent to the proposal." Scaredy-cat Swiss.

I hope Oracle has found some new speed and makes it through. Is the TV coverage still on OLN? or ESPN2? If it's ESPN2, I can go to my in-laws house in berkeley to watch it. (My cable in Oakland doesn't offer ESPN2)
