Australia's first innings aren't going so great for them today. 86-6?!

Uh, make that 110-8.

I didn't realize until yesterday that Papelbon is both the Sox and Phillies career saves leader. I suppose he's got a shot at accomplishing that in DC as well.

If he focuses on the business at hand and doesn't get too many ejections.

I love Abby Wambach, but the story shouldn't be that she's deciding whether to play in the 2016 Olympics. It's whether she can make the squad.

I don't understand cricket any more.

Yeah. At stumps, England is trailing by only a few runs and they have only two out.

Did Hazard score after that great slalom, or did Azpilecuta make an own goal? I can't tell from that video. Yuck yuck yuck.

She 'clarified' some of her comments today, being sure to say, "It's not a foregone conclusion I would be chosen." Unfortunately, I don't think Ellis has the intestinal fortitude to cut Abby if she's not one of the best 18 available.
