Totally unrelated to baseball, or Jason Grimsley, or Hazel Mae
World Cup play begins in half an hour. I for one cannot wait. As with the World Baseball Classic, my (non-US) team is the Netherlands, again because of their awesome names. Back in March I got all excited about the Dutch WBC team, because of players like Robin van Doornspeek, Dirk van Klooster, Jair Jurrjens, Nick Stuifbergen, Sharnol Adriana, Ivanon Coffie, Yurendell DeCaster, Mark Duursma, and Raylinoe Legito. Turns out those guys have nothing on the Dutch World Cup team. Their best is Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, who totally kicks everyone else's asses, but there are a bunch of other winners as well: Rafael Van der Vaart, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Giovanni von Bronckhorst, Maarten Stekelenberg, Andrei Ooijer, Hedwiges Maduro, and Dirk Kuyt. Wow. Go Dutch!

Hey there...How are ya? They just added ESPN2 HD to our lineup. WE always had ESPNHD. Previously there was only an SD feed for the deuce. How nice is the World Cup in HD? Nice. ABC is showing the England game right now, in 720pHD. And then the Sox, at 1, where any rain will be showery, not enough to stop anything. Go Jon...I mean GO!
