This has not been a great day for the red, white and blue.
Let’s recap, shall we?
1. Softball – The era of dominance ends on what could be the final day of Olympic softball competition as the U.S. falls to Japan, 3-1, in the gold medal game. It was our first loss since 2000.
The sport is off the docket for the 2012 Games in London, but could possibly return in 2016. That’s a long time to wait to rinse the taste of this away…
2. Track and Field – We dropped the #$%^&&* baton? NO! The 4×100 relay teams, which may not have won gold, now won’t even get to try as both the men and women botched a baton handoff during the heats.
Wow, aside from Michael Phelps, we’re having a choke fest of an Olympics. Sure, we’ve had some great stories. But our favorites have been going as wrong as John Edwards’ personal life.
Our women’s soccer team is playing Brazil for gold right now. Maybe they can bring this day up a bit.
