Survived the first of the Pirates-Giants series, which the home team (Pittsburgh) won two of three. Both teams go on, wounded but always entertaining.
I'm not watching the actual games but I am noting the NBA finals--I never thought I'd ever root for the San Antonio Spurs, but they are playing the Heat and now it's all up to a game 7. It's sort of amazing that the Spurs are still built around the stars that were playing when the Lakers were beating them en route to championships. Anyway, they came within a shot of winning the 6th game and the series, and keeping LeBron out of the Michael Jordan greatness conversation. Though the game 5 winner usually wins the 7th, the depressing prospect is that the Heat will finish it. The Spurs need a big lead in the fourth, because they just don't have a finisher. On the other hand I'm surprised it's going 7, so I could be happily wrong--not happily exactly, more like grimly satisfied.
Meanwhile there's the sporting event above to report on--the congressional baseball game, won by the Dems 22-0.
Postscript: On Wednesday afternoon the SF Giants won their second come from behind game in a row against San Diego--they would have won the entire series except for a miraculous catch in the 12th inning Monday night. They're at home, and with today's game, they've sold out their 200th consecutive game at AT&T Park (as it's called now), the longest active streak in the majors. And this sellout was an afternoon game in the middle of the week. San Francisco's way too laid back image is obsolete.
