Cycling Time Trial
I'll start with Fabian Cancellara's gold medal win in the Men's Time Trial. It was a great win for him, as the course really didn't favor his talents. However as the current World Champion of this event he was not to be denied.
Out on course
Gustav Larsson, Sweden (silver), Fabian Cancellara, Switzerland (gold), Levi Leipheimer, USA (bronze)
On the women's side of Road Racing, American Kristin Armstrong had a strong effort in winning the gold medal for the Time Trial.
On to baseball - The Red Sox and Rangers series
The Rangers have been forced by circumstances to bring up young pitchers that are quite ready for the Bigs. This led to the Red Sox scoring 37 runs in a 3 game series. The first match up was a wild roller coater with the Red Sox jumping out to an early 10-0 lead in the first. More runs were exchanged until the Rangers went ahead. The Red Sox came back to tie it and then Youck put it away with a 3 run home run in the bottom of the 8th. The Red Sox won that one 19-17. Big Papi hit 2 three run homers in the 1st inning. He hit another, but due to fan interference it was ruled a double. Youck can up behind him to hit his first homer of the game. Since we won it was exciting and fun! We won the second game 8-4 on a good outing by Jon Lester. The last game was won 10-0 behind Dice-K.
The Rangers saw a lot of this!
