Mets win 8-7 on a walkoff 2-run HR by Carlos Beltran. Also, the Mets acquired Shawn Green from the D'Backs for minor leaguer Evan McLane. Nice acquisition for the Mets, IMO. More depth is always nice

Good victory for the MLS, but let's see them do that against a full strength Chelsea team. They'd probably be able to hold their own for like 20 minutes, then the class would take its toll. Chelsea would beat an MLS All Star team relatively easily.

I'm not sure about being good now Biggz. He went 2-10 with a ERA in the high 6's. I think he's better off staying in the minors until the rosters expand and let him get some garbage time starts, because barring a complete collapse, the Mets will not lose the division. I do like bringing Roberto Hernandez back though. The Mets shoulda' never gotten rid of him in the first place EDIT again: Todd Walker to the Padres for a minor leaguer. Padres add some more offense.

According to ESPN, the Mets acquire RP Roberto Hernandez and SP Oliver Perez from the Pirates for OF Xavier Nady. This trade made because Duaner Sanchez got hurt in an automobile accident, and is out indefinitely.

Aurora Flow Blue Left...or something like that

Kou - Where'd you get that skin? Edit: NM, you told me. Thanks.

I'm hoping Reading finds a way to avoid relegation in their first season. Plus, I'd like Wigan to continue to build on the positive progress they made last season.

I was appointed manager of the USA national team, but none of my QPR staff will accept my offers to join me on the USA staff. Why? I've got a bunch of good Italian coaches with great ratings, and maybe they can help these guys do something that doesn't involve losing.

Can't say that I didn't see this coming, but it'll be a bit unusual watching some Serie A soccer and not seeing Juventus. Oh well, they got what they deserved if they were going to cheat. Same with Lazio and Fiorentina. They got what they deserved.

All the aggression you had was taken out on Andrea Pirlo last week

Oh, come off it. If the US had a 2-1 lead we'd be doing the same thing. It's called stalling out the clock. Unbelievable. Why was Twellman not on the squad? Why was Johnson never a starter? Why did we play a 4-5-1? And can we borrow a Dutch coach for next time -- they seem to know what they're doing.

I got the game a few days ago. Any suggestions as to what tactic to use, and who to buy with around $11,000,000 to give Wigan a chance at a safe mid-table finish?

Ecuador upends Poland 2-0 on goals by Augustin Delgado and Carlos Tenorio. Great win for the minnow South American side

Oh, I see. My apologies Is it just me, or did Costa Rica give Germany more trouble than we all expected?

Why not? Ties (or draws) are part of the game. They happen. As fans, we can hope they don't happen, but we can't prevent'em. :ohwell:

That was a good first game, looking forward to game #2. I think Ecuador could be a tougher out for Poland than we think. Something tells me Poland will only get a tie out of this

Frings with a great goal to pretty much seal the deal for the Germans!

I love the classic heavyweights...this crop of heavyweights is just abysmal. As for the lower divisions, I'd like to see Ricky Hatton fight in the US. I've heard a lot about him and he sounds like a very exciting fighter. I'd absolutely mark for Hatton v. Gatti or something to that extent

My top 10 favorites.. 10. Doug Gilmour (Devils years) 9. Ken Daneyko 8. Mike Richter 7. Tony Amonte 6. Jeff Beukeboom 5. Brian Leetch 4. Wendel Clark 3. Wade Belak 2. Mark Messier 1. Scott Stevens

Very sad. Kirby was indeed one of my favorite sluggers of the 90's. I thought he'd pull through too, but I guess god has bigger plans. RIP Kirby Puckett

San Diego signs Mike Piazza to a 1 year contract, and I believe it comes with an option for next season at $8,000,000. Remind me to order tickets for the Padres - Mets series on August 8th - 10th, as I want to see my idol at Shea one last time (Piazza)

Great game last night between the Oilers and the Rangers. Good to see the Rangers get a win on Mark Messier Night. That ceremony had me in tears. I can't think of any other team captain who played the role as well as Messier. Definitely one of the top 10 players of all time.
