Bitter and sweet first thoughts on Day 12.

Damn you Ryan Carneli! You lucky Aussie fuck! 1-0 win over the Philippines's Tshomlee Go. AAAARGH! The possibility of no medal for the Philippines at the Beijing Games looks golden. I can't believe I'm calling for it. But now I am.

Mention the name "Crystl Bustos" in Japan and everyone who follows softball down there raises their hands in despair. At the top of the ninth inning, her 3-run bomb over the fence was the key factor in what was, up until that point, a nailbiter.

The adventures of Phil and Todd conclude with a match against Fabio Luiz Magalhaes and Marcio Araujo of Brazil for the gold.

Have fun, guys.

USA Field Hockey,

Lee Bodimeade must be sacked. NOW.

To fail in their last game, a classification match, against Spain, 3-2 on a golden goal, is clearly unacceptable, and you know as well as I do that he should be gone. Keep him on board, and our prospects to qualify for Longdon 2012 are tanked well before the next Pan-Am Games starts.

Bodimeade must go. Get. It. Done.
