Though they came up short the U.S. Women’s soccer team has inspired a new generation of young athletes to shoot for the moon. Congrats to Japan, a nation in need of healing, who played with poise and congrats to team USA for representing our country so proudly. Way to go Ladies!

Wow. What a rally by the Rockies in the last few weeks to come on strong in the division before the break. I’d love to see them get aggressive and get a little help to get them over the hump in the second half, but regardless, I think the rest of the Rockies season will give us a little something to talk about around here besides the upcoming Broncos season.

Oh and BTW I have another World Cup cartoon over on ESPN.com. Feel free to leave some comments there or retweet it even. It helps.

Are you beginning to catch a bit of the fever that has hit the U.S. lately? Fans are flocking to the sports bars in droves to catch the excitement of the World Cup. And, ya know, it feels pretty good. We could certainly stand a pick-me-up these days. Between the sour economy and the mess in the Gulf, life has become a bit of a downer. I say embrace the whole thing with the same crazed giddiness found around the rest of the world. Grab your vuvuzelas and go Bonkers. It’ll do us all some good.
