Morning Sports Shorts 6/21
Junior reaches 500: And baseball's collective fanbase breathes a sigh of relief. Griffey's pursuit of HR immortality has dominated sports coverage for a few weeks now, much to the chagrin of those like myself. Hopefully Greg Maddux will hit a dry spell soon, giving us a few weeks off before the "Maddux chases 300 wins" fervor heats up.
No SEC-cess in Omaha: Considering how much Southeasterners enjoy their barbecued pork, it seems fitting that the Hogs went 2-and-BBQ in the CWS. A fellow SEC team -- either LSU or South Carolina, will join Arkansas in elimination today. I seem to remember everyone raving about the greatness of the SEC last week. 1-5 through three days doesn't sound so great.
Dungy the dad: Peter King pens a great Father's Day piece about Colts coach Tony Dungy. BTW, King's in the basement for the next month, which makes for another reason why July Mondays will suck.
USA Soccer advances: It's two years until the World Cup, but qualifying has already begun. I hear the U.S. is currently ranked No. 8 in the world. I don't really follow soccer, but I enjoy watching us stick it to the Euros and South Americans, being as their lives revolve around soccer and most us in America couldn't care less.
Goosen wins at Shinnecock: Mickleson came close to winning a second Major in a row, but Goose outlasted him. That course was insanely tough, especially on Sunday. Had Sunday's conditions (which I hear are normal) been present all weekend, no one would have finished under par.
