My day is dragging, Tink. How's yours (she asked with great optimism)?

[Q]

Tink - yes, he did - and in beautiful style, as usual

If you go to the official Wimbledon site, they have a live score tracker that you can click and just leave on to monitor the score (it also gives match stats, as well.) He's in a great battle! Honestly, he's putting on the best show of the tournament, between his Quarter-final and now this semi.

Thanks Q, that is what i've been doing.

Moony - it is going ok. Not dragging but stuff is starting to hit into high gear so I've been running all over the office (Customer Service is upstairs on the opposite end of the building) and on the phone/putting fires out/etc.

They have a live radio feed that is a play-by-play of the match as well. I am listening as I clean up before my family arrives.

Go Roddick.

I read the live blog and watch the score. It really is quite something - he's playing not only Murray, but seemingly the whole of the British Isles! It used to be that he couldn't withstand the mental pressure, but he's right in there.

I see Roddick taking the Agassi route, and having a great later career. I also think they're similar men - good boys to the core - and I like that a lot

The commentators are actually pretty fair.

Damn NBC for not showing this live for us.

[Q]

Posted: 7/3/09 at 1:15pm

YWIW - don't get me started on coverage! I've been railing about it for YEARS/DECADES. They only really show lots of the US Open - but then still focus on the marquis US players.

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 7/3/09 at 1:21pm

I remember better coverage when I was younger, but perhaps that was because there were more top US tennis players.

This may go to five sets.

EDIT: Roddick needs to win this now in the tie-break.

Well, I've turned on the radio broadcast now, as well - I wanted to her the crowd! This is where we'll see how well Andy's holding together - I'm sure he'd rather close it out and be done, rather than go to a 5th!

[YouWantitWhen????]

The crowd is freaking amazing.

It seems like Roddick is getting a decent amount of encouragement.

Has Roddick ever one won a grand slam? I don't know whether he can beat Federer, but I would be rooting for him.

[Q]

Posted: 7/3/09 at 1:28pm

He won the 2003 US Open - back when NO ONE knew what to do with his serve!

Serving has made the difference in this match - Murray's has been way off.

Match point...

These announcers are amazing! Updated On: 7/3/09 at 01:29 PM

Well, if Roddick was to have any chance, he needed to stop this one at 4 - and he has.

Track record is not in his favor with Roger - and especially with Rog eyeing the record!

This is a golf tournament you're talking about, right?

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 7/3/09 at 1:34pm

All right, back to work.

Happy Friday all!

[Q]

Posted: 7/3/09 at 1:36pm

Moony - I get this worked up when Tiger plays, as well - it's just a little quieter

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 7/3/09 at 1:37pm

You're such a sports junkie.

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 7/3/09 at 1:38pm

It seems Q is, for the more gentlemanly sports.

Posted: 7/3/09 at 1:39pm

The Tinman just looks at me and shakes his head. I think HE thinks I missed a memo somewhere along the line

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 7/3/09 at 1:41pm

Well, that is why we love you.

Have a great Friday. Say hello to the TinMan from me.

Off to hide the crap from the family.

Do you have feelings of inadequacy? Do you suffer from shyness?
Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist about C****nay. C****nay is the safe, natural way to feel better and more confident about yourself and your actions. C****nay can help ease you out of your shyness and let you tell the world that you're ready and willing to do just about anything.

You will notice the benefits of C****nay almost immediately and with a regimen of regular doses you can overcome any obstacles that prevent you from living the life you want to live.

Shyness and awkwardness will be a thing of the past and you will discover many talents you never knew you had. Stop hiding and start living, with C****nay.

C****nay may not be right for everyone. Women who are pregnant or nursing should not use C****nay. However, women who wouldn't mind nursing or becoming pregnant are encouraged to try it. Side effects may include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, incarceration, erotic lustfulness, loss of motor control, loss of clothing, loss of money, loss of virginity, delusions of grandeur, table dancing, headache, dehydration, dry mouth, and a desire to sing Karaoke and play all-night rounds of Strip Poker, Truth Or Dare, and Naked Twister.

WARNINGS:
* The consumption of C****nay may make you think you are whispering when you are not.
* The consumption of C****nay may cause you to tell your friends over and over again that you love them.
* The consumption of C****nay may cause you to think you can sing.
* The consumption of C****nay may lead you to believe that ex-lovers are really dying for you to telephone them at four in the morning.
* The consumption of C****nay may make you think you can logically converse with members of the opposite sex without spitting.
* The consumption of C****nay may create the illusion that you are tougher, smarter, faster and better looking than most people.

ETA: C****nay = white wine of a certain variety. I am also on a borrowed computer and just got a virus warning from this page, so I'm logging off. Have a great weekend all.
