We're going to the finals 

Well... sort of. Granted, it was Panama, but the US sealed a spot in the final round of World Cup qualifying with a 6-0 thrashing last night. Most encouraging is the emergence of young Eddie Johnson -- a 20 year old forward for MLS' Dallas Burn -- who scored a hat trick. The US has been lacking a bit in the goal scoring department, so this is very welcome.

Oh, by the way, switching gears from soccer to baseball, know who isn't going to the finals? That is to say, know who will lose to the Yankees in the ALCS? Yeah, poor Boston. They were owned last night by John Lieber, a middling journeyman pitcher. With Schilling and Pedro dropping the first two games and now word that Schilling may not even be able to pitch game 5 (should the series go that far) I think the Red Sox are all but done. Yankees just look too comfortable... again. They know this routine. They've done it countless times before.
