I don't know nearly as much about poker as I thought I did. Apparently, watching the occasional episode of one hand might beat another instead of paying attention to the plot.

Landon Donovan continued to put ’06 in the past with a stellar performance against Mexico last night. He capped off USA’s victory with a blistering charge through midfield, in which he shed two defenders before deftly turning to the left to avoid keeper Oswaldo Sanchez and slamming the ball home to make it 2-0 at the 90 minute mark. In his last two games he has 3 goals after going 18 international appearances without a score. Playing before a hostile crowd in Arizona - that’s right, US fans were outnumbered at The University of Phoenix Stadium - the game seemed to present a tough challenge, though we haven’t lost to Mexico on home soil since 1999. Mexico had bolstered its squad by recalling all available top internationals, including Omar Bravo, Francisco Fonseca and danger man Jared Borgetti. Top US defender, Oguchi Onyewu, was unfortunately unavailable for the match, due to obligations to club team, Newcastle. Borgetti has given the US trouble in the past and nearly equalized the score with a header that barely went wide of the right post. After Jimmy Conrad’s goal (his first in 19 appearances) in the 52nd minute - headed home with conviction after a beautiful corner kick by Landon Donovan - Mexico turned up the heat. Seven of Mexico’s nine shots came in the second half. The US defense held firm, however, with Jimmy Conrad playing a stellar all around game. Though US goalie Tim Howard had to come up big on two excellent chances, all other scoring opportunities were heavily hindered by the US defense. Our main problem was a lack of consistent flow through midfield. At times the service just wasn’t there for the forwards. When he got the ball, Bobby Convey stood out. His charges up the wing repeatedly confounded Mexico’s defense and he nearly put the US up by two goals in the 72nd minute. Close in to the keeper, he shot the ball right into Sanchez’s waiting arms. If Convey adds a defter touch to his game he could be one of the US’s deadliest players.

Bostonist experiences schadenfreude because of a stupid criminal. We experience schadenfreude every time we listen to the soundtrack.

Bravo for living up to your promise to have the city cleaned up after Live 8, and for making sure the Parkway was litter-free after all the Independence Day celebration activities. When those of us who work on the Parkway arrived to work on Tuesday, there was nary an empty paper cup or spare sock in sight. Congratulations. Alas, you seem to have forgotten something: the port-a-potties. And John (may we call you John?), lemme tell ya -- they stink. We're sure you've had the common courtesy to empty them, but the stale stank of feces and sweaty concert goers still hangs heavy in the air here on the Parkway. The weekend's excesses are not forgotten by those who have to work on the Parkway, holding our noses as we sprint into our buildings past the lines of fetid port-a-potties. For the love of all that is good and right in the world, John -- pay someone to remove the port-a-potties. It's now two days since all the events ended. If you can have two tons of concert goer detritus removed from the Parkway within 12 hours, surely you can convince a few guys with trucks to come and pick these things up, right? 400 heavily used and abused port-a-potties being left to brew in the 85 degree/90% humidity soup is not helping your image, OK? Love and kisses,
