nick's notes:

did u see that game which just ended? it was quite a stunner, as the US soccer team was able to defeat the Mexican team 2 - nil. and so that means that the US team will now advance further than they have ever before in the world cup, as they're next game will be against germany in the quarter finals. and if u haven't seen any of these world cup matches, then i'd have to say u've been missing out - and it's about time u jump on the band wagon as the US team is still alive.

phil- regarding those random thoughts of yours...."Giants and A's - who's the better team?"....that's a no brainer, i can answer that w/o putting any thought into it at all - b/c the A's are certainly the superior team, as they demonstrated this weekend going into sf and winning the series against the giants. and for anyone interested; who wants to go see an A's game friday july 5th - it's a 6:05 game time which will be followed by a pyrospectacular show. and as i've been to oakland pyrospectaculars in the past, i can attest to the fact that their fireworks are spectacular. i know some of u are interested already, and anyone else who's interested - just lemme know b/c i plan on getting tickets this week.
