Wide World of Sports
Base10 watched the Mets last night have a disappointing game at Fenway against a red-hot Bosox lineup. Final score: 9-4. Of note was the truly nice greeting given to Pedro Martinez by Sox fans--way to go guys. Base10 lived in Boston for a year and really liked the city. It's a true sports town.

Pedro, of course, pitches tonight against Josh Beckett. Click here for a preview.

Meanwhile, over in England, it was a good day for the tennis divas. Venus Williams, Maria Sharapova and Amelie Mauresmo all swept their competition. On the men's side, Roger Federer crushed Tim Henman. Click here for an interesting story about wagering patterns on some matches at Wimbledon.

Across the channel, the round of eight is set in the World Cup. As Base10 predicted, Americans are showing little interest in the event.

The minicamps are hear, so there's a little news about football, too. Charles Robinson thinks that Chad Pennington's days as the starting QB are over. Base10 hopes young Pennington can return to top form, but it's clear that Eric Mangini will prepare for the worst. In fantasy news, Base10's top receiver Steve Smith has received pre-season accolades as the most desireable player in his position.
