I actually saw the beaning and subsequent ejection (I was on my way out, so I only caught a few minutes). I don't think I've ever seen a pitcher being ejected for beaning a player in the Majors.
2008 Olympics!

Canada and the U.S. tied for gold in the Team Show Jumping event (in equestrian). Since ties aren't allowed, they had to have a jump-off, which the U.S. won. So Canada won silver, and we're quite pleased.
And right now I'm watching Simon Whitfield getting his silver medal in the Men's Triathlon.
The catchers were crowding the plate a bit.
Go May and Walsh. They are so very dominate in this sport and I can't wait till the final either. Should be a good one. The Americans have had some difficulty beating the Chinese this Olympics, so maybe this is some payback.
Anyone following the Redeem Team. They are looking amazing so far and I think American international Basketball has made a triumphant return. The only thing I wish would be these players bringing back this good attitude and defense (Who knew?) to the NBA. Might make it a better league.

I've seen every game except the one vs. Greece. They play it close for the first quarter then dominate the rest of the game. Their fast breaks are awesome, you need to watch a game just to see some of those.
I like some of the comments that some of the NBA players were "outed" they could play defense.

We just got a silver medal in sailing.Sweet!
We got two gold yesterday ... rather sweet. The mens 470 team were awesome, before the last race yesterday all they had to was finish the race, as they had enough points for the gold medal, but won the final race, and showed how dominant they were.
Also, did anyone hear about the incident that happened in the table tennis? *And someone thought why should it be there, when a certain sport isn't*
I wouldn't be surprised at all if Britain wins another three gold medals on the cycling track today (men's&women's sprint, men's madison)...
edit: well, maybe strike women's sprint, I'm not sure about that.
edit2: Chris Hoy is ridiculously strong this year, the men's sprint isn't even a competition with him in the race...

The poms have been awesome at these Olympics with the Cycling.
Currently have on the Opals play the Czech republic, and we're winning by 20 points in this quarter final match in women's basketball.

Ok, I was half wrong, seems like the Britons will win the two sprints, but they lost the Madison (must be a big disappointment for Cavendish). 
Depends whether you're measuring by total number of medals or by number of gold medals...Another sailing gold for GB... keeps us above Australia in the table.

Golds, speaking of which we have 16 now after Christine Ohuruogu won the 400m! We're only two behind on total tally though.
Ah, see, I'm from Canada, which as a lot of bronze medals. So I measure by total number of medals.Depends whether you're measuring by total number of medals or by number of gold medals...Another sailing gold for GB... keeps us above Australia in the table.
