Wild World of Wednesday - May 13, 2009

Dropped Like A Hot Potato: I just caught the news that the British Masters is being dropped from the European Tour. Apparently the main sponsor's contract is up and a replacement has not been found. The English Open has also fallen off of the Tour Schedule.

Nice Calendar: By the way, Sky Sports has an excellent soccer schedule on the web. I believe it has almost every European league's games. Very nice.

Speaking of Euro Soccer: Have you seen the schedule for the UEFA Women's Euro? The final group starts in August.

And One More: Don't forget that the Champions League final is on the 27th of this month. Barcelona faces Manchester United.

Today In Sports History

1992 - Frank Stallone beats Geraldo Rivera in boxing on the Howard Stern Show (yes, I know this is a stretch to call it boxing)

Happy Birthday to Barry Zito - there, that should make up for the horrible chants I took part in the last time I saw him at Chavez Ravine.
