Sports: Some games today: Washington Post listed these events to be broadcast

Thanks to WaPo's sports coverage and provision of a daily listing of events -- Major League Baseball and the French Open tennis meet --  refWrite can signal its readers who may want to tune into widely broadcast sporting events.  If you subscribe to WaPo's daily email service, you can get notice of their Sports stories, and the viewer/listener heads-up, like today's.

Washington Post frontpage is here.  French Open tennis match news is here.  Sad, but Serena Williams had problems (the clay court clogged her tennis shoes, made her footing unsure), and she lost.  WaPo's Sports today features an article by Barry Svrluga (a most interesting name with the pile up of four consonsants at the front end of the word), the article is 3-pages long "Five years ago, the Washington Nationals were on top of the world" (June2,2k10).

WaPo, of course, roots, roots, roots for the home team, "If they don't win ...."  You know the great oldtimes baseball song, don't you?   The leading newspaper in the American nation's capital roots for these major league teams:

Baseball:     Nats (Nationals)  ...  and the Orioles (Baltimore, Maryland nearby DC).

Football:     Redskins  -- "Offensive coordinator Kyle Shahanian is pretty creative, and you've got to think he'll get the most out of two pass-catching tight ends. Cooley has been spotted lined up wide at times and without a clear No. 3 receiver, both Fred Davis and Cooley could see a lot of action, especially with a quarterback who relies so heavily on the tight end," says Jason Reid, "Redskins Insider" columnist for WAPO who's wr+ting these days about the Skins in practice exhibitions to fans at DC's Redskins Park.

Hockey:     Capitals  --  Catch sports columnist Tarik El-Bashir's preview of tonite's hockey cup finals  Game 3, "Chicago [Blackhawks] at Philadelphia [Flyers], Game 3 preview" (Jun2,2k10).

Soccer:       United   --   The big story today in the USA is not the various city franchises of this sport,  but the recent  win of the USA national soccer team against Turkey (Jun2,2k10). See the pix below: May29,2k10; Jozy Altidore (r+t) battles for  the ball with Turkey's Servet Cetin.  Pix:  John McDonnell - WaPo.
