Listen up Sports Fans – that crashing sound you hear are the records falling in men’s tennis. Rafael Nadal won the French Open today for the Eighth time. That’s right. French Open # 8. No other man has ever won a single major 8 times. This is Bigger than a Big Deal and the old woman Slow couldn’t have been happier.
Rafa reaches for history
I think I can, I think I can
That shot was shitty, which is Spanish for shitty
OMG, I did it!!!
Tennis Ball Obsessed Chelsea the only one watching with Slow
and she wasn’t too excited about it
It doesn’t get any better than this
David Ferrer holds runner-up trophy as Usain Bolt looks at trophy
David Ferrer’s parents were just thrilled for their son to be in the final
Rafa’s Uncle Toni very happy – still turning up collar
Well, first I want to say thank you,
Thank You Very Much!
To the Victor
The old woman Slow thinks Nadal looks like Elvis
Well Amigos if you noticed the favorite chair in the photo, it was empty today. The Red Man had zero interest in tennis and couldn’t stand Slow’s angst over the Nadal final. Thank God he won – I could hear her groans every time Ferrer hit a good shot. I was upstairs with Smokey Lonesome Ollie and we were commiserating over the sports fanatics at Casa de Canterbury. Shit house mouse. The consequences of living with lesbians.
The Cocks won the second game of the Super Regional against North Carolina this afternoon so there’ll be another game tomorrow. North Carolina hasn’t lost two games in a row all year. Hmmm…I wonder.
Get me outta here Percy…I’m a Dog on the Edge of sports overdosing…somebody save me…
Red's Rants and Raves 
Red Man – at least it’s over for a while! What a record eh? The real final was two days before though – now that was a truly great match.

My kitchen windows went in yesterday and the bedroom windows are going in today – it’s like one of those TV shows where we’re running out of time before everyone arrives home! 😯

Rafa really rolled at Roland! (I was hoping he’d win so I could say that . . . ruff ruff!) Hopefully your eardrums and nerves will have a chance to recover between now and Wimbledon. And I was sincerely sorry about the Gamecocks’ agonizing series against the Tar Heels. It went on forever, and then you came so close. I think you will look quite handsome in purple and gold . . . and you still have a team to pull for at the College World Series!

Yes, we remember our promise to wear purple and gold so we are getting Pretty to shop for us!! RRR…ruff ruff…we get it and LOVE it, Miss Harper Lee! So the Gamecocks are staying home this year. I regret to say that as with most things in life, your mistakes come back to bite you in the butt. Too many mistakes = no trip to Omaha. 😦 Go Tigers!!

Snazzy shorts. Those Spaniards know how to make a statement. I was wondering about the canine obsession with tennis, and was going to ask about tennis balls – and, there it is. Tell Slow that London is only a hop over the pond, and Wimbledon in the summer is…never mind.

Wimbledon, you say? Pretty has always dreamed of hopping over the pond…Slow needs to find a way to get her there!

How are they in a two-seater kayak? If Eskimos can use them to chase down a Narwal in the Wicker Sea, you can certainly corner a Nadal at Wimbledon.

You ain’t right. Pretty would be so excited to try! I told her you suggested a trip to Wimbledon might be good mojo medicine but we might try for another day…when our ship comes in.
