Well at Least the Nats Won and a Back Workout

Yesterday was a really big sports day and all of the participants I was pulling for lost... except for the Washington Nationals who pulled off a 1-0 win behind Gio Gonzalez's great pitching. Ocho Ocho Ocho finished 14th in the Kentucky Derby (Had to root for this horse because of the dog...), Manny Pacquiao lost to Mayweather in a rather dull fight that I am glad I didn't spend $100 on, the Caps lost in game 2 to the Rangers and the Spurs lost to the Clippers in game seven to be eliminated from the NBA playoffs. Well, today is a new day!!

Today's quote is from Theodore Roosevelt:

"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
