Monday Musings

Happy Monday everyone! The dudettes over here are still recovering from a crazy weekend in sports, but just in case any of you missed it, here are a few of the highlights…

Mr. Derek Jeter finally got his 3,000th hit on Saturday, off of a home run at Yankees Stadium. Really could not have been more a perfect way for the shortstop to reach the milestone. Also, the fan who caught the historic hit, only to return it to Jeter? He’s been rewarded nicely for his classy deed. Great story all around.

Get ready for the MLB All-Star game this week, although don’t expect to see all your favorite players out there, 16 players have withdrawn or been declared ineligible.

Would you start a fight with Big Papi?

Congratulations to David and Victoria Beckham, who welcomed their fourth child yesterday! A baby girl named Harper Seven. Thoughts on the name?

In a surprising result, Japan defeated Germany, the defending champions, 1-0 in overtime of the quarterfinals of the Women’s World Cup. Definitely a proud moment for a country that is still recovering from the earthquake and tsunami that hit in March. They will face Sweden in the seminfinals on Wednesday.

Finally, unless you don’t have a pulse, there’s no way you haven’t yet heard about the United States’ incredible victory over Brazil yesterday. For more details, check out the great recap by mags below! Must say, I’m impressed and extremely pleased with news coverage the game has gotten – not to mention the twitter posts by celebs like LeBron James, Steve Nash, and P. Diddy, to name a few. This team definitely deserves the recognition. Get ready for the semifinals versus France on Wednesday!!
