The Countdown Begins ...

• The Celtics were rather convincing. • The Beijing kids are back. • Well played, Mets, totally. • Oak! • Tiger wins, and then he's done. • Jemele Hill will sit a few plays out. • We thought Drew's column was dead-on this week. • Hank Steinbrenner, visionary. • Lance Armstrong is not always friendly.

All right, kids: Just one more week of our drivel left. Unsilent Majority is your weekend boss. We'll be back, all heavy-hearted, on Monday. We'll try not to get beaten up at Fenway tomorrow.
