Tampa Bay evened up the ALCS today in 11 innings. Every post-season you have several games like these which go on forever with a bagful of runs scored by either side. In other words, a typical AL game, only slower because of the playoff pace and more frequent pitching changes in the post-season. This game went on for 5 hrs and 27 mins and surprisingly, a sizable number of fans hung around. Both Josh Beckett ad Scott Kazmir were getting hit all over the park and were still allowed to hang around a little too long. The Bsoton bullpen was a lot more effective than the Rays (yes, I have to stop calling them DevilRays now that they are in the playoffs), but still the Rays pulled this one at the end 9-8. Great drama and this series just got a lot more interesting. Now it's up to the Dodgers to make a contest out of the NLCS.
In College today, Oklahama and Texas played a memorable game. Lot of scoring in this game and the Horns actually had to come back from behind in the 4-Th quarter to win this one 45-35. Great win for the Horns and it qualifies as an upset because it's 5 over 1. This set the tone for another day of upsets. Number 1, 3, 4 and 20 lost. The biggest shocker was Florida embarrassing LSU 51-21. Missouri lost to Oki State and Auburn to Arkansas as well. So Texas should be on top come Monday. The team thats moving up silently is Penn State. This could be a huge comeback year for Joe-Pa as they beat Wisconsin 48-7 today. Lets see where they end up in the polls.
