We got a series on our hands now

The World Series is getting interesting now. The Rangers went back home and won game 3. So far, the great pitching of the Giants has looked like it's too much for the Rangers to handle. It's not just their starting pitching, but the Giants bullpen aint bad either. Ironically, their famous and amusingly interesting closer, Brian Wilson, might be the weakest link of that bullpen. The Rangers on the other hand have a rather shaky bullpen and they seemed too dependent on Cliff Lee when the series started. The Giants got Lee out of game 1 pretty early and rather easily. Of course Lincecum was not great either, but the Giants didn't care since they won. Cain was spectacular in game 2 as he shut fools down. The game was close until the texas bullpen started spraying the ball all over the place. Walk after walk meant a hit here or there was going to score 2 or 3 runs and thats exactly what happened. But now, if they win tomorrow, this series becomes fascinatingly close. Tommy Hunter versus Bumgarner should be interesting to watch.

In football, Auburn survived the curse of the first seed as they went on the road and beat Ole Miss to stay at the top. Oregon crushed USC to stay undefeated. Two more undefeated teams lost today - Missouri and Michigan State. Both got embarrassed and thats good news for one loss teams like Alabama. BCS is a mess now and will be a different mess by the time it's all said and done. I guess thats what we like about College football - at least thats what we are told. ASU won 42-0 against Washington. Thats neither here nor there. A dominant scoreboard from a team that has looked anything but lately. To be fair to the Devils, they did play Oregon pretty close early in the season, may be before Oregon fond itself. Lets see if Oregon can punch this one in and take it all the way home for Pac-10.

In the NFL, it's all about Brett Favre. Dude is definitely hurt and probably should sit down, but won't because of his streak. Childress and Favre are talking like they both are in different planets. I have a feeling this is going to end real bad in all fronts. I think Favre starts tomorrow, loses, probably gets hurt more and loses his continuous streak next week. Chilly threw Favre under the bus last week after Favre repeatedly threw the ball into the chest of Packer defenders. Since then they have been going back and forth and this is going to get a lot worse before Chilly gets fired and Favre retires end if the year. NBA is on and apparently the Heat games are getting amazing ratings. The Suns are 1-2, but have looked good so far. The schedule is brutal, but I am surprised how fluid they look.
