-Yanks win a pretty good game 6 and it will be Yanks-Phils in the World Series. We'll get up a preview on that soon. Is it really that intimidating to play the Yankees this year? Every game their opponents have made either a really bad error or a big base-running mistake. Again, last night the Angels made three mistakes you just can't make as a major leaguer. Vlad got doubled off first base on a routine line-out to right field, Howie Kendrick drops a ball at first base that hits him right in the glove on a bunt and Scott Kazmir makes maybe the worst throw a major leaguer has ever made in a game on the very next bunt.
The defending champion Phillies are not going to be intimidated by the Yanks. No one seems to be giving them a chance, but I don't see why. They have the lefty bats to neutralize the Yanks home-field advantage and the starting pitching might be a coin flip.
-Not much to discuss from college football, it has become quite the uneventful year. Alabama again proved to me that they are the exact same team they were last year, barely beating Tennessee. Florida escaped narrowly in a battle with former offensive coordinator Dan Mullen. Texas made the biggest statement of the week pounding a weak Missouri team. TCU crushed BYU and made themselves to appear the best non-BCS team out there (still don't think they're very good). Iowa snuck past Michigan St. but stop worrying everyone, no way does Iowa run the table, we aren't going to have to watch them in the championship game, I promise.
-The Giants season is about to crumble before our eyes. I felt strongly that the Cardinals would cover the spread and maybe win, but the Giants continue to look like the injuries are taking their toll. We will get a much better idea of who is going to win this division when we find out if Philly's loss to the Raiders was a complete aberration or serious cause for concern, because I think Philly is a top-5 team in the NFL, but I've also seen the Raiders 3 times this year - Eagles, you've got some explaining to do.

Pittsburgh and Minnesota are very good.
The Saints are very good, offensively.
Dallas is good again, and Miles Austin has become a major fantasy football sleeper.
Seriously, nothing of much surprise value happened yesterday in my opinion, so what did all of you think?

Dallas has finally found somewhat of a deep threat in Austin, and you can see the difference it makes in their offense.
ReplyDeleteI thought the Minny and Pitt game was very good. It wouldve been more interesting if Minn. couldve scored at least once at the end instead of turning it over both times.
Texas did make a statement. They only allowed 7 vs the spread offense which was a surprise to me.
I continue to discredit the SEC. Bama escaped cause college special teams allways suck, and Florida got by Mississipi. Boring!!!
And for the UFC fans, I think we all agree Shogun got screwed Sat. night. He should be the new champ, and I think he only lost 1 of the 5 rounds, but no more than 2 of them. More refs blowing it.
I'm in agreement with the SEC being overrated. The Big 12 is better top to bottom and the ACC is as well in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteACC is so underrated just because they don't have a "dominant" team. Va Tech is quite close though and while they do have a couple poor teams somehow last year didn't do enough to show people that the ACC is for real.
Big 12 has to be the best conference in football though.
