This was the first heading I saw on the ESPN scroll this morning. I have no idea what it means (Apparently it was a race horse). It was a strange way to start what could be such a euphoric day.
Last night the Rex Sox pounded out 10 runs on 15 hits for a huge win over Colorado to take a 3-0 lead in the World Series. My thoughts, before Mike Lupica just ripped them off on a national TV, were that Game Three was a microcosm of the entire Red Sox season. They got out to a huge lead, excitement for Dice K rose with every strikeout, the Rockies offense came to life and cut the lead to one, then the Sox (Spurred on my rookies Dustin Pedroia and Jacoby Ellsbury ) tacked on four runs late to put the game out of reach. Tonight the Sox and Rockies each send out pitchers with incredible back stories that has all making of a story book ending. It would be wonderful if Lester can shine as pitch lights out. It hasn’t happened this year, so I am not holding my breath. I have been impressed by aspects of the Rockies bullpen, especially the resurgent Matt Herges. who is apparently seeking to be overtake Paul Byrd as HGH player of the year. I think the Rockies may have the edge tonight as they try to save face. However, I said the same thing three ago, then Johnny Damon led off Game Four with a homer.
Sox fans…Prepare for Glory….
Oh yeah, the 7-0 New England Patriots play the Washington Redskins at 4:15. I love the match up, mainly because the ‘Skins secondary is strong, and should provide a real test to God’s passer rating. There may actually be real pressure on Lawrence Maroney and the Pats D to perform up to expectations. What a novel concept. It has trap game written all over it, except when you remember Belichek is the coach and God is the QB. Look for big Vince to get at least one sack on Jason Campbell. All world Richard Seymour is back, albeit in limited duty. Overall, I’m excited.
Reports out this morning have the Lakers ad Bulls talking about a deal that would send Kobe Bryant to the Bulls. Phil Jackson is pissed. Kobe will never be Jordan. I do not think this turns out well for either team or the Black Mamba. Any chance Danny Ainge can get in on this?
The UConn Football Huskies victory over USF at the Rench was huge. The fact this means UConn will be catapulted up the BCS standings is amazing. Words cannot quantify this situation. Next up, Rutgers on Saturday night. U-ConNNN!
As long as no dead presidents are euthanized this week, it should be all about euphoria and celebration.
