SEVEN OUT OF TEN

My St. Louis Cardinals did it again! Seven out of the last 10 years, they have advanced to the playoffs. Winning 2 pennants and one World Series title. Let the celebration begin.

Fortunately I have the MLB channel which televised a great baseball game. The Rockies under their new manager are fighting for their playoff wild card lives. The stadium was sold out. It was intense baseball. Baseball at its best. Cliche yes, but it was a shame there had to be a loser in that game. It was much like the Arizona State/Georgia football game airing on another sports channel I have, ESPN-U.

I was flipping channels so much that I missed LaRue's game deciding home run. But I did catch ASU's true freshman linebacker Burkit leap over the Bulldog O-Line and tackle the ball carrier for a loss on a short and pivotal third and one. It was also an intense game. Won by Georgia on a last second field goal after they had blocked a Sun Devil FG attempt only a few minutes earlier.

Games like those two are what make me a fan. In fact, I suppose some would say a fanatic. I have to go get ready for church now.

And after I get home, the Cardinals are on TBS, the football Cardinals are on Sunday Night Football, the Rams are on no where which means I'll be surfing for updates and our Flying Chaucers are in a dogfight for our Rotisserie League Baseball Championship. Also my fantasy football team is playing a big game today--go Drew Brees, so you see I have a busy Sunday.

I think there's a Monday Night Football Game, too. I'll have to rest up for that one.
