Bittersweet Sports Weekend

This weekend was a tale of two sports Baseball=Good and Football=Bad.

Football - Sat night was terrible, and I am sure you know why. Is it too much to ask our 6'2" and 6'0' corners to cover two 6'6" tight ends who run like the wind, have soft hands, and a quarterback on fire? Surely it is Cosgrove's fault (this comment is only a little tounge in cheek). But really something does have to be done. Sunday wasn't any better as both the Saints and Seahawks lost. Hopefully the tide is turning for these teams.

Baseball - What a great weekend. The Red Sox swept their series with the Angels and are going to the ALCS. And there is only one thing that approaches a Red Sox win, and that is a Yankees lost. It was a beautiful thing tonight to watch them lose and get knocked out of the post-season. I also feel a great off season coming with Steinbrener already making threats. I would love to see them losing Torre, Posada, A-Rod, Rivera and Clemens. The primary reason a boy from Grand Island became a Red Sox fan was because of the Rocket and it pains me to see him in pinstripes. Some might say that they have a lot of young talent, and that is true, but so did some of those teams that Mattingly was a part of in the Eighties. Lets hope he brings that same attitiude with him.

Go Sox!
