Phillies and Mets Play For It All

After 161 games, the New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies are tied for first place in the NL East. If both win on Sunday, then the Phillies will travel to the Big Apple and play the Mets for the whole enchilada. This is playoff fever folks, what baseball is all about. The greatest part of this year’s playoffs is that its up for grabs without any clear cut favorites. One final prediction: a bench clearing incident on Saturday will drive the Mets deep into the playoffs.

Auburn Kicks Gators Where It Hurts the Most

It’s up, it’s good!!! A shocker in Gainesville, FL on Saturday, as the Florida Gators fell to the Auburn Tigers on a last second field goal by Wes Byrum. The Gators fell behind 17-3 before tying the game at 17 with 2 tds in the 4th quarter. But their comeback fell short 20-17 as their 11-game win streak was snapped by 43-yard field goal with time expiring. The Tigers contained heisman hopeful Tim Tebow for the most part of the day and made the plays when it counted. If Florida has any chance of making it to the big dance at the end of the year, they’re going to have to upset #2 LSU next week at the Bayou. Their schedule doesn’t get much easier after that with Kentucky #14, Georgia #15, and S. Carolina #16 over the next month. But with a win over LSU, their strength of schedule should make them the cream of all 1-loss teams.

USC Trojans Remain perfect With a Victory Over Pac-10 Rival Washington

On a day where we saw the reigning champion Gators fall (along with 5 other top 10 teams), the Trojans showed why they still should be considered #1. It wasn’t pretty, but the SC running game stepped it up once again to carry the team to its 4th win of the season against the Washington Huskies, 27-24. Stafon Johnson and Chauncey Washington rushed of 228 yds and 2 scores. Quarterback John David Booty was anything but Heisman-esque, with 1 td and 2 picks. To add to their woes, SC saw two of their O-lineman get injured on the same play. Ty Willingham’s Huskies fell to 2-3 and have dropped three in row after starting off the season with 2 wins. For now, the Trojans can still hold their heads up high, until they clash with Oregon that is…

Weekly Update: IRISH LOSE AGAIN

Purdue turns up the bass… OK, no puns this time, no funny titles, the Irish lost this week against the Purdue Boilermakers, home of Neil Armstrong, Amelia Earhart and of course touchdown vulture Mike Alstott. I’ve never seen a team fall from grace so quickly. I almost feel bad for the Irish and their fans, almost… A season that was filled with so promise is now a winless season. Hey, look at the bright side, at least they finally passed for a touchdown. At this point, the Irish need to accomplish 2 goals to salvage their season: 1) win a game, and 2) upset the #1 ranked Trojans.
