Mea Culpa and More

Last Saturday I posted my latest entry to this blog and I must apologize for it. I bemoaned the fact that the college football schedule didn't seem to have much going for it, and I was wrong on that one as the Alabama and Tennessee game came down to the last seconds, while Iowa barely beat Michigan State, and USC hung on to beat Oregon State. We had a few exciting finishes while the one game I thought might be a battle wasn't when TCU crushed BYU 38-7. While I was banging on college football, I should have been calling out the NFL. Sunday's games were just plain awful as 10 out of the 12 games were double digit losses, though the ten point Minnesota loss to Pittsburgh was a pretty tight game so lets say 9 of 12 stunk. If it wasn't for fantasy football I probably would have watched something else. I guess all I can hope for is a more entertaining week next week. Well the Yankees made the World Series on Sunday and in turn made me a happy man. I hate to kick a man when he is down, but I fail to understand Mike Scioscia bringing Scott Kazmir and not Jered Weaver right away. One thing about starters coming out of the bullpen is you don't know how they will react, obviously Kazmir did not react well, while that question had already been answered with Weaver and his performance in game five. Some might say the two runs that the Angels let up in the eighth didn't matter and I say it was much more comfortable as a just a fan to have a three run lead I can't imagine what it meant to the Yankees themselves.
