An Off Night for Some Number 1's

A little pre-NBA Finals baseball tonight, and it appears some of the aces are not quite on their game. Burnett gives up 5 to the Red Sox, Santana gives up back-to-back jacks to Howard and Ibanez (who appears to be an 87-year old stud), and Carpenter does not look sharp against the Marlins (who have all of five people in Joe Robbie...er...Dolphins...er....Land Shark Stadium). Let's hope this doesn't bode poorly for Thunder Thighs going for win number 8 and the Lakers going for win number 3!

Omaha..Somewhere in Middle America

Wow! Who would have thought this team would be back in Omaha and ranked number 1 in the country when we were being swept by Kansas?

Its great to be back in the CWS, one of the most underappreciated sporting events in the country, in my opinion. And this team has the look of a team of destiny, finding ways to win no matter what else is going on with the offense (read: dead bats). Unfortunately, destiny has a way of losing out to good starting pitching, or, in our case, mediocre starting pitching. I am not optimistic that our anemic offense can keep this up for the course of the next two weeks given the staffs that we are going to be facing.

But hey, at the very least the baseball team has shortened the wait until football season starts!
