I got your daddy RIGHT HERE !!

It is a great day for all of us who root for the underdog, which is definitely me since I have been a San Diego Chargers fan for 20 years.
In what can only be described as the greatest post season comeback in the history of sports, the Boston Red Sox thrashed the Yankees 10-3 last night to reach the World Series for the first time since 1986, after being down 0-3 in a four game series.
I will honestly say that I called this one, saying to a friend at work that if the Sox got to Kevin Brown early, they would win the game.
There is another side to this, though. Did anyone else notice that there were NO SHOTS of Steinbrenner during the game? Could he have been huddling in the corner with his blankie? I personally think that he will go on a rampage throughout the organization and really clean house. The pitching staff for the Yanks will be completely different next year.
It will be interesting to see how history decides where to place this latest COLLAPSE. I mean, they had the Sox THREE OUTS AWAY FROM THE SWEEP and let it get away. It is, unquestionably in my mind, the single greatest choke job in the history of professional sports.
All the better that it happened to the "evil empire". Buy your way out of THIS one, boss.

Tremendous kudos to the Sox, who kept battling and never lost faith.

That's the trick. You always have to have faith in yourself and your favorite teams.

Now here's hoping that the Astros can get there, if only for my buddy Bill, who has literally waited his whole life for this opportunity.

Which leads me into the Chargers' game this week in Carolina. I think this is a potential trap game for the Bolts. They are underdogs, but most of the "expert" picks I see have them winning. The trick is Drew Brees. If he plays like he has been, the team will do well. The addition of Keenan McCardell will show immediate benefits. I like the Chargers against a tired, hurt Panthers team that will have a hard time stopping the run and the pass at the same time.
Prediction: Chargers 27, Panthers17

On the college front:
Texas-El Paso 27, Louisiana Tech 21

War Boston Red Sox, war end of the evil empire,

Keep the faith !!

GOOD NIGHT NOW !!
