Wide World Of Sports

Today was a good day in my mind in the world of sports. We went to the covenant soccer game and what in the first half looked like a game that was going to put me to sleep but then they turned it out and won 3 to zip. Covenant has played well this year considering they lost their two best forwards to torn acls. It is evident when watching the games that they just don't have the offensive power they had last year. Their defense is strong but without the offense you can't win all your games.
Another reason for the good sports day. The Cubs won. I have a lot of relatives in Chicago and have spent many of my summers there and consider it sometimes my home away from home and so have a special place in my heart for the cubs. Plus the cubs are showing the tenacity and spirit it takes to win championships, something cardinals have never seem to capture the past few years. So I'm all for the cubs going the distance.

Another reason for it being a good sports day just look at the scores of the College Football games. Georgia creamed TN and I really don't like either team much but TN fans can be some of the cockiest fans at times for no good reason. They walked into Auburn thinking it'd be a breeze, so much for that idea. OK state beat Kansas ST, which isn't that big of a deal but I don't like K-state so thats cool. Auburn beat Arkansas which isn't that big of deal either but I love the underdogs and I also hate Arkansas because thats the state where Clinton came from so i figure if they gave us Clinton than their can't be much worth in the state. Good Ole Mizzou beat the evil empire of Nebraska although it looked like they weren't going to get their game on. So a lot of underdogs won which makes me happy it makes the rankings more interesting.
Unfortunatley the Yankees won which i think was inevitable. I don't know if the Sox have what it takes to pull it off they seem too crazy evident by todays game of insanity. Got to respect Don Zimmer taking on Pedro, too bad the old man got tossed out like yesterdays garbage. Well tomorrow brings the day of rest. And i plan on resting.
