Game 1 to San Fran!
In a game that had 12 pitchers and 18 runs combined, the Giants thrashed the Rangers to take an 1-0 lead in the 2010 World Series! After going up 2-0 by the second inning I think we all thought Cliff Lee would go on his usual auto-pilot and have no problem taking game one. However after he hit a double in the 2nd inning, nothing would go right for him after that. He was pulled after 5 innings giving up 8 hits and 6 runs. Not at all what we expected to see. I mean come on who would have thought a game started by Lee and Lincecum would end with an 11-7 score! Either way it was a great start to what should be a great World Series! Game 2 starts right now! Updates to come...

A good hard fight for the Keg of Nails! Louisville 27 Cincy 35!
Well unfortunately our Cards lose another game on the year to drop us to 3-3 on the year, right at .500. You could look at this as a negative or you can look at it like me and think about how much better we are compared to the past 3 years! We look like a confident and well ran winning team now! Even though it would have been amazing to take back the "keg of nails" at least we now know for sure our team is back on track! We are finally lighting up the scoreboard like a traditional Cardinal team! Our running game is amazing thanks to Balil Powell who had 209 yards and 2 TDs! Adam Froman has settled in and is starting to become much more accurate and seems pretty comfortable in there now! A loss is never a good thing but I think we can take a lot of positive away from this one and use the motivation/momentum towards next weeks match up. Stay Strong! Go Cards!
Yankees take game 1, really???
On a night when President Nolan Ryan threw out the first pitch, a perfect fast ball I must say, the Rangers who were up 5-0 in the 7th let an easy win slip away in the 8th. After a 3 run blast from Josh Hamilton in the bottom of the 1st I was loving watching C. C. Sabathia melt down that early in the game. After adding 2 more runs I thought, wow the Rangers are gonna take this first game of the series and put themselves in great shape going into game 2. However deep down I knew that it was the Yankees who you can never count out and the next thing you know it was the 8th inning. Talk about falling apart! After C.J. Wilson, who pitched great for 7 innings, was pulled the meltdown/come-back begun. Once the Yankees grabbed a 6-5 lead in the 8th I knew it was a done deal and couldn't be any more mad! The Rangers are the only team left that I don't hate so you can imagine how hard I'm pulling for them! Game 2 starts now, update to follow! Go Rangers!

The Road to the World Series!!!
For those of you know me, you can imagine how bummed I am with which teams remain in the playoffs this year. A quick rundown of this would be as follows: I have never in my life liked the Yankees, I hate the Phillies because their fans are awful and they knocked the Dodgers out of the playoffs the past 2 years, and I hate the Giants for obvious reasons. However I realized last night that I was complaining way too much. As a MLB fan I have no right to bitch and moan about what will turn out to be some amazing baseball series. Plus I can pull for the Rangers and Nolan Ryan, haha! So with that being said lets have some playoff fun and enjoy what we've been left with(even if it is the evil empires against each other). Below is a list of the games!

Too Many Injuries...
Wow I had a feeling something like this would happen coming into a season where my Green Bay Packers were on everyone's super bowl watch list but DANG! Even at the start of this season the Packers had some defensive players who were injured but through the first 5 weeks of the 2010 season it's clear that for the Packers to recover and get back on track, we must either get healthier or have back-up players step up big for us. The worst of the week 5 injuries has to be TE Jermichael Fenley who is most likely out for the season with a bum knee. Not to mention QB Aaron Rodgers suffering a concussion which could keep him out at least this coming Sunday. Also our league leader in sacks, LB Clay Mathews Jr, also was hurt this past week and is unsure how much time he will miss. All of this coming after RB Ryan Grant was knocked out for the year in week 2. There are other injuries I'm leaving out but you can see where I'm coming from with my concerns for the rest of this season. We aren't quite ready to hit the panic button considering we are 3-2 and not in too bad of shape yet. However If we can't get healthy on both sides of the ball and stop getting penalized so much, it might start to get ugly. Either way I will be there pulling for the Pack just like always. Win or lose! Go Packers!
