Well, the St. Louis Cardinals have qualified to lose the World Series to Detroit. Seriously, I can't see the Cardinals winning more than 2 games, probably only 1, but I can also envision them being swept. The one thing Detroit has going for it is that when they play in St. Louis, they aren't going to be hurt too much by having to give up the DH. If you look at their lineup, all of the players who do any damage are regular positin players.
Anyway, how about that catch by Endy Chavez. Best catch I've ever seen.
Also, Go Dores! Beat those Cocks!

I swear to God I'm going to pistol whip the next guy who says, " Shenanigans."
Just some random ramblings:
- Vanderbilt beat #15 Georgia 24-22 IN ATHENS. This is the first SEC road win against a ranked team in... well, no one can seem to find out when this actually happened before. It might have been the first time ever.
Great performances in the game all around. The V-Unit shut down the Georgia running game and turned them into a one dimensional team. Ryan Hamilton forced a fumble and made a game saving tackle. Sean Walker made 2 huges grabs- a long TD grab and a 4th and 5 reception on the final drive. Chris Johnson used the hit stick on kickoff coverage again, but, unfortunately, it cost Thomas Brown his season. Earl Bennett continued to be Earl Bennett. The O-Line stepped up with the losses of Brian Stamper and Josh Eames- both of those guys are likely done for the season and hopefully Stamper can get a medical redshirt.
Chris Nickson also showed great poise. He made two absolutely terrible throws, but he also showed some big cajones in leading the comeback. He could have let the interceptions destroy his confidence, but he didn't. I honestly don't believe that Jay Cutler would have won this game his sophomore year, but Chris Nickson did.
In the last year, VU has beaten Tennessee and Georgia on their home field, and came one horrible officiating crew away from doing the same against Florida in the swamp.- Rick Louimet, if I ever see you in person, I am punching you in the balls for costing us the Florida and Arkansas games.
-I lost $20 because the Bengals lost to the Bucs. I don't know what the deal is with the Bengals, but they better get there act in gear. They have an absolutely brutal schedule coming up and it could get ugly. Hopefully they get Brian Simmons, Dexter Jackson, Rich Braham, and Levi Jones back ASAP. The running game hasn't gotten on track and Palmer has looked rattled.
-Louisville better get their act together as well. Any team with national championship aspirations doesn't give Cincinnati the chance to win the game on the last play. They better figure it out soon because Pat White and Steve Slaton had about 400 yards rushing combined on Saturday. Hopefully it was just rust for Brohm, but losing Zach Anderson at DE really hurts.
-North Korea was sanctioned by the UN. Great, all we need to do is piss off Kim Jong Il even more. This is only going to hurt the citizens of one of the most isolated countries in the world. Also, as someone recently pointed out to me, have you ever met or heard of a famous North Korean (besides their dictator with the Napoleon complex) ? They seem to destroy the idea of six degrees of separation all together.
That's all I can think of right now. I'm going to bed and sleeping in because my morning class was cancelled.
P.S. Who ya with? VU!!!

Awesome news for the alma mater and the Economics Department as Muhammad Yunus won the Nobel Peace Prize.

You're so wise. You're like a miniature Buddha, covered with hair.
Had an eventful day yesterday:
-Woke up at 5:00 am on a Saturday for a Golf Scramble that was supposed to shotgun at 8:00.
-Scramble actually started at 9:00, so I was pumped about that.
-My team played pretty horribly, but collectively, we ham and egged it pretty good and took 3rd place. We won a bunch of Brewers stuff, the best of which was a Robin Yount bobblehead doll. It comes complete with big, bushy 'stache and all.
-Listened to Vanderbilt choke the game away against Ole Miss. We gain 400+ yards of offense, give up less than 200, and still manage to find a way to lose with 6 fumbles, 1 int, and 2 missed FGs.
This is probably the 4th most disappointing loss in my brief history as a Vandy fan. The only others I think that can best this one are:
1. Last year v. MTSU where Ted Cain has a genius idea to run several plays with Jay Cutler lined up at WR, and none of them are a WR pass.
2. Last year v. UK- the game that took any bowl hopes away. The Dores decided to take the first half off and tried to make a comeback in the 2nd, but it was not enough.
3. 2004 game v. Rutgers where we managed to blow a 24 point lead in the 4th quarter, and this was back when Rutgers was still Rutgers.
Yesterday, we were a favorite in a road game for the first time in forever, but we managed to choke it away. The only saving grace was I had The Fray concert to look forward to. Fortuneately, the concert venue is literally right across the street from me, so I didn't have to worry about getting lost in Milwaukee or paying for parking or any of that other fun stuff.
The concert was pretty sweet, especially if you forget the fat, ugly chick with the frizzy hair that kept bumping into me. Some band named Aqualung opened for the Fray and played about a 45 min. set and were alright, but mostly it sounded like a Brit whining into a microphone.
The Fray played everything you'd expect. They didn't do "Over My Head" until the end, and then acted like it was their final song, and all of the girls around me were pissed because they hadn't played 'How To Save A Life" yet. Then they came back out for an encore and played 2 more songs, the final of which was How To Save A Life. I was laughing in my head when they pretended to finish with Over My Head because I heard them playing "How To Save A Life" during the afternoon sound check, so I knew this was coming.
Overall, a good day, and now I have to work on my homework for tomorrow.

In the Words of Veronica Corningstone, "Take me to Pleasure Town"
If this UK fan gets this excited over a single catch, imagine what he'd do if UK could actually beat U of L.
