For the 16th time in 17 season the New York Yankees Baseball team will be headed to the post-season. The Yankees secured the AL East Title with a 4-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays last night in Yankee Stadium. I must say this, the post-season is that much better when the Yankees are involved. Having the possibility of the Yankees and Red Sox playing in the post-season makes things that much more interesting. Without them, I think October loses its luster:
The New York Yankees relief pitcher Mariano Rivera recorded save number 602 yesterday against the Minnesota Twins. After 17 seasons with the same team and the same pitch, Rivera has reached a milestone that may never be touched. It is fitting though because at his finest he is nearly un-touchable. As a Red Sox fan I have seen him work at his best and also his worst. Without him on the mound the Sox and Yankees series would not be what it is today in this day and age:
The Oklahoma Sooners defeated the Florida State Seminoles 23-13 in order to stay atop the AP Poll. The Sooners were able to answer Florida State’s touchdown with 9:32 left in the 4th quarter to tie the game at 13. Landry Jones (Oklahoma) was able to hook up with Kenny Stills (125 yards, 1 TD) for a 83 yard touchdown pass on the ensuing drive. The Sooners would also add a late field goal to seal the victory:
First Tom Brady had his commercial with Ugg’s air during Monday Night Football against the Dolphins. Then Brady “aired” out the football against the Dolphins throwing for 517 yards and 4 touchdowns on way to a 38-24 victory. I think it is safe to say that last night he was in the zone:
Studs: I think anytime a player throws for 5 touchdowns no matter the opponent they should be the top performer. That is why I am going to go with Arizona Quarterback Nick Foles. Not only did he throw for 5 touchdowns but he also had 412 passing yards to boot. That’s doing something, I don’t care who you play.
