Weekend Sports
Base10 is watching the Mets play Atlanta and--hold your breath--they're winning! Well that can't last. To think that they can't turn this into a loss just sells the team short, you know?

In any event, this is a great weekend in sports, at least in the NYC area. First, lest's get baseball over with. The Mets battle Atlanta tonight and over the weekend at 1PM. Of course you have to be a die-hard fan to tune in. The Yankees, our uptown cusins, play Toronto this weekend in a tight pennant race.

In college football action, there are some great games tomorrow. First, last night Texas Christian University defeated the Urban Meyer-less Utah Utes and ending their eighteen game winning streak. As Gregg Easterbrook would say, it is just not fair that an Indian tribe has to play an entire denomination. Unfairness aside, TCU looked pretty good. After their upset victory against highly ranked Oklahoma in the opener, they lost to Southern Methodist. Base10 predicts they will be ranked within the next week or two.

In NCAAF action tomorrow, the Irish play Michigan State. Can Notre Dame continue their good fortune? We'll see as 2:30PM. In other matchups, there are quite few matchups betwee ranked teams. At 3:30 Miami plays Clemson in a game with ACC implications and plenty of bad blood. In prime time, 8th ranked Florida State plays at 17th ranked Boston College in BC's ACC debut. Finally, in what is likely the college game of the week, no. 5 Tennessee playes the no 6. Urban Meyer-equipt Florida team at 8PM. Base10 will make it point to catch that one.

In the NFL, Base10's beloved Jets will try to get some redemption against the Miami Dolphins at 4PM on Sunday. Click here for a preview. Our crosstown cousins, the New York Giants play in an add-on game Monday night against the Saints starting at 7:30. Other games of note include a resurgent Bengals squad is facing Minnesota and Buffalo faces its first real test against a tough Tampa Bay team.

In other sports, if you're a Nascar fan, the Chase for the Nextel Cup starts this weekend at Sunday's Sylvania 300. Enjoy sports fans!
