Sports Stuff

In yesterday's NY Post, Mark Cannizzaro was outright dismissive of the Jets having a five-hundred season--let alone a playoff birth. He saw the Buffalo loss as the critical one of the season. I don't agree with that, but I do think a win this weekend against Atlanta is essential. Let's hope our boys can put up a good fight on Monday night.

In baseball news, the embattled Astros finally clinched a World Series berth by beating the Cardinals 5-1. The World Series begins Saturday night. Base10 has no particular rooting interest. Both teams are very deserving. If anything, I'd like to see the a White Sox win out of a sense of nostalgia.

In hockey, the Rangers lost to the Islanders in a shootout. Base10 really wishes he knew more about hockey (and judging by the Jets playing abilities, he may get the opportunity this year) since it is such a fast moving sport. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy watching a game, but I don't really understand it. It seems sort of like soccer except it's played on ice with skate by men with big sticks and helmets.

In other baseball news, can you feel the love in the Bronx? Yankees manager Joe Torre announced that he will be back to manage the Yankees for the last two years of his contract, ending speculation that Steinbrenner was going after Lou Pinella to replace him. The fate of Yankees GM Brian Cashman however, is still open to question.

Links later, when I get to work.

UPDATE: Links are up.
