Dodgers

It's Saturday morning and the Dawgs are facing a bye week, Ohio State is facing Meeechigan and JoePa is trying to earn a trip to sunny California. Looking for some insight ...... or just a reason to laugh. Look no further my friend. Prepare to scroll and please pass the hot chocolate. Ohio State leads Rodriguez to grimmace. But don't believe the rumors that he calls in sick. Rich shows up and even calls a play or two that lead to a TD. Problem is the Buckeyes score more. A LOT more.Clemson is away in Charlottesville, but there is nothing cavalier about their attitude today. They touch that rock Dabo style. Uva keeps it close but Harper hits Kelly early and then late to keep the Tigers thankful for a win before Darth Visor visits.JoePa's Nittany Lions take on Michigan State for a chance to earn a Rose Bowl berth. The Spartans have one of the best backs in college football, but I think Penn State takes care of business at home.Oregon State can keep the dream alive in the Tucson desert. 'Zona keeps this one close before the Rodgers brothers take over. Dam! Beavers are still ahead of the mighty trojans....Tennessee visits Vandy. The vOwels were a dark horse in the SEC East in the preseason. Now they're just a dead horse. Philmer falters with a team that is clearly not fighting for him.Houston Nutt returns to Death Valley where he thought he had put a fork in the Tigers hopes of a National Championship last season. Problem was those kitties had more than nine lives. This year Nutt has a new team, but the result is the same. Rebels are better than Troy. They can play for 60 minutes.Arkansas at Missy State - if you're reading this one, seek help. I'm picking State just because I like Croom....and Petrino's a dork.North Carolina State heads to Chapel Hill to try and put a dent in what has been a shiny season for Butch's Tar Heels. I think this one will be closer than many think. But UNC makes the wolfpack howl in the end.UGA vs. the Bye - we won the last matchup back in early October. The bye came out steaming mad, but the Dawgs recovered nicely and I think this one goes the same way. Take a deep breath Dawgs, the bees are buzzin'.Citadel goes into the Swamp and many are predicting a blowout. I agree! This one's over by halftime. Citadel 74, gators 3.The Big 12 matchup of the week should only take 5 and a half hours to play. Texas Tech takes their future former head coach Mike Leach to Oklahoma and yes they are still #2. I personally would love to see Texas Tech meet Bama for the BCS. Trendy offense with all the flash and sparkle. Versus traditional power that prides itself on smash-mouth. But Oklahoma makes a statement tonight. Boomer-Sooner in a close one.

He still found a way to limit the Dodgers to only one run on 4 hits over 8 grueling innings with men on base constantly.

It is easy to pitch when you have your best stuff, but when you have an umpire with a tight albeit according to K-Zone accurate strike zone and you feel you are being squeezed, it makes it that much tougher.   When Zambrano left after 8, the Cubs trailed in the ballgame by a 1-0 score and they managed to score the tying run off Saito, one of the better closers in the National League.   This setup the Cubs 9th inning where Geovany Soto lofted a flyball sacrifice fly to tie the game at 1 and send it to extra innings.   The Cubs held the

Today the Cubs go for a sweep against the Dodgers at home with Carlos Zambrano on the bump.  They also have the Best record in the National League with a handful of teams right there as well.  What is alarming is the Cubs 21-8 record at home during very cold months in April and May.  Impressive for them.  They are in dire need to improve on the road at 10-13.  Divisional rivals St. Louis and Houston are hanging around, much to the disgust of Cub fans.  The Cards and Astros are a combined 28-26 on the road, and truly a thorn in our side.
