Arizona Fans Are Ridiculous

Anytime people start throwing stuff on the the field it is an embarrassment. I am glad the Rockies left the field. Whether they thought the call was right or wrong it gives them no right to put players in harms way. I hope the Arizona fans pointed out the people doing it and they don't get to come back. They do not deserve to go to another game. Thats just my opinion I welcome yours.

Boston Red Sox Vs. New York Yankees Game 1

For some reason I am still awake watching the Red Sox, Yankees game with the Yankees in the lead 9 to 3 in the 8th. Of course what keeps me awake is always the possibility of my Red Sox coming back and winning. Everytime I go to bed early they storm back, so maybe I should go to bed. Anyway Torre gets ejected with a 9 to 3 lead. You would he would have saved it for one of there losses to try to motivate them somehow. Don't get me wrong I am a Yankee hater and love to see them 13.5 games behind. I do in some way feel bad for Joe Torre as he will be the fall guy if this continues. You know years ago Steinbrenner would have fired him a long time ago. I guess he has chilled out a little bit in his old age. Well anyway this game is going on forever past the 3 hour mark in the top of the 8th. Hopefully it ends soon, so we can move on to tomorrow. See you all soon.

Where Did Those Houston Astros Come From Again

The Houston Astros are trying to do it again. Can you imaging they are only behind the Cardinals by a half of a game. Now yes it took the Cardinals to colapse, but we write this Astros team off every year and they make a big run. Imagine if these Houston Astros could ever play a first half of a year. They would win divisions going away. I think they like these close races. Makes for great television. Not that anyone has shown a game from this race. As compelling as this race has been we have to wait for highlights, or just the box score. I can't believe that ESPN can not make room for one of these games. Oh well at least there is a great race going on. Just wish I could see it.

Sports news

Mets clinch the National league eastern division title. It’s been 18 years of frustration to get to this point. Of course the best part is they did it at home and that’s always a plus out front of the home crowd.
Now they continue to play and stay in shape and mindset for the playoffs, it will be a tuff road.
I watched the Monday night football game last and I must say the Jaguars really took it to Pittsburgh but I found the game boring. I guess they did score after I went to bed and that’s good. But it ended up being one of the lowest scores for a Monday night football game.
Ben Roethlisberger should have stayed out another week. As he left the field at the end of the game he was like a wounded duck. He took to many hits and told the coaches he would be ok which he wasn’t.

That's it from here on this Tuesday the 19!!!

Sports roundup for weekend of 17 and 18

Yesterday was a very nice day at Loudon New Hampshire for the first race to the chase in Nascar. It was warm and we did a lot of walking around the trailers and the track but it was fun. It was very sunny and we could not pick up a cloud all day.
When we go in the summer, which was much hotter this year then yesterday, we go with the whole family. We cook and play games and chat it is a good time and we not leave until 8pm.Yesterday the traffic starting moving around 6:30 and we tried to head out. Which took us some time to hit the main road about 45 minutes.
Its unreal how many people go racing and how much money people spend on a race weekend. When you go around those trailers where they sell items from all the different drivers you cannot hardly make it through that area there are so many people$$$
.
I thought it was a good race even thought Harvick pretty much ran away from the pack leading 196 laps. Early on I thought he was done for when he tried to spit two cars to get by them. But he made it and could not be caught after that. The top five where: Harvick, Stewart, Gordon, Hamlin and Vickers.
I guess there were some issues after the race on his car and his teammates car going through post race checks. But they were given warnings and told it better not happen again. So it was a good start for this Childress team in the chase but we still have nine more races to go.
Unlike the Hendrix team which had two cars that were in the bottom of the standings at the end of the day. Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch could not catch and were pretty much out of it early.
Next weeks race #2 will be at Dover and we will see what happens to the standings at that point.

Well here in Portland Maine there is big news in Sports the Red Sox affiliate has won the eastern league baseball championship. It was a five game series and the dogs won in the fifth and deciding game to beat Akron by a score of 8-5…..Good job Sea Dogs!!!! Are these players the future of the Sox maybe if they don’t trade them away?

Dallas cowboys were 27-10 winners over Washington but lost Terrell Owens for 3 to 4 weeks. At least this comes as the cowboys go into a bye week.

Red Sox take the 3 out of 4 from the Yankees but not much hope for playoffs. They took two on Sunday, which has not happen in thirty years. Magic number for the Yankees is 3 and they will not reach that number while their playing the Sox this year.

Well that’s sports for now!
