October thoughts

A-Rod and Matsui are so cold right now, they'd strike out at a Viking's booze cruise.

Whatever happened to the "wife" shot in baseball telecasts? One of the many perks to being a pro athlete is you're supposed to marry above your level, a la Phil Mickelson, Jeff Gordon, Randy Johnson (no idea what his wife looks like, but c'mon, this 6' 10" guy with the mullet and pockmarked face somehow managed to get married!). Show us the wife section, dammit. We saw Jeter's parents a dozen times. I know Derek isn't married, but he has dated Mariah Carey, Jessica Alba and a Ms. Universe! Give us a peek, would ya, Fox?

Irony: Joe Torre starts Bubba Crosby in center field because he is a defensive upgrade from Bernie Williams. Had Bernie played, the old geezer NEVER would have gotten to the fly ball in right center that caused the crash between Sheffield and Crosby and the Yanks would have escaped the inning down two runs less. Doh!

The #1 ranked Southern Cal (they hate that) Trojans invade Notre Dame Stadium this weekend to put their 27-game winning streak on the line against the Irish. As the saying goes, "No one leaves Notre Dame #1." For the "investors" out there, the Irish + 11.5 is looking very good.

If forced, would you rather watch a World Cup soccer game or a WNBA game? Oh, and Sue Bird is not playing in the hoop game.

Your Yanks shit the bed in the playoffs,.. so you need to throw the Vikes under the bus? I expect better from you. How hard is it to make a Vikes joke these days? Reach a little Jaimi,.. show some effort.
