Monday Night

Steelers 27 @ Broncos 13 (Steelers show that they along with the Patriots are the Class of the AFC)

Rambling thoughts of a Nutball (World Series and Other Stuff.

The New York Yankees won the 2009 World Series Thus Closing out the 00's Decade!

So now who is the team of the Decade, There are 2 Contenders who won 2 Tittles each

The New York Yankees (2000, 2009)

The Boston Red Sox (2004,2007)

That is it, Not even 1 other team that deserves a Bronze Medal

So who wins it?

Red Sox 2 WS Champs --Yankees 2 WS Champs EVEN Red Sox in 4 ALCS---Yankees in 5 ALCS Advantage Yankees 1 Point Yankees Red Sox in Playoffs 6 times---Yankees in Playoffs 9 times Advantage Yankees 2 Points Yankees Red Sox vs Yankees in Playoffs 1-1 But Big edge to Red Sox for 2004. 2 Points Red Sox Red Sox 1 Division Tittle--Yankees 8 Division Tittle Advantage Yankees 4 Points Points are my Award.. Yankees 7 to 2 Edge, Give the Red Sox 4.5 Points for Comeback. Final Score Yankees 7 Red Sox 6.5 Yankees Win!!!! Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankees Win!! Other World Series Notes-- I missed my pick by 1 game, I had the Yankees in 7 The Phillies What a series for Chase Utley of the Phillies and a GREAT effort for Cliff Lee What a horrible series at bat for Ryan Howard, Cole Hamels imploded and Brad Lidge continued his meltdown at the worst times as he had all of 2009 For the Yankees, The Bad, Phil Hughes, Jorge Posada struggled but got a couple of big hits Mark Texiera had a rough time but got a Couple of Huge Hits and was a Game saver in the field A J Burnett Game 5 The Good AJ Burnett Game 2 Andy Pettite fought his way through both games CC Was just OK but was so gritty and found a way to win Game 4 Derek Jeter shows why he is the Captain, Just puts out terrific efforts all the time Johny Damon made the play of the series (Maybe one of the Top 10 WS Plays of all time) With the stealing of 2nd base and seeing no one at 3rd base and taking that base too That changed the way Brad Lidge pitched and after hitting Mark Texiera A-Rod got one of several Big Hits throughout the Playoffs Hideki Matsui in Limited play had Huge hits that changed the games in Game 2,3 and 6. He is a deserving MVP Mariano Rivera had maybe his best Postseason in his career at age 39 (Close to 40) NFL What has happened to the Giants? T.O is back with the Cowboys in the body of Roy Williams, But the difference is Williams sucks and does not give an effort that T.O would give The Paper Airplanes Play well on Offense and defense but has one of the worst Special Team days in NFL History The Lions continue to show how bad they are. The Rams found a way to win and In the long run Hiring Steve Spagnuolo will prove to be a great move The Raider are a mess with a coach who is being investigated as a Abuser of Woman. How can the NFL allow this guy to continue to coach with this cloud over him. (The Players Union will use this as another example that Management can cheat and break the law and continue to operate "Business as Usual" But if a Player goes 35.1 MPH in a 35MPH Speed zone he will be gone for 8 games Then there is the Cleveland Browns, Has to be the most inept Management in Sports History They make Senile Al Davis, Daniel Snyder, and Donald Stirling (LA Clippers) look like Geniuses

Last Week--(7-6) Ugggh

Season---(71-32)

Broncos--23 at Ravens--27 (Time for reality to catch up to the Broncos)

Texans--24 at Bills---6 (Texans better than many think, Bills are worst than some think)

Browns--6 at Bears--23 (Cleveland woes continue)

Seahawks--10 at Cowboys--27 (Cowboys will look good for at least this week)

Giants--20 at Eagles--13 (The 1st half of a long bad day for Philly vs New York)

Raiders--3 at Chargers--30 (Raiders make most teams "Except for those losers in Philly" look great

Jaguars--13 at Titans 24 (Vince Young along with a Up and Down Jag teams make the Titans look like the team we expected)

Panthers--10 at Cardinals--27 (Jake Delhomme Continues his "Great" play and shows that John Fox is the Sharpest Knife in the Drawer)

Vikings--23 at Packers--31 (Aaron Rogers shows that The Packers made the right decision for the long run)

Monday Night

Falcons--17 at Saints--24 (Saints keep it going for one more week)

Rambling thoughts of a Nutball (Quickie Edition)

Baseball

Yankees vs Phiilies World Series,

Going with my Heart (Yankees in 7)

But for the Yankees to win they must hit better with RISP. and get better bullpen play out of Joba and Hughes.

And if Girardi puts Matsui (as Rumored) in the field he should be fired on the spot.

Phillies need Pedro and Cole Hammels to come through.

The other key is not to make dumb mistakes, That cost the Angels and Twins vs the Yankees.

NFL

Even though they have 2 wins each, Are there 2 worst teams along with the Yucs, and Rams worst in Sports History than the Redskins and Raiders.

This may be the worst year in Sports history to have so many very bad teams,

I think that last years Lions and the 1976 Bucs can beat this team, and for the 176 Bucs to beat these teams is pretty amazing figuring most of those guys are about 76 Years old now.

As far as the Good, Who Dat Saints, (Some Comeback against the Mahi-Mahi's)

The Colts always looks good this time of year.

And do not forget the Patriots, They just keep on going and going. I still think it will be a Steeler/Patriot AFC Championship game, with the winner easily wining the Super Bowl

NBA.

The Celtics are old and has problems with guys like Baby Davis and Rondo who seems to go off the program and I do not know if Garnett and Ray Allen can stay healthy for the entire season

The Cavs are relying on a aged Shaq O.Niell to help Labron James, and the Magic have messed with the Chemistry. IF the Magic personal changes work (Vince Carter) and losing Guys like Courtney Lee and Rafer Alston and the additions to replace them they can come out of the East, But I think it will backfire and it will be a difficult season for D-12 (Dwight Howard)

Someone has to come out of the East, I say it will be the Cavs.

The West has the Lakers and Spurs, The Spurs are old but very deep. The Lakers have proven themselves but they lost Trevor Ariza who does so many little things, But if Ron Artest is focused and the Lakers stay healthy they are the team to beat.

My Pick is Kobe Bryant gets the ultimate satisfaction and The Lakers win over the Cleveland Cavaliers (With Shaq and Labron) in 6 games.

How to make Don Mattingly a Legendary Yankee Of All Time

Just saw this on Paul Francis Sullivan's Terrific Blog Sully Baseball


http://sullybaseball.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-will-this-world-series-have-in.html

Here is what he had to say. (Well Done Sully)


What will this World Series have in common with every other World Series EVER?
Don Mattingly won't be involved in it.
I wrote a post last year about Mattingly's astonishingly bad luck in terms of getting into a World Series... and sadly the post remains relevant.
Chances are he'll be managing next season somewhere and David Lennon at Newsday has Donnie Baseball being a prime candidate for taking over the Indians job.
Wow, if there was a place that had WORSE post season karma than Don Mattingly IT'S CLEVELAND!!!
Maybe the bad karma will cancel each other out.

My Comment. I have a better idea, When Terry Francona retires I feel the Boston Red Sox should give Donny Baseball a 10 year Contract to manage the Boston Red Sox or at the very least put him in as a uniformed coach, As a Yankee Fan we can say with his record We as Yankee Fans will Love him forever and thank him for putting on a Red Sox Uniform. Thanks Sully for reminding me of the Mattingly Record (Curse) and for my inspiring me to come up with this idea.
