I have a test tommorow, and the paper for this class due on Thursday, so this one is going to be short.

The Red Sox are back in the World Series, in short, I feel bad for the Colorado Rockies. Boston has such experienced players on that club. They know how to win, and it showed in the ALCS. The Rockies have the disadvantage of being cold, as they have not played in eight days. The Red Sox are riding high on emotion, and that gives the definitive edge going into the World Series. Boston has the experience, pitching, and a potent offense; the Rockies aren't out of it by any stretch--but they need to be careful because Boston is playing like a team with something to prove.

Notre Dame lost again this weekend. SURPRISE, SURPRISE. That is total sarcasm, as I know ND is going to be fine in the long run, but losing week after week is a bitter pill to swallow, especially when it comes against our biggest rival USC who has looked weak in recent games. The last four games (against Navy, Duke, Air Force, and Stanford) should help ND gain confidence going into next season, but even those are far from gimme games this season.

Basketball season is starting soon, thank God for March Madness, but the NBA . . . not so much. I never have to worry about my Duke Blue Devils, Coach K always brings a talented and competitive team that usually holds my attention throughout the year.

The Lakers, my NBA team on the other hand, are in big trouble, and I do not see this season being any better than the last couple. I love Kobe Bryant, but if he wants to be traded, trade him!!! His presence may hurt in the short term--but in the long run, it will help the franchise immensly. Possible suitors are the Chicago Bulls and the Dallas Mavericks, two teams with good young talent that could really help address some of the positions problems the Lakers have all over their depth chart. Kobe has some baggage, but he is hands down one of the best players EVER, any time would be lucky to have him!!! His scoring titles speak for themselves, put him on a good team, with decent talent around him, and he is like Michael Jordan all over again.

Ok, that's enough, it's time to hit the books . . .
