Sports Brief

There is a lot of activity going on in local and national sports. This post will touch on each of the big recent events.

Texas to World Series

The Texas Rangers clinched a spot in the World Series last night, beating the Yankees 6-1. It is Texas' first trip to the Series in franchise history. They will take on the winner of the Philly-SF series. Game six is tonight, the Giants are trying to clinch as well. I would personally love to see a Texas-San Francisco series.




Hawks lose to Blues

The Blackhawks lost to the Blues in St. Louis, dropping their record to 5-4 and ending their win streak at four games. Their next game is Saturday against Columbus at the United Center.


Saturday hosts big College match-ups

There are some great College Football games going on this Saturday, many of them Big Ten. Missouri and Oklahoma face off in primetime, both unbeaten. Michigan State takes on Northwestern, a true test for the Wildcats. My "game of the week," however, would be Wisconsin @ Iowa. The Badgers are coming off an upset of the formerly #1 Ohio State Buckeyes, while Iowa is yet to prove themselves, but looks to have a great team. That game is at 2:30 on ABC.


Bears prepare for Redskins

The Bears welcome Washington into Soldier Field tomorrow. Hopefully the Bears defense can get to McNabb like they have been to other QBs this year. I'm looking for the O-line to improve, which, according to Mike Martz, already has (I disagree strongly). Cutler needs to get more time, but he also needs to get rid of the ball quicker.
