Red Sox Must Wait to Clinch

The Red Sox had just about gotten into the Yankees' heads until Walker hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the seventh inning. Then the bullpen and defense kicked in to negate champagne corks popping for the BoSox.

Week Three Means an "A" for Me!

I managed to pick 90 percent of my NCAA football results correctly, thanks to "walk-off" field goal by LSU and a predictable result of the Ohio State-TCU game. I was glad the Horned Frogs gave the Buckeyes some food for thought and not just a welcome mat. Good show! Now my beloved USC Trojans on the other hand. We have some work to do, Men of Troy! Fight on!
