Game 2 tonight...
A question to sports fans...
- Thread starter CT's Finest
- Start date
I have never been able to watch baseball on television. It is so boring to me on tv. But when I went to the games live I had so much fun.
I'd rather go to a baseball game than watch it on television.
I feel you Ms. Lady. Like you I can't really watch Major League Baseball on TV anymore. I can look at a little bit of the college and little league stuff though. I went to a couple minor league games when I was a kid and I had a great time. For some reason baseball seems like something that's more enjoyable in person...Whatever the case may be I'll keep updating the series for those who are interested. Speaking of the update, here it is now as the game just ended...

Game 3 Saturday...
Plenty of college football on today. Right now I'm flipping back and forth between Tenn./'Bama and Ohio State/Penn. State. I think they said the World Series had been delayed by rain, but they'll try to get the game going. I'll update you on what happens when it's over...
FYI, college B-Ball fans beware, my Tar Heels have officially begun practicing...

Blue is the Colour.....!!!!
Damn IT!If I didn't get NFL Sunday Ticket to watch my CHARGERS make another run at the superbowl and they playing like shit!
Oh well....
Yeah, they're not looking like most people thought they would this year. They seem to be up and down allot. There's no real consistency. They've got talent, but they need to bring it every week.
I mean uh thanks CT for just pouring salt all over the wounds on my little feminine body

CT, you will be happy to know that the CAROLINA TAR HEELS will be going to a bowl game this season
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Hakeem Nicks just knew he was going to have a big game. North Carolina didn't need much else to become bowl-eligible for the first time in four years.
Nicks had three second-quarter touchdown catches and ran for a score in the fourth to help the Tar Heels beat Boston College 45-24 on Saturday, bouncing back from last week's road loss with what coach Butch Davis called "the most complete team game we've probably played" in his two seasons here.
Trimane Goddard added an interception return for a touchdown for the Tar Heels (6-2, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who fell behind 10-0 in the first quarter before roaring back.
The Tar Heels also got a short touchdown run from Ryan Houston after a long interception return by Kendric Burney, who had two of the team's three picks of BC quarterback Chris Crane.
Everything started with Nicks, who provided the big-play threat missing since receiver Brandon Tate suffered a season-ending knee injury this month. He finished with eight catches for 139 yards -- 127 coming in a 24-point second quarter -- and 31 yards rushing, proving to be a matchup the Eagles (5-2, 2-2) had no answer for all day.
"I wouldn't say I put more pressure on myself," Nicks said of replacing Tate. "But I just know I had to step up and contribute the best way possible. Every time they called my name, I felt like I had to make a play."
Nicks came through quickly, turning a one-handed grab into a 26-yard touchdown for the Tar Heels' first score less than a minute into the second quarter. He followed Burney's first interception by getting behind the secondary for a 40-yard score and a 17-10 lead with 2:17 left in the half.
Then, after BC managed a quick drive to tie it with less than a minute left, Nicks caught a pass from Cameron Sexton over the middle, then broke to the right side for a 43-yard score for the 24-17 halftime lead.
Nicks said he told some of his teammates he would have a "career day." He didn't mention it to Sexton, though the quarterback already seemed to know.
"We can just look at each other and know," said Sexton, who threw for 238 yards. "I'll get a tap coming out of the huddle a lot from Hakeem. We just really have some kind of communication without words. I don't know how to describe it. I know he's going to be there. I trust him."
By the time Nicks added a 12-yard rushing score midway through the fourth quarter, the Tar Heels led 45-17.
"He is one of the unique, special guys that I've seen where the bigger the moment and the bigger the stage, the better he plays," Davis said.
The Tar Heels were ranked 18th before last week's overtime loss at Virginia -- their 14th straight in Charlottesville -- dropped them out of the rankings. They took their disappointment out on the Eagles, who entered the game with a four-game winning streak that had pushed them into a crowded group atop the league's Atlantic Division.
Boston College's defense got the Eagles off to a fast start, with Ron Brace sacking Sexton on North Carolina's third play and forcing a fumble that Kevin Akins scooped up and returned 13 yards for a 10-0 lead with 6:18 left in the opening period. But there were few highlights from there, as BC finished with 244 total yards behind a shaky performance from Crane.
"You're eligible every week, if you don't come and play your best, to get a butt-whipping," BC coach Jeff Jagodzinski said. "But we've got to come back from that."
North Carolina's defense entered the game tied for the national lead with 14 interceptions and among the leaders in turnover margin. Sexton's early fumble was North Carolina's only turnover, while the Tar Heels converted all three of Crane's interceptions into touchdowns.
Burney picked off Crane on the Eagles' first second-half possession and returned it to BC's 1 to set up Houston's score. Goddard essentially closed the door to start the fourth quarter, jumping in front of Brandon Robinson for the pick and going 51 yards for the score and a 38-17 lead.
Crane, saddled with the burden of replacing ACC player of the year and first-round NFL draft pick Matt Ryan, has thrown 12 interceptions.
"I wish I could have those throws back because I don't know what the game would have turned out to be, but it happened," said Crane, who finished with 204 yards and two TD passes. "I'm not sure if I went back if I would be able to see it. It's just things to learn from."
The Tar Heels' 24-point second quarter was the most they had scored in one period since a 35-point spurt at Duke eight years ago. It also marked the third time this season North Carolina has rallied from at least 10 points down to win.

Ryan Howard has broken out of that funk he was in. Rays are in trouble. I think the Phillies will close it out Monday night.

Tonight's game has bee suspended due to rain. Right now the score is tied. Whenever it resumes the score will be 2-2 and the Phillies will be up for their half of the 6th inning...
No baseball tonight because of more bad weather in Philly...
...But don't worry sports fans because the NBA is back. Overall I think college basketball (GO HEELS) is more exciting but this is an NBA season that I look forward to seeing. Things kick off tonight on TNT at 7 EST. with NBA Tip Off and then at 8 the games begin with the Celtics and Cavs in Boston. The Celts get their rings and raise their banner tonight before the game begins. After that (around 10:30 EST.) we'll go to LA for a game between the Lakers and Blazers...
...Even though it's opening night do you all have opinions about what we'll see this year in the NBA? Who's your Rookie Of the Year, Surprise Team, Conference Champs, etc.?

Derrick Rose will be ROY.
Chris Paul will be MVP.
Celtics will win the East, holding off a pesky Cavaliers team
Hornets will win the West, getting past the Lakers and the Spurs.
Celtics will repeat as NBA Champs.

Good picks GP. I'm gonna go with Beasley for R.O.Y. though, but I think I agree with the other picks. If not L.A. I think N.O. can win the West, and I think if Kobe doesn't repeat, CP-3 will end up as the MVP...On another note...
...Why is...
...hurt again? They say this time it's a foot sprain, so that's nothing major, but damn, after all the hype, and (in my opinion) people getting way too excited about his debut last night he only played about 9 minutes...

Sean.
Sounds like sour grapes coming from you.
In fact the goal you're talking about was the first goal for spurs scored by David Bentley. Cracking goal don't ya think. Did you notice how silent they were in the 'Taliban' stadium.....
Let me give a little reminder, don't fuck with spurs now.

I called it Phils in 6. And when you think about it, it kinda was 6 games. . . .
Well, folks it's about that time...Since it's after Midnight I'm now hours away from seeing my NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS take the basketball court for the first time. I'm excited to see this year's team play for the first time. Hopefully we'll kick allot of ass and take allot of names this year. My hope is that the Heels will win it all this year...
My Sooners play Texas Tech next weekend.
I'm hoping we have FINALLY worked out our defense issues over since we had a bye week.
That should be a good game jjUST...I've seen Tech a couple times this year, and they are a tough team. I look forward to seeing that one...
...On another note, the Heels won, and looked pretty good. We were without Tyler Hansbrough and Marcus Ginyard, but the team stiil played some good ball. Those guys will be back soon though, so the basketball world should be in trouble this year...
