the mad sports man

where i am - or is it where am i? i dont know, but my head finally stopped spinning after the baseball events of the weekend. like philadelphia phillies winning the national league east, the l.a. dodgers winning the n.l. west and today the milwaukee brewers winning the wild card. the national league division series match-ups are: the phillies vs the brewers and the cubs vs the dodgers. the tampa bay rays are american league east winners, the red sox are wild card winners and the l.a. angels are the west winners. the central is up in the air as minnesota (at 88-74) leads the white sox by 1/2 a game(87-74). the white sox will play detroit tomorrow (a make up game from earlier this month due to rain). if the white sox win, they will play the twins tuesday in a one game playoff for the central. if the sox lose, the twins win. lost in this was a car race that was won by jimmie johnson today. he's now leading the points after the third of 10 playoff races. kyle busch struggled

final game at yankee stadium the yankees and baltimore orioles just finished the last ever game at yankee stadiume. the yankees won 7-3. mike mussina gets the win, mariano rivera pitched the 9th and jose molina hit the last homer there, 85 years after babe ruth hit the first ever homer ther in 1923. the yankees will move across the street to a brand new yankee stadium starting in 2009.

a rare cubs feat the chicago cubs made it to the post season in back to back seasons in a century by winning the nl central division. in 1907 and 1908 was the last time the did it, which is the last time they won a world series.

a no hit sunday in milwaukee no it does not involve the brewers. the cubs and astros are using miller park in milwaukee to play two games (tonight and tomorrow) due to hurricane ike. anyways carlos zambrano of the cubs just finished throwing a no hitter against the astros in a 5-0 win. he is the 8th cubs pitcher since 1900 to throw one. an accomplishment to remember.

"save"ing history francisco rodriguez of the los angeles angels recorded his 58th save in a 5-2 win over the seattle mariners, breaking the old record of 57 set by bobby thigpen in 1990. it will be likely that rodriguez will hit 60 by the end of the season, which ends on the 28th of this month.

weather mayhem weather mayhem all over, and not just hurricane ike. hurricane ike has the potential of major damage. the cubs and astros had to postpone the game tonight and tomorrow for safety reasons. five other games further east were rained out (detroit at chicago, minnesota at baltimore, atlanta at n.y. mets, tampa bay at n.y. yankees, and milwaukee at philadelphia). the game in philly wil be made up on sunday. the other four in brackets will be made up tomorrow plus toronto at boston and kansas city at cleveland has double headers from previous rainouts. gonna be ugly - or fun.

monday night after sunday mayhem just finished watching green bay beat minnesota 24-19 in the first half of the monday night doubleheader. up next is denver at oakland. this follows a busy sunday with the full slate of week one nfl games that followed the giants beatin the redskins last thursday. plus a plethera of baseball games and jimmie johnson winning his second race in a row yesterday. ten races to go and twelve drivers in the race for the championship. gonna get good.
