WHO DO YOU WANT TO WIN

Tonight kicks off the World Series in downtown Boston as the Red Sox host the St Louis Cardinals in game one of the world series. These teams aren't knew to the series, in the last ten years  both teams have been here three times. Although both teams are very evenly matched Boston is the slight favorite. Weather conditions could play a tough a factor tonight with temps being in the low forty's, and slight chance of rain. Adam Wainwright will face off against Jon Lester with an eight o clock first pitch. So the question is if your a pirates fan who do you want to win? Do you go with the Cardinals who can show the true strength of the NL Central or do you go with the Sox who can finally knock off the Cardinals.

Injury Filled Weekend

With week seven in the books for the NFL a few teams will be without some of there star players for an extended amount of time. The most crucial injury was Reggie Wayne of the Colts who will be gone for the rest of the season with a MCL tear. Wayne was target the most out of any receiver besides Calvin Johnson and Brandon Marshall. He was the leading receiver, and leader of the Colts who will deeply miss him. Another key player for there organization who is done for the year is Sam Bradford of the St Louis Rams who was carted off the field for the season. The Rams are on the look for a new QB within the organization hoping not having to trade for one. The Texans are already facing troubled times lost Adrian Foster to a hamstring injury, as well as Brian Cushing being carted off with a knee injury in the second half. Texans are going on a bye week so they are hoping they can heal up, and get back on track this season. Fellow QB Jay Culter will be gone for at least four weeks with a groin injury. To round out week 7 injuries is Tampa Bays running back Doug Martin who left with a shoulder injury. Although its unclear of a time he will be out the Bucs will be hoping its not a extended amount of time because he is used in over 70% of the offensive plays. This week was a terrible week for injures, hopefully everyone will have quick safe recoveries.

Still Hope in the Burgh

After having the worst season since the 1968 (0-6) start the Pittsburgh Steelers look to rebound, and  make a run towards the playoffs which in fact aren't out of reach. The Steelers still have five divisional games left, and are only 2.5 games behind the division leader Cincinnati Bengals. Pittsburgh looks to climb out of the basement to get its first back to back wins in thirteen games. It will take a lot of effort from all the veterans and knew comers to turn the season around which is quite clear they are looking to do, Brett Keisel stated blantley "We're not going to quit" the DE helps lead the defense which only has two takeaways this year. It all will start on Sunday at Heinz field when they will host divsion rival the Balitmore Ravens (3-3) who look to get on their winning ways as well.

The U keeps National Championship Hopes Alive

Last night was a career day for red-shirt sophomore Dallas Crawford who propelled Miami over North Carolina (1-5) to keep them unbeaten. Crawford ran for a career high with 137 yards rushing and two touchdowns which both came in the fourth quarter to bring back Miami. The hurricanes lost top rusher Duke Johnson to an injury very early in the game. Crawford knew he had to step up with quarterback Stephen Morris throwing for four interceptions which matched his season total till this game. This is the first time Miami has started (6-0) since the 2004 season. The U looks to keep its winning ways when they host (3-3) Wake Forest at a 12 o clock kickoff.

Primetime Showdown in Death Valley

Tomorrow tonight number three ranked Clemson will host number five ranked Florida State in Death Valley with a 8:00 PM kickoff. Both teams are undefeated looking for the next step toward their national championship run. More than likely the loser will be out of the running so this is a very big game for both schools. Coming off a bye week, FSU looks to keep its streak going after destroying number twenty-five ranked Maryland 63-0. Clemson however has a different story in which it took two late second half touchdowns to edge Boston College. Each team as a Heisman candidate in Jamesis Winston and Tajh Boyd at the quarterback position. This game is predicted to be a barn burnner in which the line is 64 and FSU is favorited by three. So if your not busy Saturday night tune into ABC for a college thriller.

Eli Manning

Today is Thursday which means the NFL will hold another game tonight at 8:25. The (3-2) Chicago Bears will host the (0-5) New Giants tonight at Soldier Field. The G men are looking to avoid their first (0-6) start in 37 years. Eli Manning is looking to lead the G men in the right direction tonight, Manning is leading the league in interceptions with 12. The two-time super bowl MVP is looking to get his season on line tonight, he is one of the best players on the field. Some outsiders of the organzation are looking to blame Manning however his teammates and coaches will not. Coach Tom Coughlin has has in back as well in stating "The guy is trying to play the best he can. He certainly trying to do too much. he knows his team and he knows his responsibility. He's an extremely accountable guy and he's going to everything he possibly can. Sometimes it's not to be done that way." Victor Cruz also shared his pitch by saying "Its' everyone, the recievers, the offensive line. Everyone is to blame for some of these losses" Cruz recored 15 recptions for 212 yards and 1 touchdown in the past two weeks. Manning looks to beat the odds in which Chicago is favorited by seven, in reforming himself into super bowl form, and coming out of Chicago with a W.

Great Season

In todays world all good things come to an end. Unfortunately for the Pittsburgh Pirates their season came to end last night in the wake of a lost to the St Louis Cardinals. The seris will be one to remember for it was the first time the Pirates made the playoffs since 1992, I still had a few months till I was born. Hopefully this off season Clint Hurdle, and the front office can make some moves that will make the Pirates a alot deeper than before. In addition hopefully these moves can make a World Seris run even farther. It was a great run in getting the Pittsburgh faithful back in the baseball movement. Even though I wasn't at the home games I'm sure that the atomsphere was great in Pittsburgh during the seris. Lets be honest being able to watch the Pirates, Steelers, and Penguins during the same month was a blessing in which most cities don't have to opportunity to do. So keep rooting for your Pittsburgh teams no matter how bad they are doing, show that Pittsburgh pride.

Pirate Game

Hello everyone hope everybody is excited as I am for game one tonight in St Louis. The St Louis Cardinals will host the Pittsburgh Pirates in a exciting game one in the NLDS. The Pirates will be starting right hander AJ Burnett with the Cardinals putting Adam Wainwright(a righty as well) on top of the hill tonight for the first pitch. The start time is 5:07 and the game will be on TBS. Hopefully the Pirates can get a game head of the Cardinals. Have fun tonight watching the game, in addition be safe.

Thursday Night Football

Even though today marks a great day for Pirate baseball, today still holds opportunity to catch a night NFL game. The game doesn't start till 8:15 so you if your a pirate fan you can still watch a little of both. Tonights matchup is being held in Cleveland, Ohio between the Buffalo Bills and the Cleveland Browns, the Browns are a 3.5 point favorite with the over/under being 40.5. Here quarterback Brian Hoyer gets another chance to prove he can be a proficient starter for the Browns after winning the past two games. It should be a interesting game with the Bills having the same record as the Browns. The Bills behind rookie quarterback EJ Manuel are still looking for an idenity in order to keep  on there winning ways. This game should be a great battle so tune into NFL network for an 8:15 kick-off, this game shouldn't be a disappointment.
