The Rays in the midst of a loosing streak, and playing in Boston, another loss would have caused them first place. I wrote Tuesday morning that they would find a way to win, and Tuesday night they did, with the help of another unlikely hero.

I look at the baseball standings and the NFL highlights, and I can tell it is mid September. Three division leads in MLB have diminished to within 2 games, and the NFL has upsets all over the place.

Tough AFC South rivals the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Tennessee Titans will battle it out today for the right to say they are the team to beat in their division.

The storm has passed, the dome is in good shape, and they are ready for football in New Orleans.

Here it is week 1, and after the Favre media circus, and the booting of Chad Pennington it comes down to this. A game where there will be talk about which team made the better move during the preseason, and this game won't necessarily make it go away.

The Miami Hurricanes who got off to a good start with a win over Charleston Southern will blow north tonight to compete in the bigger of the two instate matchups tonight. A new generation of Hurricanes and Gators will go at in the swamp like the many before them.

Here is the in-state rivalry between the University of South Florida Bulls and the University of Central Florida Knights. A battle between a team that has gotten to top 25 status quickly in its program life, and one that wants to follow in their footsteps. It is the battle of Interstate 4.

It is week 2 of the college season, we have a full schedule, and the match ups get better. Florida State finally gets it going this week against Western Carolina; well most match ups get better anyway.

I have tried to avoid talking about the attendance issues of the Florida baseball teams. I can't turn on any sports news without hearing the question, where are the fans, so I can't avoid it anymore. For many years I have seen the answers, so here they are.

It's Saturday morning and once again it is time to wake up, do your picks, and get ready for marathon football. Looking to prove that last year was not a fluke are the South Florida Bulls taking on Tennessee-Martin of the Ohio Valley Conference.

Tomorrow, college football under the Florida sun really gets started. It actually did last night, when the University of Miami pummeled Charleston Southern 52-7. We won't have battles of top 10 teams tomorrow, but the Saturday's of marathon game watching finally begins.

Well it's week four of the preseason, the week where the only thing determined in the games may be the final cuts. Most starters will play very little, and the teams will be just trying to avoid injuries. So here are my previews for tonight in a nutshell.

A couple weeks ago, I said how the Rays should go after Gary Sheffield rather than Barry Bonds as ESPN was suggesting. I also mentioned in another post that if the Rays did not get anyone, they could still get their right handed bat with Rocco Baldelli coming back. The Sheffield idea went over well, and the Baldelli idea did not. Well look what has happened.

Tropical storm Fay may play tricks on tonight's game in Tampa. Just as fast as the play I expect on the field tonight, passing downpours will probably come and go all night long.

Tropical storm Fay is finally moving north making way for tonight's game between Kansas City and Miami.
