A quick sports note

Lots going on in sports right now. First, despite crazy weather delays Florida State put together a nice game against WCU to the tune of 69-0. Yes, I was surprised (even though it's a 1-AA school) that the defense pitched a shutout. And yes, I was surprised that the offense scored that many points (my prediction earlier was 41-19 FSU). It made me nervous that WCU kept it 7-0 midway through the 2nd quarter, but I would think it's hard to keep your head in the game when they keep delaying the game due to lightning. Speaking of Lightning, does anyone know that Barry Melrose is now the head coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning?!

Second, the Rays have now squandered their 4.5 game lead for the pennant in the AL East to 1.5 games after being swept in Toronto over the weekend. To make things worse, they will be in Boston starting tomorrow night for a three-game set that could very well determine the pennant and the post-season. Frankly, I'm scared. You know that Boston smells blood and that Fenway will be ROCKING the next few nights! Oh well, it's been such a great season to this point, we'll see what happens!

Lastly, the Bucs lost to open their season at 0-1. On the bright side, they started 0-1 with a loss to New Orleans the year they won the Super Bowl, so maybe this is a good thing?! 

Tidbits: Vanderbilt beat Steve Spurrier's Gamecocks last Thursday night - yay! The Cubs have a series with the St. Louis Cardinals this week. And FSU will host the Choo-Choo's of UT Chattanooga this Saturday!
