The Big Games

Tomorrow, the New England Revolution will be playing the D.C. United (at D.C.) in the Eastern Conference final of the MLS. The New England team has been a regular presence in the playoffs, but the team has not broken through to a championship. A win tomorrow will put New England in the final for the second time in as many seasons. The game will be broadcast at 4PM on ESPN2. Go Revs!

The other big game tomorrow is probably more familiar to the rest of the nation. The New England Patriots will be facing the undefeated Indianapolis Colts at Foxboro, in Week 9 of the NFL. The Colts have always found ways to lose against the Patriots, and I relish the thought of another New England victory. This game will be broadcast at 8PM on NBC. Go Pats!

A Book A Week?

Scott Smith of Minnesota is reading one book a week this year. In this his 42nd week, he's tackling Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. Yes, I have this book, gathering dust on my bookshelf. Mr. Smith is going to try to read it in a week. Hats off!

I'll be watching how he does at the end of the year. So far, I've only read six books this year. Ugh. Let's see if I can rally in these last few months.

Baseball Predictions

I'm still reeling from the Yankees early exit! In the ALCS, I like the Detroit Tigers over the Oakland A's, but in truth, I could root for either team.

In the NLCS, I like the New York Mets over the St. Louis Cardinals. As I write this, Detroit is up 3 to 0 in Game 1.
