The season on the college gridiron is already six weeks old. How about that.

And while the 2009 NCAA college football season will continue to be overshadowed by its pro counterpart until January gets here and the BCS Bowl Games start rolling, we’ll be here trying to get you earning as much money as possible.

With that being said, we’ll kick this thing off with one of those teams that you can ride on this season with ease, the Alabama Crimson Tide. Alabama is coming off a huge win against Kentucky 38-20 last weekend with Mark Ingram leading the way, running for a career-high 140 yards while scoring for two touchdowns.

Alabama relied on their quarterback Greg McElroy, who added a pair of scoring passes as the Crimson Tide (5-0, 2-0 SEC) pulled away from the Wildcats (2-2, 0-2) during a stretch in the second and third quarters when they scored 24 points in just over 5 minutes.

Alabama has the Mississippi Rebels next. The Rebels will still continue to rely on the services of Jevan Snead who passed for three…

Are the Dodgers really that good?

Since Manny Ramirez came back from his suspension, the Los Angeles Dodgers have been on a roll this 2009 MLB baseball season.

You read it, the Los Angeles Dodgers look like the team to come out and represent the National League in the World Series. The Dodgers lead the pack in the NL West. However, slugger Manny Ramirez is in a downward spiral and he appears to be bringing the Dodgers down with him.

On their fifth attempt to clinch the National League West, the Dodgers fell 4-3 to the second-place Colorado Rockies as Manny Ramirez struck out in each of his four trips to the plate. The Dodgers may have gotten some sort of momentum since Ramirez came back from the suspension but with Ramirez himself struggling, I’m not sure how long can the rest of the Dodgers keep themselves afloat.

Last year, after acquiring Ramirez, the Dodgers looked like a completely different team. Before trading for him, they were 54-54. In the Dodger blue, Manny hit .396 with 17 homers and 53 RBI in 53 games. Truth be told, they have been led by outfielders not named Manny in Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp, along with first baseman James Loney, and young pitchers like Chad Billingsley and Clayton Kershaw.

It’ll be interesting to see how everything unfolds around the Dodgers.

One team looking to challenge the Dodgers are the Colorado Rockies. Under new manager Jim Tracy, the Rockies appear to be a completely different team. They don’t have any superstar pitchers, but Jason Marquis has 15 wins, Ubaldo Jimenez has 14 along with an ERA of 3.47, and Jorge De La Rosa has 15 in addition to…

For now, all I can remember of the guy is the year when he made 70 home runs.

Other than that, every single time somebody talks about the guy this 2008 MLB baseball season, his steroid problems seem to become the topic of discussion. Yep, just like Clemens, Canseco and the poster boy for steroids, Barry Bonds.

Now, it looks like Mark McGwire wants to give people something else to talk about every time his name is mentioned. Rumor has it that the former St. Louis Cardinals powerhouse wants to make a comeback. You read it, McGwire wants to have baseball in his life again.

Mark McGwire is considered as one of the most famous men in baseball history. However, he hasn’t made a public appearance at a major league ballpark in three years, has declined interview requests and passed on annual invitations to visit his former team, the St. Louis Cardinals, in spring training.

Mark McGwire, who made a record in Major League Baseball 10 years ago when he hit the single-season record of 70 home runs, had his last moment in the spotlight back in 2005 because of issues with regards to steroids use and other performance enhancing substance.

McGwire declined to admit that he is slowly returning to baseball. But…

Because with the NBA Finals almost over and with football still a few months away, we won’t have much of a choice but to watch baseball.

He he… Yes, with virtually nothing on TV after the NBA Finals conclude, ya’ll probably won’t have much of a choice but to start watching the ever so exciting, (we use the term ‘exciting’ ever so slightly here…) 2008 MLB baseball season.

On that note, let’s take a quick look on what’s been going on around the diamond lately shall we? Hopefully, we’ll find something else to write about other than Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and a whole lot of steroids syringes.

And of course, like last season, everybody’s still so fixated on the American League compared to the National League. While NBA fans favor the Western conference more than the East, baseball has this one.

Defending champions Boston Red Sox lead the pack from the American League East while the Chicago White Sox and the Los Angeles Angels lead the Central and West divisions respectively.

Boston Red Sox are still coming out strong after winning the MLB World Series last season. They have a 43-28 win-loss record, with a decent 7-3 showing in their last 10 games.

In the Central division, the Chicago White Sox, with a 38-30 win-loss mark…

For all ya’ll who didn’t now it yet, the Boston area is currently 1-2 this year in championship games.

Yep, the Celtics come in the 2008 NBA Finals probably looking for some vindication for the whole Boston area. It has been a great year in sports for people living in Boston, but still, dominating all these sports disciplines only to win one of the three championship battles they have been in sure is disappointing to say the least.

The Boston area this year, just like the Boston Celtics from the past, have probably grown accustomed to big championship games after the Boston Red Sox beat the crap out of the Colorado Rockies to win the 2007 MLB World Series.

Since then, thanks to the Boston Red Sox, the Boston area was, more often than not, right in the thick of things as far as world championships in sports are concerned. Take the New England Patriots for example. They dominated the NFL last season, winning every single regular season game to overtake the regular season record set by the 1972 Miami Dolphins.

And while Tom Brady and the rest of the Patriots were having their way on the football field, the New England Revolution, another professional sports team from the Boston area, was playing in the championship game of…

Game 3. You just know the Rockies have to win this one.

Otherwise, they will go down 3-0 to this Boston Red Sox team focused on winning the 2007 MLB World Series to become champions of the world once again.

The Colorado Rockies will be home for games 3, 4 and 5 beginning this Saturday. After going down 2-1 in Game 2 to the Boston Red Sox, the Rockies are probably happy that they’re back at home, hell, they won 11 of their last 12 home games anyway.

Yes, the Colorado Rockies are at their best when they play at home and they will certainly need all the home cooking they can get for Game 3. And for their sake, being at home in Colorado is definitely a huge home advantage.

With the altitude, the humidor and the spacious outfield, the Boston Red Sox will probably need some time to get used to all this. For the Rockies, this is home and of course, they’ve played here more than any team this season.

The Colorado Rockies won some of their biggest games at home as…

Two wins away, that’s how far the Red Sox is from winning the World Series.

In what has been a dramatic comeback in the playoffs, the Red Sox are now two wins away from becoming world champions after beating the Colorado Rockies, 2-1, in Game 2 to take a 2-0 lead in the 2007 MLB World Series.

Yep, the Boston Red Sox, after almost eliminated by the Cleveland Indians in the ALCS thrice, found their way to move on to the championship series and take an early 2-0 lead over the Colorado Rockies.

Sure, many of you probably thought the Red Sox will get here back when the season was just kicking off but after falling to the Cleveland Indians 3-1 in the ALCS, none of you probably expected the Red Sox to do this and still be this good.

While Josh Beckett was the man for Boston in Game 1, pitching was again the key in Game 2 as Curt Schilling dominated the Colorado Rockies bats, holding them to four singles and two walks in 5 1/3 innings.

The bullpen was huge for Boston as well as they got 3 2/3 innings of shutout relief from…

It was all red in Game 1, leaving the Rockies… well… ROCKED.

The 2007 MLB World Series was finally underway as the Boston Red Sox, this season’s comeback team yet again, simply trashed the Colorado Rockies, 13-1, to take the 1-0 lead in this best-of-seven affair for baseball’s richest prize.

The Boston Red Sox were probably still fuming with momentum after shocking the Cleveland Indians, then leading 3-1 and one win away from advancing to the World Series, winning three straight games to end the Tribe’s season in seven games.

Facing a well-rested Colorado Rockies team in Game 1 of the World Series, the Red Sox were simply on fire while exposing how rusty this Colorado team really was. Hell, Boston jumped on Colorado right from the get-go, scoring three runs in the very first inning to take the early 3-0 lead.

The Colorado Rockies did answer with a run of their own at the top of the 2nd inning. That, however, would be the only thing they’d be scoring in Game 1 as…

Jeez… They did it again.

MLB baseball’s comeback team, that’s the Boston Red Sox, did it again. After going down 3-1 to the Cleveland Indians, the Red Sox won three straight games, winning their third one in Game 7 to advance to the 2007 MLB World Series against the Colorado Rockies.

Facing elimination for the third straight game, the Boston Red Sox simply dominated the stunned Cleveland Indians in Game 7, winning in convincing fashion, 11-2, to become the 2007 American League champions.

You can almost feel how disappointed the entire ”Tribe” in Cleveland is right now after coming so close from advancing to baseball’s biggest stage. Hell, they had three opportunities to put Boston away and they wasted each one.

Boston’s most expensive import, that’s Japanese pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka who the Red Sox bought at a whopping $103 million in the offseason, was the star this time. Dice-K (Matsuzaka’s ”Western” nickname…) retired Cleveland’s first eight…

Game 6 of the Boston – Cleveland series is this Saturday and just like last Thursday, Red Sox nation will be staring at elimination.

Yep, after having their backs against the wall, the Boston Red Sox pulled a 7-1 win over the Cleveland Indians in Game 5 to force a 6th game back in Boston this Saturday.

Thanks to ace pitcher Josh Beckett, the Cleveland Indians saw 11 of their bats striking out as the Boston Red Sox superstar only allowed a single run and five hits. Talk about dominance eh?

While Josh Beckett may have successfully masked Boston’s flaws in Game 5, he wasn’t able to make them all go away. And what’s probably even worse is the fact that the Red Sox would have to go to another guy other than Beckett to force a Game 7 on Sunday.

Hell, for all we know, Game 6 of the 2007 American League Championship Series could be the last game the Boston Red Sox will ever play at Fenway Park. Curt Schilling will get the nod for the Red Sox against the Cleveland Indians in Game 6 but we all know how that turned out last…
