Astros still complaining about the games at Miller Park

I was just watching ESPN's Outside the Lines and the Astros just won't let it go. Frankly, I'm getting tired of the Astros and all this talk about how much Bud Selig screwed them. I thought they screwed themselves by not having a better alternative plan in place sooner. They need to just accept that they really are not that good of a team and should not have made the playoffs. Good teams find a way to win no matter where they play. Having a -34 run differential doesn't help their case either. I read a post from another blog site that summed everything up involving this incident very well.

Astros are only three out of the wild card

I was just thinking how bad I would feel for the Brewers to have traded away their future for the present and not even make the playoffs. If the Astros continue to play as well as they have, the Brewers can easily be last year's Mets, except that this is for the wildcard. This raises the next most logical question, who would you fear more? On one hand, you have the Brewers with two legitimate aces pitching games one and two whereas the Astros are just on the hottest streak at the right time. Too bad I can't add a poll....so what are your insights?

Friday Night Tailgate

Has anybody seen Friday Night Tailgate on the big ten network? I watched it for the first time last week and I found it to be absolutely hilarious. Maybe it was just the particular episode last week at the University of Illinois, as I am an Illinois alum, I couldn't stop laughing. The reporters are around 21-25 and it's like watching a college ran tv station. The jokes are corny, but still funny nonetheless. The only thing that was missing was someone that looked like Erin Andrews.

Olympics discussion thread

I didn't see one of these up yet, and hell, it only happens every four years. Discuss what you want, but as always, try not to be rude to others for having differing opinions.

Here are my opinions so far about these Olympics:

*Phelps has been absolutely amazing and dominant at all the events he's been in

*The Men's Olympic gymnastic team won bronze and their attitude was absolutely hilarious. They reminded me of a group of frat guys.

*The Women's gymnastic team got silver while China got gold, it was well deserved based on performance, but I wish the US could have won to put cheating China in their place.

*US men's basketball and softball have been absolutely dominant. They play Greece today and look for the US to make a statement by dominating them.

*Handball is a badass sport.
