Clinch night?

Game 6 of the World Series goes tonight and you'd think that being at home, adding Jorge Posada and Hideki Matsui's bats to the mix, and getting a second crack at Pedro Martinez should mean advantage Yankees but the Phillies are the best road team in the game this year, and are renowned for their resiliency much the same way the Yankees are. Who wins? I'm thinking the Yankees get to Pedro early and that brings in that bullpen of BJ Ryan clones and the Yanks score a pile tonight. Of course, that'd be easier to believe if Mark Teixera and Robinson Cano were doing anything. If Andy Pettitte is smart, he throws nothing hittable to Chase Utley and deals with Ryan Howard, who hits lefties the way a cat hits a pit bull.

Speaking of Yanks/Phillies, check out this brawl at Yankee Stadium last week between fans of both. Wonder how this didn't get more widespread coverage? Oh, right, it isn't soccer.

Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder is apologizing for his team's 2-5 start, saying they've let "everyone down". Trust me on this one, Dan, you have not let this guy down. Stay the course.

Another game, another overtime loss for the Toronto Maple Leafs, this time 2-1 to the Tampa Bay Lightning. But hey, Phil Kessel set a personal best for number of shots on goal, if that means anything to anybody.

What a wild day of Champions League play yesterday. Manchester United rallied from a 3-1 deficit to draw CSKA Moscow and book their spot in the round of 16. Chelsea and Atletico Madrid played to a 2-2 draw in Didier Drogba's return, and Real Madrid and AC Milan played to an entertaining 1-1 draw. Today, a beat up and desperate Liverpool travel to Lyon in the most interesting matchup of the day. See the rest of today's schedule here.

After going to air drunk and proceeding to have a few more on air a few weeks back, Gabe Morency's days at Hardcore Sports Radio are done. Even though he'll be doing webcasts in a few weeks time, it's a shame to see such a different voice in sports get less exposure. Morency also has a book coming in six months that will shock, he says, and also says that Hardcore Sports Radio will be done in six months. Going quietly, he is not.

I'm never going to pretend to know how a Quarterback Rating is calculated, nor do I much care, but my boy TS passed me this little nugget: if every pass a quarterback attempts falls to the ground incomplete, his QB rating is 39.6. Cleveland Brown's QB Derek Anderson's quarterback rating is 36.2.

The H1N1 shots are a big news item of late, to state the obvious. So it shouldn't be surprising that when the Calgary Flames players and family jump the line while others wait in what is supposed to be the high risk first phase, it is going to catch headlines and draw some hate. Memo to the Flames: you best be winning games and a lot of them in the near future.

Have a great Wednesday. Finish them, Yankees!
