College World Series (Omaha): Who will WIN this matchup?
7:00 PM

CBASE
(1) Texas (1-0)




(5) Arizona State (1-0)





I guess Texas is this year's favorite at the College World Series because they are the number 1 seed. My knowledge of Major League Baseball may seem limited, but believe it or not my knowledge of college baseball is even less. So instead of providing insight into the game, I'll ask why there hasn't been a steroid scandal in college baseball yet? Every knows it's easy to get drugs in college and I would assume that college baseball players would be rampant steroid users. I wouldn't know what kind of drug testing policies they have in college baseball because I have never been a college athlete, or an athlete of any kind for that matter, but I want there to be a steroid scandal in college baseball. Anyways, look for the Texas Longhorns to win this matchup and probably the national championship.

Who will WIN this Matchup?
10:10 PM

MLB
Oakland Athletics (27-35) Braden


@ Los Angeles Dodgers (42-22) Kershaw





I'm happy for Joe Torre and his success as the Dodgers manager, but the Steinbrenners' can die. You expect arguably the best manager in baseball to accept a one year contract offer to stay with the Yankees when he deserves so much more. Are you kidding me? Last year, he goes to the Dodgers and makes the playoffs, no doubt because of Manny Ramirez, while the Yankees sit at home and watch. This year, his team has the best record in baseball, no thanks to the cheater Manny, and Torre is looking like the best manager in baseball. Look for the Dodgers to beat the Athletics because the A's are not very good. Also, check out Torre on The Tonight Show last night, not because it's particularly funny, but because it's Joe freakin' Torre. The man is a legend and should still be the Yankees manager. And no, I'm not bitter.


U.S. Win Streak: 3
U.S. Overall Record: 6-4
