The San Francisco Giants, with about a week left of regular season baseball, are still several games back in the National League Wild Card. They are definitely a great surprise in the National League, as they were not even expected to finish above the .500 mark. The Giants pitching featuring Lincecum, Cain, and an array of solid, young relievers like Brian Wilson, has allowed this team to compete throughout the entire, 162-game season. The young, talented hitter
Pablo Sandoval, has consistently hit over .330 during the season, and has helped carry this skimpy offense, which has, by far, the fewest homeruns and walks in the National League. While I don't expect the Giants to make the playoffs this season, they certainly have caught the attention of many, and next season is certainly one I'll be excited for!The Ohio State Buckeyes
With only a few games into the season, Ohio State has fallen below the Top 10 after an 18-15 loss to Southern California last week. This week, Ohio State
beat the University of Toledo 38-0, which has bumped them to #11 in the standings. With plenty of football ahead, I expect the Buckeyes to take the cake once again in the Big Ten. Michigan, surprisingly, is 3-0, and may give Ohio State a run for their money. The Ohio State-Michigan rivalry is one-of-a-kind, and absolutely love that every game against Michigan means the world. The crowd, the energy, the excitement, and the fact that only one of the two teams can come out as victorious, never fails to lift the Ohio State-Michigan game to one that's watched all across the country. As it's always the last game of the regular season, the Ohio State-Michigan game is usually very full of BCS implications, which makes it that much more special.
Go Yankees!
