Cheers to the Cincinnati Reds. They won the Central Division for the second time in three years. Amazingly, they have now won more games than the World Champion Reds of 1990, the greatest baseball season in my living memory.
Also, the Pittsburgh Pirates have collapsed. On August 8, they were 16 games over .500 and in a quest for their first winning record since 1992. Now they are 3 games under .500, and appear well on their way to their 20th straight losing season.
Finally, the Big Ten officially sucks. First off, Notre Dame managed to go 3-0 against the conference this year, which is the first time since 2002 that has happened. Then you have Iowa losing to Central Michigan, Michigan State struggling with Eastern Michigan, Indiana losing to Ball State, Illinois getting crushed by Louisiana Tech and other atrocities I can't remember. A BCS conference team shouldn't lose to any school who's name is "city" State University or "directional" State University. They should only lose to University of "state name" and "state name" State University for states with at least 6 electoral votes. There are these exceptions: University of Miami (Fl), Boise State University and the University of Nebraska (five electoral votes). The Big Ten has been failing this miserably this season. Right now, the MAC is looking nearly as strong as the Big Ten. That is pitiful.
