Well, yesterday. 23 again 
. And for my b’day, the Chargers finally came to play. Rivers was all smiles. Yeah dude, that’s what it feels like to win! Maybe you should try it more often. Guess I don’t have to burn this SD jersey after all. At least not yet…

The Broncos didn’t win last night’s game. Sure, they had the higher score but it was really the Chargers game to lose- and that’s exactly what they did.
Maybe Turner/Rivers have a different game plan in mind than the one their fans were hoping for. Perhaps they’ve decided to throw the season in hopes the rumors around moving to LA will disappear with the Chargers playoff hopes… San Diego has few professional teams- in fact, the Chargers moved to SD after the 1960 season in LA. The Padres don’t typically excite SD fans in the playoffs and the two NBA teams to ever grace SD arenas (Rockets, then Clippers) haven’t been San Diego teams since the 80′s. I want to puke just thinking about supporting an LA football team so if the move happens, my Chargers jersey will probably burn like a Christmas tree after the new year.

I feel like a closet Chargers fan. If Tebow handles the sinking SD defense (5 game losing streak…) like he did against the Jets last week, there’s going to be a big shakeup in the Chargers organization. Rivers has thrown 17 interceptions and denies the rumors he’s hurt but you’d hope something is keeping him from looking like the QB he has in his career. If they loose another game, Norv Turner should update his resume.
The Eagles are another team desperate for a win so the Pats better look to score quick and often- should be a good game to watch.

If you haven’t been following the tennis match between the Rangers and Cardinals (which ratings suggest you haven’t), you really are missing baseball history. A little history- the Cardinals came back from a 10.5 game deficit at the end of August to secure the wild card spot. After taking care of the assumed favorite, the Phillies, you could tell they wanted this like Cosby to a jello shot. Games 1 and 2 were unbelievably close- both starters pitched into the bottom of the sixth inning the first game and the Rangers only scored their only two runs in the 9th inning of the second game. Game 3 was offensive- seriously! Both teams scored like they were playing a football game. 16 to 7 was the final, with Pujols going deep 3 times to tie the Series record. Game 4 was a brilliant display of pitching. Derek Holland was two outs away from a complete game shutout, when Ron Washington pulled him. The Rangers were up 4 runs- I say let him have his shot at history. Game 5 didn’t seem to go down as planned. LaRussa called to the bullpen in the 5th asking for Rzepczynski. Another call, some confusion, Lance Lynn came in to pitch (on little rest), and suddenly the Rangers had the lead.
And last night’s Game 6 was probably the most exciting yet. After a one day rain delay, basic baseball fundamentals seemed to go east with the storm. Once the teams swept 5 errors up on the scoreboard, the game became do or die every inning. David Freese, who committed one of the most egregious of those errors when he failed to keep a routine pop up in his glove, nailed a two strike, two out, 2 run triple in the 9th to tie it up. The Rangers came back with two more runs from a Hamilton homer in the tenth- groin injured he can still work a ball. Lance Berkman tied it up again with a two strike, two out single and we go into the 11th. The Rangers are shut out in the top and Freese, the hometown hero, absolutely crushes one to straight center, sending this Series to game 7 tonight. Check it out- 8pm EST. Even if you’re not into baseball, you can’t help but get a kick out of the dancing and gyrating Washington does in the Rangers dugout.

Jets 27, Chargers 21
And they say lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place… then how do you explain two 4th quarter interceptions that had SD fans crying a Rivers. Maybe Rex Ryan was right. Ok, I’ll rinse my mouth out with soap for that comment but Norv has to take some blame for the Chargers 2nd half of the game after coasting into half time with a 21-10 lead. Not to mention almost every play seemed to carry a neutral zone infraction against SD defense- no more tweaker like movements at the line! Ugh, just pathetic. It was their game to lose and they proved it. You can play like that against the Colts, Dolphins, or Rams but not a team that can win a game!
