Titans
I'm not even going to dwell on how fugly the Titans looked against the Colts. The Titans fell victim to the same thing the Raiders fell victim to last week: their opponent was simply up for revenge.
But however pumped the Colts were....the Titans just played ugly football.
Actually, I fell asleep during the third quarter. My three hour night's sleep last night combined with the Claritin I took put me out for about an hour. When I woke up, the Titans and Colts were finished and they were at the start of the second quarter in the Eagles/Patriots game.
National League Central
The Cubs lost a 1-0 heartbreaker to the Reds. Zambrano pitched a near-gem, looking at the box score (which is what I had to do because damn WGN was showing the White Sox and not the Cubs--which is the source of my personal animosity towards the south siders). But the Cubs went hitless when they had runners in scoring position.
They won the series with the Reds. But they should have won this game, too.
On the upside, I think that pretty much wraps it up for the Cardinals. Too hard to climb 5 1/2 over the Astros.
Hell, it's going to be hard enough for the Cubs. The only thing that saves the Cubs is that they play the Mets, Pirates and Reds again from here on out, while the Astros have to play the Cardinals again for three and the Giants (for four? is that right?).
Rutherford County Invitational Sumo Basho and Krystal Eating Contest
Well, we got the Krystal Eating Contest in, and it was won by Takanohana, who downed an amazing 44 Krystals (which are the Southern equivalent of the White Castle, for those unfamiliar with the term) in the five minute contest. Dejima came in second, downing 40 in the same time period. Tennessee's own John Jay Hooker came in third, downing 38.
The Basho did not begin as planned. All who participated in the Krystal-eating contest who had also signed up to participate in the Basho were unable to wrestle. No specific reasons were given by any camp or stable.
However, many requests for more toilet paper were made by each of the camps and stables.
Plans are to rearrange the schedule for next year's competition....to hold the Krystal eating contest after the Basho.
