So Cal Monday Night
Colon couldn't finish the 2nd inning, and that was just the first of several significant events that extended the second inning into the fist quarter of Monday Night Football.
Irvin Santana gave up 2 upon entering the game, but his boys got him 5 in the next two at bats. Santana put 2 on to start the 5th, and despite the stunned objections of both Joe Buck and Tim McCarver got his way out of it without having anyone warming in the Angels' bullpen.

When the former Nebraska punter crashed his way into 2nd base I could hear Jim Rome screaming the words "red ass" somewhere and smiling, kind of, but still trying to look tough.

Yes, Joe Buck people do forget Giambi came up as a 3rd basemen.

Gary and Bubba collided in a field somewhere and the fates of cities are alters for the nest month

Johnson gets out of trouble in the 6th.

2318: Did I just see Bernie Williams last at bat in a Yankee's uniform?

Derek Jeter leads off with a single. A-Rod who has never shown a shred of clutchness in seasons past, and who went the entire series without a single RBI is up, will he finally vindicate himself from past shortcomings...

5-4-3 double play. Had he simply struck out the Yankess would have tied the game, at least. Giambi singled and so did Matsui.

Vlad runs, smiles, and pulls his shirt tale out from inside his pants.

San Diego
I had just thought to myself that Hines Ward is pretty darn tough for a wide receiver. He seems to always just straight up. He took a hitch and got 9 yards and a first down by just running hard.
Just after losing the lead
Bettis runs hard.
Near the end of the 3rd quarter John Madden and Al Michaels were commenting on the jiggly possibilities that shake down when Jerome Bettis is running. Madden not the sveltist of figures himself commented that, "There is a lot of pressure on that belt." Bettis then used those Hall of Fame feet to get around the corner on the Chargers defense and get a first down.

Sports are fun.
