Another reason why St. Louis should lose!

The St. Louis Cardinal's pitcher, Jeff Suppan, will appear in a commercial urging the voters of Missouri to oppose stem cell research and vote against Amendment 2 to the State's Constitution. I strongly support stem cell research and don't think that Jeff Suppan, who does not have a terminal illness, should use his athletic success to sway voters. I'm sure if Suppan had a relative suffering from Alzheimer's or Parkinson's or some other illness where stem cell research could potentially help, he would feel very differently.

I hope St. Louis dies a bloody death in the World Series.

Go Tigers!

Can Michigan State football rebound?

Things are looking not so good for the Michigan State Spartans who are now 3-4. Can they have a miraculous turnaround in terms of their luck and morale and finish the season respectably? History says no, but there is a first time for everything. With five games remaining and three of them away games, I must admit, that I am rather doubtful. The remaining five games are Northwestern (on the road), Indiana (on the road), Purdue (at home), Minnesota (at home), and Penn State (on the road). I predict that the Spartans will be Northwestern on Saturday prompting a turnaround of their season, but if they do not succeed at beating Northwestern and Indiana, I suspect that they will lose their last 3 games (since they are against good teams). These next two games are crucial for the Spartans. Let's hope for the sake of John L's job and Drew Stanton's professional career that the Spartans can bounce back.
