Hadn't posted two blog entries in one day in a while. Let's have fun with some AP Top 10 college football. Since several of the teams are playing for the first time, more games will be featured.
The #1 Ohio State Buckeyes host the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors. This is their first ever meeting.
The Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders visit the #2 Alabama Crimson Tide. Bama leads the series 2-0. The Tide rolled 39-34 in 2002 and 26-7 in 2005.
Stephen F. Austin visit #3 TCU. This is the first ever game between the Lumberjacks and Horned Frogs.
The #4 Baylor Bears host the Lamar Cardinals. This is their first ever meeting.
It's the game of the week! The #7 Oregon Ducks invade East Lansing to take on the #5 Michigan State Spartans. Oregon leads the series 3-2. They first met in 1979 when Michigan State manhandled the Ducks 41-17. Believe it or not, these two teams never played each other in the Rose Bowl. They have only met in September. Each of Oregon's wins over the Spartans was by 35 points or more, including last year's 46-27 win. Neither team has ever shut out the other.
The Jacksonville State Gamecocks go to #6 Auburn to take on the Tigers. Auburn should win this first ever game between the two teams, but the Jacksonville State band has a good chance to outplay the Auburn band.
Idaho invades the L.A. Coliseum to try to vandalize the #8 USC Trojans. USC leads the series 8-0. All but one of the games were played in the 1920's. They first met in 1920, when Trojans shut out Idaho 14-0. The question to ask is when did USC not shut out the Vandals? The answer is only four games. The most Idaho scored in the series was a 38-10 loss in 2010. They never went to overtime nor did they ever meet in a bowl game.
The #9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish take on the Virginia Cavaliers in Charlottesville. There has only been one other game in the series. Notre Dame rolled over the Cavs 36-13 in 1989.
RB Nick Chubb and the #10 Georgia Bulldogs run their way to Nashville to take on the Vanderbilt Commodores. Georgia leads the series 55-19-2. They first met in 1893, when Vandy rolled over the Bulldogs 35-10. They never met in the postseason. The most Georgia scored against Vanderbilt was 62-35 in 1984. The most the Commodores scored against the Bulldogs was 46-0 in 1912. The last tie happened after that shootout. The teams played to a 13-13 tie in 1985. The last time Georgia shut out Vanderbilt was 43-10 in 2010. The last time Vanderbilt shut out Georgia was 21-0 in 1961.
The #14 LSU Tigers invade Stark-Vegas to avenge last season's loss against the #25 Mississippi State Bulldogs. LSU leads the series 69-36-3. They first met in 1896, when LSU nailed the Bulldogs 52-0. Since they are SEC West foes, they haven't nor will they meet in the postseason. The most Mississippi State scored against LSU was a 55-31 win in 1980. The most the Tigers scored against the Bulldogs was 61-6 mauling in 1969. Mississippi State last shut out LSU 25-0 in 1954. The last time LSU shut out Mississippi State was 45-0 in 2007.
The #23 Tennessee Volunteers host the #19 Oklahoma Sooners. Oklahoma leads the series 2-1. They first met in the 1938 Orange Bowl, when the Vols notched their only win and only shutout in the series, 17-0. They faced each other again in the 1967 Orange Bowl and the Sooners edged Tennessee 26-24. Oklahoma won their last meeting in 2014, 24-10.
The #20 Boise State Broncos visit the BYU Cougars. The Broncos lead the series 4-1. They first met in 2003, when Boise State rolled to victory 50-12. BYU's only win came in 2013, 37-20. They never met in the postseason and neither team has ever shut out the other.
The Michigan Wolverines host the Oregon State Beavers in Ann Arbor. This is the first time these two teams are playing each other since 1986. Michigan leads the series 4-0. They first met in 1959, when Michigan won 18-7. They met once in the 1964 Rose Bowl, a 34-7 Wolverine win. The only shutout in the series was a 41-0 Michigan spanking in 1966. The Wolverines easily won their last meeting 31-12.
Good luck to all the teams playing today!
Have a great day!!

Last Place Update - September 12
One of life's constants is change...except for today's Kings of the Cellar. The 54-88 Philadelphia Phillies have a two game lead over my 56-86 Atlanta Braves. Philly is 1-7 since the last update and is enjoying a three game losing streak. My Braves are hanging with the Phillies, going 2-7 since the last update and are 3-22 since August 17.
Bringing up the rear are the 58-81 Cincinnati Reds and 59-82 Colorado Rockies. Both teams are 5.5 games behind Philly. Since Miami has been doing some winning, Cincy replaced them as the Cellar tease. The Reds are 5-5 in their last ten games and just broke a two game losing streak. The Rockies have also been doing some winning, going 5-4 since the last update and are on a two game winning streak.
The 60-81 Oakland A's continue their reign as the AL's worst team. The A's are 3-7 in their last ten games, losers of their last two. The defending Kings of the Cellar champion 68-73 Arizona Diamondbacks are 3-4 since the last update and are on a two game win streak. The Diamondbacks are 14.5 games behind the Phillies and remain no threat to repeat.Today's honorable mention goes to.83-57 Kansas City Royals. KC is 3-7 in their last ten games, losers of their last two.
The former Pittsburgh Alleghenys host the former Seattle Pilots this evening. The former Pilots lead the series against the now Pittsburgh Pirates 163-126 and the now Brewers are 10-7 against Pittsburgh this season. They first met in inter-league play in 1997, when the Brewers won 4-1. The most runs the Pirates scored against Milwaukee was a 17-10 win on August 24, 2002. The most runs the Brewers scored against Pittsburgh was a 20-0 spanking on April 22, 2010. Their longest game went to 14 innings three different times, with the last one occurring last season . On April 20, 2014 Milwaukee won 3-2, marking their only win in the three 14 inning games. Pittsburgh won the other two 2-1 (June 30, 2013) and 6-5 (April 28, 2010).
Will Philly hold on to the Cellar? Will the Rockies or my Braves kick them out? Will Cincy continue to be a tease or will Miami make a comeback?
Stay tuned.

Last Place Update - September 3
And the saga continues. The once dominating collapse of the season has turned into a real race.
The 53-81 Philadelphia Phillies continue their reign as this season's Kings of the Cellar, but now we have a new team at the door, my 54-79 Atlanta Braves. Philly is 3-5 since the last update, 1-3 in their last four games. The Braves are a game and a half back. They are 1-9 in their last ten games, losers of their last 8. Atlanta is also 1-15 since August 16, including a three game sweep by Cellar tease Miami Marlins. The 55-79 Marlins are two games behind the Phillies and are in a virtual tie with the 54-78 Colorado Rockies, also two games back. Miami is 4-4 since the last update, including said sweep. The Rockies are also 4-4 since the last update.
Today's honorable mention goes to the 69-64 San Francisco Giants. They are 3-7 in their last ten games, losers of their last five. The defending Kings of the Cellar Champion, 65-69 Arizona Diamondbacks, are 3-6 since the last update and 3-8 since August 24. Arizona is 12 games behind the Phillies. You never know.
The former Washington Senators host the Chicago White Sox in an early game. They White Sox lead the series 1,118-1037, but are 4-11 against the now Minnesota Twins this season. They first met on June 2, 1901, when the Senators won 7-5. The went to 18 innings twice in their history. On May 15, 1918, Hall of Famer Walter Johnson pitched a complete game as the Senators won 1-0. LP Lefty Williams also pitched a complete game. Times were different back then. The second time was on June 8, 1947, another 1-0 win by the former Washington Senators. Both teams were battling for the AL cellar during that game. Each team has scored 20 runs on the other twice. Chicago did it to the former Washington Senators in a 20-6 win on May 11, 1911. The second time was a 20-2 spanking on June 17, 1956. The Twins did it in recent years. On July 6, 2007, Minnesota won a 20-14 game that looked more like a game between the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears. The second time was on May 21, 2009, when the Twins nailed Chicago 20-1.
On a personal note, I'd like to wish my daughter, Lauren, a very happy birthday.
Can Philly hang on? Will my Braves take over the Cellar? Will the Marlins continue to be a tease?
Stay tuned.

Kings of the Cellar - August 26
The race heats up. At the beginning of June, there was only one team in contention for the Kings of the Cellar Championship. Now there are three.
The 50-76 Philadelphia Phillies remain Kings of the Cellar. They are 4-3 since the last update, but lost the last two games. Hot on Philly's heels are the 50-74 Colorado Rockies, who trail by a game. They are 2-5 since the last update and just broke a four game losing streak. Also a game behind the Phillies are the 51-75, and Cellar tease, Miami Marlins. As with the Rockies, the Marlins are 2-5 since the last update and just broke a four game losing streak.
Today's honorable mention goes to the 62-63 Baltimore Orioles. They are 3-7 in their last ten games and are on a six game losing streak. The defending Kings of the Cellar Champion 62-63 Arizona Diamondbacks are 4-3 since the last update, losers of their last two games. The Diamondbacks are 12.5 games behind the Phillies, but the season isn't over yet.
The former Milwaukee Brewers...no, not those Milwaukee Brewers. Okay, let's use another version of this team. The former St. Louis Browns continue their series against the Kansas City Royals. At least the Royals is the only name this team has ever gone by. The now Baltimore Orioles lead the series 260-206, but have lost four straight to Kansas City dating back to last season. They first met on May 9, 1969, then the Royals notched their only victory against Baltimore until 1971, winning 4-2. The longest game went to 16 innings twice, first on May 28, 1979 (Royals won 5-4) and June 15, 1996 (Royals won 7-6). The most runs each team scored against the other was 15. Baltimore won 15-5 on May 9, 2003 and Kansas City did it twice. The Royals won 15-2 on August 16, 1992 and 15-5 on April 29, 1999. They only met in the playoffs once and that was the ALCS last year, when the Royals swept the O's 4-0.
Will Philly hang on to drink all of the beer in the Cellar? Will the Rockies fall far enough to evict the Phillies? Will Miami stop being such a tease?
Stay tuned.

Oh Miami, you're such a tease. Just when you think the Marlins would take the cellar, as Lucy did with Charlie Brown, Miami pulled the football at the last second.
The 46-73 Philadelphia Phillies remain Kings of the Cellar. However, there is new competition on the scene. The 48-69 Colorado Rockies, with their 2-8 record in the past ten games, are only three games behind the Phillies. Philly is 4-6 in their last ten games, losers of their last four. The 52-69 Oakland A's have overtaken the 53-66 Boston Red Sox as the AL's worst team and enjoy a two game lead over the Red Sox. Oakland just snapped a seven game losing streak, but they still have to work to hold on to the title.
Today's honorable mention goes to former Kings of the Cellar champion, the 59-59 Washington Nationals. They're 3-7 in their last ten games and 5-13 since July 31. The defending Kings of the Cellar Champion 58-60 Arizona Diamondbacks are 12.5 games behind the Phillies and 8-9 in August. At this point, barring a collapse, Arizona is no threat to repeat.
So what happened to Miami? The 49-70 Marlins, on the cusp of restocking the cellar fridge with beer, did some winning and are now in a dead heat with the Rockies at three games back. No, it's not a monumental accomplishment, but then again, we're not talking about the race for the World Series. Miami is 6-4 in the last ten games, winners of four straight. They face the 51-70 Milwaukee Brewers and Philly this week, so that winning may continue. Or they may tease us again and lose.
The former Philadelphia Athletics host the former Brooklyn Atlantics today. That's what the Oakland A's and Los Angeles Dodgers were called in their first years of play. The A's lead the series 21-14, winners of their last three meetings. They first met in the 1974 World Series, when Oakland won 4-1. The next time was in 1988, when the Dodgers also won 4-1, featuring an injured Kirk Gibson's Game 1 game winning homerun. Their longest game went to 17 innings on June 17, 2006, when the A's won 6-5. The most runs Los Angeles scored on the A's was 7, in a 7-1 win on August 28, 1997 and an 11-7 loss on July 13, 2001. The most runs Oakland scored on the Dodgers was on June 11, 1999, a 12-6 victory.
Can Philly hang on in the cellar? Will the Rockies take over or will Miami stop being such a tease and get the job done?
Stay tuned.

This is getting to be fun. What was a dominating performance is now a real competition. The current Kings of the Cellar, the 45-69 Philadelphia Phillies, is only half a game in front of the collapsing 45-68 Miami Marlins. The Phillies are on a two game losing streak, but Miami is keeping it interesting by going on a two game winning streak. The AL's worst team right now, the 50-63 Boston Red Sox are no threat to either team by being 5.5 games behind Philly.
Today's honorable mention goes to the New York Jets. Yeah, I know it's not baseball related, but how often does a 6th round draft pick from last season seal his fate by breaking the jaw of the starting quarterback? Geno Smith will be out for six to ten weeks. An honorable mention also goes to the New Orleans Saints' defensive staff for its personnel assignment woes during the Black & Gold scrimmage. If that continues, a 7-9 record may be the least of their worries.
Okay, die-hard baseball fans, today's honorable mention also goes out to two teams. The 61-50 New York Yankees and the 61-53 Houston Astros are sporting matching four game losing streaks. The Astros are 3-7 in their last ten games while the Yankees are 4-6 in their last ten.
The defending Kings of the Cellar Champion, the 56-56 Arizona Diamondbacks, host Philly tonight. The Phillies lead the series 64-57 and are 3-2 against Arizona this season. However, the Diamondbacks won the last two games. They first met on May 7, 1998 and the Phillies won 4-1. These two teams never met in the postseason. They went to extra innings 14 times, with Philly going 6-8. Speaking of extra innings, their longest game went to 18 innings on August 24, 2013. Arizona won that game 12-7. The most runs the Phillies scored on the Diamondbacks was on August 20, 2009, when they won in a rout 12-3. The most runs Arizona scored on Philly actually happened over the last two days. The Diamondbacks spanked the Phillies 13-3 on Monday and 13-1 yesterday.
Will Philly hang on to the beer in the cellar? Will Miami take over? Will Boston continue to stand outside the door as an also-ran?
Stay tuned.

Last Place Update - August 4
Ah, the game's afoot! The 41-65 Philadelphia Phillies' dominance of the beer in the cellar has almost disappeared. For now, the Phillies are still Kings of the Cellar. They lead the 43-63 Miami Marlins by two games and the 44-63 Milwaukee Brewers by 2.5 games. The 47-59 Boston Red Sox ended their rapid descent to the cellar and even allowed the 47-60 Oakland A's to reign as the AL's worst team right now.
Thanks to Philly's going 3-2 since the last update, the 1962 New York Met's record of futility is safe for another year.
Today's honorable mention goes to the 56-49 Los Angeles Angels. They are 2-8 in their last ten games and just broke a six game losing streak. However, their losing streak cost the Angels the lead in the AL West, which the former Kings of the Cellar Champion Houston Astro's now own.
The defending Kings of the Cellar Champions, the 51-53 Arizona Diamondbacks are treading water and appear to be no threat. They are 11 games behind the Phillies and are 7-3 in their last ten games.
Philly faces the NL West leader, Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. According to mcubed.net, the Phillies are 922-1,179 against the Dodgers, dating back to 1890, including a 1-3 record against them this season. They first met on April 28, 1890, when the Brooklyn Bridegrooms spanked the Phillies 10-0.
Will Philly hog all the beer in the cellar? Will Miami kick in the door and take over?
Stay tuned.
