San Francisco Giants (40-50) vs San Diego Padres (41-51)
It is almost hard to believe, but with their loss to the New York Mets today, San Francisco has sunk all the way to last in the National League West.

2013-14 NCAA Previews (AAC) – Cougars
It wasn’t all that long ago that Connecticut participated in a BCS bowl (2010 Orange). Sure they may have snuck in representing the worst of the AQ conference but they were generally having successful seasons with solid 8-5 record under their former coach.
2013-14 NCAA Previews (AAC) – Bearcats
The Cincinnati Bearcats are a very good program trying to find their place amongst a realigned college football world.
White Sox (34-48) vs Rays (47-40)
The struggling Chicago White Sox dropped the opener of their series against Tampa on Friday night. It was the same old story of not getting much from their starting pitching as Dylan Axelrod couldn’t even get through 2 innings.
Braves (49-37) vs Phillies (42-45)
The Braves dropped the first game of their series against Philadelphia 5-4 Friday night. Atlanta still holds a 5 game lead in the National League East over Washington making this series way more important to the Phillies than the Braves.
St. Louis (50-33) vs Los Angeles (40-44)
St. Louis has been struggling lately with American League West clubs but they got the win yesterday over the Los Angeles Angels.
Dodgers (40-43) vs. Rockies (41-44)
The Los Angeles Dodgers have parlayed their great play of late into a big jump in the standings. Now out of the basement they enter today tied with Colorado for second place just 2.5 games behind Arizona in the National League West.
2013-14 NCAA Previews (AAC) – Cougars
When coach Kevin Sumlin left Houston for Texas A&M and was replaced by offensive coordinator Tony Levine there was great hope for a Cougars program to continue to enjoy its recent success. If last year is any indicator the run may be over as the Cougars stumbled in their final season in Conference USA.
Bet NCAAB Hoops!
Last year Louisville took home the big prize and it was hardly a surprise. They used an experienced backcourt and a fearsome defense to blow through the field winning their first championship in a long time. A very good chunk of that team returns to defend yet the Cardinals are not considered the top contender coming into this season…
Milwaukee (32-46) vs Pittsburgh (49-30)
The Milwaukee Brewers jumped all over Pirates phenom Gerrit Cole in the first inning last night scoring 3 runs but the bats went silent after that. The end result a 10-3 loss at the hands of the Bucs.
Cincinnati (45-35) vs Texas (47-33)
The Cincinnati Reds have a nice record and a solid lead on that second Wild Card spot but they are slipping in the National League Central. They used to be neck and neck with Pittsburgh but the Pirates have raced ahead of late, zooming to the top of the league standings.
St. Louis (48-30) vs Oakland (46-34)
Heading into the weekend St. Louis is tied with Pittsburgh atop the National League Central and all of baseball.
New York (42-36) vs Baltimore (43-36)
By virtue of the Yankees loss and the Orioles’ win on Thursday night New York find themselves a half game back of the O’s heading into the weekend. Worse yet, there seems to be too much focus off the field on players that are not contributing to the team at all – I wonder who that could be.
Toronto (39-38) vs Boston (46-33)
The Toronto Blue Jays did their usual thing in Tampa…lose. This time it put an end to their 11 game winning streak which tied a franchise best. The Jays were able to take at least one game from the Rays as R.A. Dickey dominated them in the finale on Wednesday.
NCAA Football Futures – 2013 AAC Season Preview
There is no conference that has had as much movement of teams as the American Athletic Conference, formerly the Big East. This year the league still has its hooks in last year’s winner, Louisville, while welcoming a host of newcomers from Conference USA.
Philadelphia (38-41) vs. Los Angeles (35-42)
For a moment it looked like the Philadelphia Phillies were going to start mounting a charge in the National League East. But with inconsistency in their everyday lineup and throughout the rotation (except for Cliff Lee) it just hasn’t happened.
