I went to bed last night stunned. I had just watched the Minnesota Twins come back from a 6-1 deficit to beat the Chicago White Sox 7-6 in extra innings. Next, when I turned to ESPN to see what they had to say, I then found out that wasn't all that happened. The #1 NCAA College Footbal team, the USC Trojans were trailing the Oregon State Beavers 21-14 in the 4th quarter. Both teams would score again, but the Beavers ended up winning 27-21 becoming the first team to knock off a #1 team since 1990. Yet, that wasn't the end of the crazy night in sports. The New York Mets had a needed walk-off hit to beat the Chicago Cubs 7-6 in a regular 9 inning game. Then, the Milwaukee Brewers won on a walk-off grand slam to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates in another crazy game. The sports analysts had to be going crazy because I knew I was. The Brewers and the Mets are tied with 3 games remaining, while the Mets are 1 game behind the Phillies. The Twins are half a game ahead of the White Sox, and that is after sweeping the White Sox in a 3 game series. Man, times like this is why I absolutely love sports.
