When the Jackalopes sleep in

Dreeeeeeeamweaver: Alright, among the four ridiculous dreams I had last night, one stands out as just plain outlandish. I haven't played soccer since grade school on the pitch of C.C. Duff Elementary. In my dreams, for some reason I found a group of friends playing soccer and I got to play striker. The only problem was after I made a bad pass, somebody whom I can't remember told me I had to weedeat and edge the entire field. Somehow I hadn't noticed all the landscaping, and it actually pulled me out of the game for some time.

 In retrospect I wonder if it was my dad. But it didn't stop there, as soon as I was done with that I had to go to work.  I was going back to work at Applebee's , but before that I was watching gamecast of a Rangers and Red Sox game that the Rangers were winning 7-5. Elvis Andrus hit a home run to take the lead 8-5. But the announcers voice was sullen because after the homerun he revealed that Josh Hamilton had to sit out for the rest of the season. I don't know if this qualifies asa  nightmare or a dreamscape, you decide.
Playoffs!?!?: Both of my fantasy baseball teams are playing in "October" and both are facing steep challenges. The Shoeless Squirrels have to flip a 6-4 defecit and the only way that's going to happen is if Adam Dunn and Manny Ramirez continue to mash and Magglio Ordonez somehow remembers how to drive runners in. It kind of frustrates me that I've held on to him,  in the future I'll remember what Alec Baldwin means when he says "Fire their ass because a loser is a loser."

I'm a big Marlins, Cubs and Rangers fan (naturally) this weekend as I need saves from Nunez, Marmol and Francisco. In the other league the Lines of Selfishness really needs Justin Morneau to equal his hit total from the past ten days (3) tonight and to find some scrubs to get me some strikeouts tomorrow to flip 7-2 to my favor.  I don't know if either situation will happen, but fantasy sports always have parlor tricks waiting in the wings.

Kenny Powers Wisdom: "See in life, when you have talent, all the other shit doesn't matter. If we were on an island with no weights, and no running drills, who would be on top then? The guy with the talent."

Without further explanation: Give me these teams in these matchups, and if you really want to know why, give me a call.
UCLA vs Tennessee: Rocky Top Tennessee
Notre Dame vs Michigan: Hail, Hail to Michgian the champions of the West.
USC vs Ohio State: I'm not including their fight song, but in the spirit of old school ESPN commericals: BUCKEYE. You may think this is hypocritical, but know this, the only school to win more games than Mizzou these last three season is USC. They hold the margin by 1 victory, and couple a USC loss with a Mizzou win over Bowling Green, we have a tie!
Shot in the dark upset pick: James Madison vs Maryland: Bright in the lights of Madison, James Madison
