Bad Sports Weekend

I find that I can’t even read the sports section this Monday morning because this past weekend was so heart breaking for Bay Area sports. Completely and utterly heart breaking. :-(

Let’s start off with the Giants. With three straight losses to the Cubs, they officially put a nail in their partially closed coffin and just kissed goodbye all hopes of making it to the playoffs. I had high hopes to see them, at least, win on Friday night, but was highly disappointed with a shut out instead. So with only a few games left, here’s to the end of their 2009 season. That sucks.

Next up, the Cal game. Where should I start with this one? Anyone who saw, heard or even knows the score from Saturday’s game…knows how bad it was. Cal lost to the Ducks 42-3…ugh, yeah, it was awful. And that’s not even the worst of it. Before Saturday’s game, Cal was ranked number 4, but now…they’re ranked number 24. Ouch. Their season is pretty much over (they’ll be lucky to even make it to a bowl game)…even I know that. See, that hurts.

And finally, the Niners. Oh man, talk about heart breaking. Watching them play brought back old memories of the golden years when the Niners were a force to be reckoned with. With two wins under their belt going into Sunday’s game, it was easy to believe that the Niners actually could take the Vikings and walk away with a win. They played such a great game, but lost in the last 2 minutes of the game and had to return home with a loss. How painful is that?

So, alas, here we are on Monday morning, depressed and ready to start the week. Great…
