Mark Buehrle pitched an absolute gem for the White Sox on Wednesday night, going 9 innings and giving up only 1 run. Unfortunately, that’s the last thing that anyone will remember about game 2 of the 2005 ALCS.

NFL Week 6 Picks October 16 2005
[These are the 2005 Picks. Get the 2006 Week 6 NFL Picks here.]
Ok folks. We’re sorry. We let you down last week. We were like the Eagles in Dallas. We were like the sequels to the Matrix. We were like last Foo Fighters album. We were like Tim Couch’s entire NFL career. We were like… well, you get the point. If we don’t do better this week, we’ll have monkeys picking the games next week by throwing feces at a board.
Don’t forget about the podcast to go along with the picks below. You can listen/download the mp3 file directly here or you can subscribe to the podcast using this feed.

Last time we were up on Vanderbilt, not feeling too bad about Tennessee, and down on LSU. We even said that Arizona State might pull off the upset against USC. Oh, how times have changed….

Heisman Watch 4th Edition
There were a lot of meaningful games last week that kept college football fans on their toes. Heisman contenders are now getting into mid-season form and it should be exciting to watch them the next couple of weeks.
Will the Rose Bowl be between USC and Texas or will someone else crash the party? Avery Smith answers these questions and more in the next installment of Bluebook Notes!
Well, time for part two of the series and I’m going to surprise you.
No, I’m not firing Joe Paterno, but I’m giving some coaches you’d expect to have 0% a tad bit higher….
The Astros! The Angels! The Cardinals! The White Sox! It’s going to be the best postseason ever!
No, seriously. There’ll be no overwrought, over-hyped, overly-annoying New York vs. Boston drama. No A-rod, no Papi. No Sheffield, no Manny. No constant droning about Bucky Dent or the Curse of the Bambino. No announcers going on and on about “the idiots” or “the boss” or whatever. And no teams that are only here because they had the bucks to buy their way in. All that stuff is so 2004 (and before).
So keep your 86 years. Keep your 26-going-on-27 championships. This year, there’s an entirely different set of numbers that matter.

NBA Eastern Division Preview
The NBA’s upcoming season should be as exciting as it’s been ever, and I have come up with equally exciting predictions. The Heat built up on talent, Larry Brown backstabbed Detroit fans by moving to New York, and the rest of the east is just itching to get started. The new season has brought new division contenders and new dismal teams. This is what I’m looking for to happen in this NBA season in the east.
I am disgusted with the NFC. No one wants to step into the driver’s seat. The three top teams in the NFC all lost and only Atlanta had a “quality” loss. The fact that we’re talking about quality losses saddens me more than Katie Holmes selling her soul for better movie roles.
Meanwhile, Indy and Pitt continue to roll along, and New England makes a statement that you can never count them out. Here are your power rankings for week 5.
