Overall Update: MLB, NFL, NHL, RWC and More

Sorry we haven't posted lately. We hope to catch up to what you've missed, so here here is an overall update for lots of recent sports news. First off,

MLB: What's happening in St. Louis?
For a team that was often third in the NL Central and sometimes farther back in the WC standings, and was over 7 games back from wild card going into september, the red-birds climb to glory could be described as the biggest comeback in sports history. Sure, the Rays came back from a bigger deficit, but what did they do in the playoffs? NOTHING! Zip, Zada, Zilch. But when the Cards beat the red-hot phillies, things started to look brighter. And then their good playing combined with the lack of that with the brewers, made an interesting show in the NLDS but again, they prevailed. Sure, the Rangers are up 3-2 in the WS now, but that could change with the next two games being in St. Louis. Tomorrow and Friday due to rain.

NFL; Could Green Bay Repeat?
Some may say it's too early to tell, but with the season's halfway mark insight, green bay has been putting on a heck of a show. The only undefeated team, at 7-0 it could lead you to think that they could, if not win it, at least make it to the super bowl this year. We'll see how they fare in upcoming weeks, but if they win those games, maybe, just maybe, we could be seeing a dolphin style perfect season, or at least a patriot style choke.

NHL: Pittsburgh and The Stars On Top With Jets Not Doing That Great.
Pittsburgh is on top of the eastern conference now, closely followed by the Capitals, a classic rivalry, and on top of the west is the Stars followed the Hawks. Amazingly for them, behind the Penguins and the Caps in the east is the Leafs with 11 points. I don't want to jinx it but could this be the year they at least make the playoffs? Knowing the Leafs, they will probably hold this lead for a few more moths and then crash and burn in the depths of winter, before making a good but not good enough comeback towards the end. Also, the Jets have been disappointing to their rabbid Winnipeg fans in last place in the east and 2nd last overall.

RWC: All Blacks Are Back
After the earthquake stricken New Zealand lost to Australia in the tri-nations final a few months ago, things were looking grim going into this cup. But they managed to pull it off, much to the glee of hometown fans, against france to claim the title.
