Giants, Sharks, Volleyball, Soccer, Raiders, 49ers

What a few days this is going to be. Just non-stop sports action on the TV and in person.

 
TONIGHT
Tonight, the Giants will host the Atlanta Braves in Round 1 of the MLB playoffs. This is their first appearance since 2003. Tim Lincecum takes the ball and will get the start and thankfully Barry Zito will not be pitching at all in this round -- and hopefully never will in a Giants uniform again. Zito was left off the post-season roster. Thank goodness there are no CYO participation rules in the majors.


FRIDAY
No school tomorrow, so what should you do (other than finish your homework and study)? Flip on Versus at 12 p.m. as the Sharks, yes, the Sharks start their regular season in Sweden against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Tomorrow night, the 8th graders will reach the midway point of their season with a 6:30 p.m. game at Mission Dolores. Seven minutes later, the Giants will play the Braves in Game 2 with Matt Cain on the mound.

SATURDAY
Come Saturday, the 5th/6th grade hit their halfway point of the season with a 9:45 a.m. game at CYO Serramonte. Then you can rush home to catch the Sharks play their second game of the year, still in Sweden, against the Blue Jackets.

By 2 p.m., the Sharks should have a good sizable lead, so you can then head on over to West Sunset for a St. Mary's soccer double-dip, with the 5th/6th graders playing at 2 p.m. and then 8th graders following at 3 p.m.


SUNDAY
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, you can listen to the Raiders at 1:15 p.m. on the radio, since they once again did not sell-out, OR catch Game 3 of the Giants in Atlanta -- Jonathan Sanchez gets the start. Come 5:15 p.m. it will be the 49ers vs Eagles on national television.

Enjoy it fellow couch potatoes...
