Ah, October baseball. The playoffs. Umpires screwing up terribly. Badly scheduled series. Isn't it great? Yeah we've seen some exciting games. However, now we have to wait two days for more baseball and some fans have to wait three days. Not cool, though I'm sure the build up for the NLCS will be riveting. Yankees/Angels and Dodgers/Phillies -- two very good series. It should be exciting. Maybe umpires who know what they're doing will show up for these series. My prediction? Phillies-Angels World Series. I think that would be a great series. Let's see if it happens.

Some other things important and not so important:

- We here at MAKE PLAYS know our fair share of terrible jerseys. The Canucks and Astros have had some pretty bad ones. The Blues almost had something terrible but axed it last second. However, the Broncos might win (or lose) for ugliest uniform. Hideous.

- Who thought the Raiders would have more wins than the Titans at this point in the season? If you raised your hand, you're lying.

- As ESPN "graces" the TV next to me, the broadcasters mention the NFL Trade Deadline is a week away. Too bad no one really cares about the NFL Trade Deadline. The MLB Deadline is so much more exciting.

Video of the Week: I love fancy goals. This is no exception.

The Roster

Mug

Dave Miniaci is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Daily Collegian's sports chief. He has previously been sports night chief and a sports copy editor. He has also covered men's rugby, men's track and field and field hockey. He is from New Jersey and is a big Devils fan and proud of both, and he doesn't care if you hold that against him.


Mug

Adam Clark is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Daily Collegian's sports editor. He previously covered fraternity and sorority life, crime and courts and was the Collegian's summer 2009 news/sports editor. His favorite athlete died on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500 and his favorite football team is coming off the worst six-year stretch in NFL history. He does hold it against Dave Miniaci that he's from New Jersey.


Mug

Dan Rorabaugh is a senior majoring in sports journalism and minoring in English. He is the sports copy desk chief, and was previously a reporter for the men's rugby, men's cross country, men's volleyball, women's soccer, women's basketball and men's lacrosse teams. Last year, the impossible dream happened - one of his favorite teams, the Phillies, won a championship. Now if only the Eagles could catch some of that magic, he might be able to actually find peace with sports.


Mug

Michael Oplinger is a junior majoring in media studies and political science and the Collegian's assistant sports copy desk chief. He previously covered the men's tennis and men's volleyball teams. Even though he enjoyed the Phillies' World Series victory, he misses the days of Jose Mesa and David Bell.


Mug

Eddie Gentile is a senior majoring in journalism and minoring in history. He works on the sports copy desk and previously has covered the women's tennis team, the Lady Icers and the Penn State baseball team. Gentile is your stereotypical Philly fan - he considers every game a loss until they actually win... and even then he'll probably still be moaning. Go birds.


Mug

David Rung is a senior majoring in journalism and minoring in kinesiology. He works on the sports copy desk and previously has covered the women's swimming team and the men's rugby team. Rung isn't as die hard about pro sports as his sports staff brethren from Philly and Pittsburgh, but he does take pride in being a Red Sox fan before the bandwagon started.
