(TITLE OF U2 EP)

That's right, I'm "Wide Awake In America".

Don't worry, I ain't leaving you until the Cal-ASU game ends. My man Ted Robinson is doing the play-by-play, and as they returned from halftime the director chose to show a highly zoomed photo of the full moon (or nearly full...what is that? Gibbous? Anyway....). And Ted failed to mention the obvious: that he's standing next to a "full Moon". Warren Moon. His partner in the booth, who would be full if he'd partaken of the halftime chow.

I've been writing too long today.

The Rockies are down 9-5 in the top of the ninth. They had two on, two out in the 8th with Matt Holliday up. Just what they wanted. But Holliday flied out just shy of the warning track to Manny Ramirez....when Manny steps up to the plate for his first at-bat tomorrow night, I do hope the Rockies' sound people play Joe Cocker's "You Can Leave Your Hat On."

Dimitri Nance just scored his third rushing touchdown of the evening for the Devils. ASU leads 21-20.
