With Joe Torre taking over as the Dodgers' manager, Yankees-Dodgers is must-see baseball theater. Again.

Two weeks after B.J. Schumacher regained his mojo, the Xtreme Bulls Tour is back in San Antonio for an encore. And for all those, including Cory Melton and Kanin Asay, who barely missed out on claiming Schumacher's crown, it may be their time to shine.

Heading into San Antonio, Luke Haught was hardly a blip on the world title race radar. In fact, he finished 45th in the world standings in 2006. But that could change very soon. Haught rode two bulls for 171.5 points to win his first Xtreme Bulls title.

B.J. Schumacher's world title hangover lasted exactly one stop on the Xtreme Bulls Tour. And all it took was a little XS Energy and Red Carpet treatment.

Jarrod Ford has been in a slump. At the 2006 Wrangler NFR, he didn't earn a single dollar. Rather than 2007 being a chance to start fresh, Ford rode as though the slump might be carrying over. Then he arrived in Rapid City and managed a solid ride.

There are plenty of reasons why B.J. Schumacher was able to capture his first world championship in 2006, but near the top of the list would have to be the Xtreme Bulls Tour.
