It's hockey night tonight!

The Bruins take on the Senators at 7:30 tonight.

The Senators have only played 1 game this season while the Bruins have played 3 so their difference in the standings is kinda weird. For instance, since the Senators won the only game they played, their win/loss percentage is 1.000 while the Bruins have lost 1 of their 3 games so their win/loss percentage is 0.667

I bring this up because it's anyone's guess who is the better team. For all we know the Senators just got really lucky and won that game on a fluke.

It should be a good game tonight.

Time to see how my choices for the MLB playoffs are doing:

So far, the Padres aren't doing too well but the White Sox are doing okay.

Today the White Sox will take on the Guardians at 5:00 and the Dodgers will take on the Braves at 8:00.

A win and a loss

The Bruins beat the Jets on Friday but they lost to the Wild on Saturday.

It's too early in the season to start looking at stats so I won't blab about the fact they are now 2-1 and have 4 points. What I will say is that games that start after 8:00 at night don't end until almost 11:00 and that kinda sucks for me and my need for sleep.

Thankfully they are back in Boston for the next 3 games so I might atually make it through all 3 periods of those games.

In football, the Patriots held off the Bills and won todays game 29-26.

I thought Maye played pretty well, scrambling when he needed to and making decent passs.

Next Sunday they take on the Raiders.

It's hockey night tonight

The Bruins are in Winnepeg to take on the Jets. Puck drops at 8:00 tonight.

My hopes for the Bruins this season are that they continue on the same path they were on last season but that they stay healthy this season. They played great hockey last year but injuries really put a dent in their wins. Having McAvoy out for a big chunk of the season did not help them in the standings.

There is no baseball today. The divisionals start tomorrow.

The White Sox will take on the Guardians at 1:00 on TBS.

The Padres will take on the Brewers at 8:30 on FOXSports1.

I'll probably watch the White Sox but the Padres are not only on too late for me, they are also on a channel I don't subscribe to.

I might watch some of the Yankees / Rays game at 6:30. We'll see how my day goes...

Damn it to hell

The Red Sox are on vacation.

The only wildcard series left is the Phillies/Braves and that will be decided tonight at 8:00.

As for me, I'm guessing I'll be rooting for the White Sox in the AL and the Padres in the NL.

Thank goodness it's both hockey and football season...

Darn it to heck

The Red Sox got their ass kicked 9-0 last night. They were not hitting well at all and the three hits they did manage to get were lucky. In my opinion, they couldn't score a run if the Yankees left the field.

Hopefully tonight goes a lot better for them. I know my youngest and his daughter are both wearing their lucky Red Sox shirts.

As for the rest of last nights games, here are the results:

Unlike the Red Sox, the Bruins did great last night, beating the Rangers 3-0.

They named Pastrnak as their captain last Sunday and this was their first game with him on the ice as their official leader. Last season they had two assistant captains, Pastrnak and McAvoy and apparently this year they decided they needed a captain. McAvoy is still assistant captain and joining him as the other assistant is Hampus Lindolm.

Swayman had a great game, saving 100% of the 24 shots the Rangers took on his goal.

They are back at it on Friday when they go to Winnipeg to take on the Jets.

The old lawn tractor has a new home.

The guy who picked it up drove it for a bit and said he knows exactly what is wrong. He seemed confident he could fix it.

I hope he gets a good many years out of it. It's a good machine that didn't let me down for 13 years (yes, I found the date of manufacture and it was made in 2013) so I'm glad someone got it who can keep it running.

I'm too old to mess with a v-twin small engine. Too many moving parts and way too many seals/gaskets that I can screw up.
