A loss

Last night, the Stars beat the Bruins 3-2 in overtime.

They picked up 1 point with the tie in regulation which means they remain in first place in the Atlantic division.

Their next game is tomorrow against the Predators. Puck drops at 7:00.

The Red Sox have named their interim third base coach as manager of the Worcester Red Sox.

This is a good thing. He might turn out to be a great minor league manager but he was a terrible third base coach.

There were more than a few times he sent runners home and the catcher was not only able to tag the runner out, he was able to fix his hair after he caught the ball.

On the other side of the coin, there were times he held a runner at third and, from what I saw, the runner could have not only made it home safely, he could have gotten into the dugout and had a drink of water before the catcher caught the ball.

I'm sure he's a good solid baseball guy who will do well with the youngsters in Worcester but he kinda sucked at predicting the timeframes of a throw home.

In other baseball news, the Yankees are once again looking for someone to blame for not winning a world series.

Not looking good.

The Rays beat the Guardians last night and they are now up 3-2 in their best-of-seven series.

If the Guardians lose tonight, they'll go on vacation and the Rays will move on to the World Series.

That is not the outcome I'm looking for so...

Go Guardians!

Five game winning streak

The Bruins beat the Kings 4-1 last night. With that win, they took over first place in the Atlantic division and second place in the Eastern conference.

Their next game is scheduled for Tuesday against the Stars. Puck drops at 8:00pm.

The Patriots looked great for the first half of todays game, going into halftime with a 17-3 lead.

The Jets managed to score some points in the second half but in the end, the Patriots won the game 26-19.

With that win, the Patriots are now in 5^th place in the AFC.

And as a bonus for me, when the patriots game ended, CBS switched over to the last 15 seconds of the Steelers game and I got to watch them end up in a tie with the Buccaneers. I then go to watch them win the game in overtime.

It was a good day for my footballings.

As of now, the Rays / Guardians series is tied at 2 games each and the Rays are currently up 3-0 in the 4^th inning of game 5.

Go Guardians!

Postponed game

Last nights ALCS game was moved to today because it was raining in Cleveland. That means the Guardians still lead the series 2-1.

First pitch is at 8:00 tonight so I'll probably watch a few innings before the Bruins game starts up.

The Bruins beat the Ducks last night and have moved into first place in the Atlantic division:

Tonight they are in Los Angeles to play the Kings. Puck drops at 9:00 so I'm hoping to catch the 1^st period.

The temps are supposed to drop into the 20's tomorrow morning.

Yes, we turned the heat on.

Neither one of us wants to wake up to 40° temps in the house...

The Brewers are in the World Series.

Last night, the Brewers completed a sweep of the Dodgers and won the NL pennant.

On Friday, October 23^rd they will host the winner of the ALCS in game 1 of the World Series.

I'm hoping it's the Guardians and not the Rays but no matter who it is, I've decided I'm all-in on the Brewers.

The Rays and the Guardians go at it tonight at 8:00 and I'll probably watch a bit of that game.

Go Brewers!

⧫
The Bruins are in Anaheim to take on the Ducks tonight. Puck drops at 10:00pm which means, once again, I will not be watching that game.

I did check the standings today and it looks like the Bruins have jumped into 2^nd place in the Atlantic division:

Technically they are in a tie with the Lightning but since they have scored more goals than the Lightning, they take the lead in the standings.

We are under a severe thunderstorm watch right now:

I think the meaning of the word "severe" has changed a lot since I was a kid. I seem to remember John Quill saying "A severe thunderstorm is moving towards Springfield right now!" and 10 minutes later it was like the end of the world with lightning flashing all over the place and hail smashing into the house and cars.

On the other hand, I have my generator ready to go and plenty of fuel just in case the fecal matter strikes the oscillator.
