Good hockey, bad football

First the good news: The Bruins kicked the crap out of the Predators last night, beating them 6-0 in regulation.

The Bruins dominated the ice and they played all three periods, scoring 2 goals in each period. It was a fun game to watch.

They take on the Sharks tomorrow. Puck drops at 7:00.

⧫
Now the bad news: The Patriots got beat by the Bears, losing 24-30.

Of course, the Patriots had several players who didn't play and that might have had something to do with the loss but it wasn't the entire reason.

They are now off until November 1^st when they go to Miami to play the Dolphins.

Normally, during an election year, I would be complaining about the annoying phone calls and voice messages from politicians insisting that they are looking out for my best interests and they would be forever in my debt if I were to vote for them. I hated all those phone calls.

Then I bought a new phone for my house and has a built in spam blocker and I am pleased to report that I've received only one phone call from a politician this year and it was from Angelo Puppolo, a guy I vote for all the time.

I love this phone.

The World Series starts tonight. First pitch is at 8:00 and FOX will be carrying the game.

Go Brewers!

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...
