Still three down.

The Rays beat the Brewers 4-3 last night, keeping their hopes alive and forcing a game 5 tonight.

The series is now 3-1 in favor of the Brewers.

Go Brewers!

⧫
The Bruins lost 2-1 in regulation to the Hurricanes last night.

They are still in first place in the Atlantic division but have fallen 3 points behind the Hurricanes in the Eastern conference.

They are off today and tomorrow they will be in St Louis to take on the Blues.

Three down, one to go.

The Brewers beat the crap out of the Rays last night and they are now one game away from winning the World Series.

They beat the Rays 10-1 and that 1 run the Rays scored was a 2-out gift in the 9^th inning.

Game 4 is on right now and the score is tied 2-2 in the 6^th inning

Go Brewers!

The Bruins are in Raleigh, NC to take on the league-leading Hurricanes tonight.

They are just starting the 3^rd period and the score is 1-1.

No links tonight.

Yes, there is baseball tonight

The Brewers lead the series 2-0 but the next three games are in St. Petersburg at the Rays home field. Normally I would say that gives the Rays an advantage but the Rays just don't have that big of a fanbase to generate any home field advantage.

In regards to Tropicana Field, one of the Brewers gave us this observation:

He's not wrong...

Go Brewers!

The leaves are starting to fall and my new lawn tractor appears to be up to the task of keeping my lawn clean.

On Saturday I used my lawn tractor to pick up all my leaves and I couldn't help but notice that it's also still picking up a lot of grass. I know I'm old and forgetfull but I don't recall having to mow my lawn in late October.

The fall peak color is moving past us in the next week or so and that is when the leaves will really fall out of the trees. Guess we'll know then how the new tractor will do.

One down, three to go

The Brewers held on to beat the Rays 3-2 last night, taking game 1 of the best-of-seven series.

They're back at it again tonight. First pitch is at 8:00pm.

⧫
The Bruins take on the Sharks tonight and I'm hoping for a repeat of the last time they met when the Bruins beat them 6-3.

They are still in first place in the Atlantic division.

Puck drops at 7:00pm.

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!
