I'm not sick.

My wife and daughter were feeling poorly last night.

They claim to be feeling okay today but I'm skeptical and I'm trying to avoid any contact with their germs.

Wish me luck.

The Yankees went One-And-Done for the American League Wild Card slot last night. Houston is moving on to play the Royals in a best of five series.

Tonight, the Pirates will host the Cubs in the One-And-Done battle for the National League Wild Card slot.

I like the Cubs but as I may have mentioned once or twice, I'm rooting for the Pirates for two reasons: I've always been partial to the Pirates and if I don't root for them, my cousin Paddy will beat me up.

She's a tough kid.
