Good day for Boston sports

The Bruins and the Penguins went at it today and it was a tight game through all three periods. Fortunately the Bruins managed to keep their one run lead and they won the game 4-3.

With six games left in the season, it looks like the Bruins will face either the Sabres or the Senators in round one of the playoffs. I'm guessing it'll be the Sabres who will squeak into the last wild card slot. Since the Bruins are in first palce, they will start the playoffs against the last place wild card team.

In baseball news, The Red Sox and Orioles played again this afternoon. The Red Sox have a new hero and his name is Adam Duvall.

Sale has a terrible outing, giving up seven runs over three innings. His pitches weren't fooling anyone and the Orioles were hitting the crap out of him.

The game went to the ninth inning with the Orioles up 8-7 and two outs. Yoshida came up to bat and hit a simple pop fly to left field that should have ended the game but the Orioles left fielder dropped the ball. That put Yoshida on first base and Duvall up to bat.

The first pitch was a ball low and inside.

The second pitch was over the heart of the plate and Duvall drove the ball to the top of the wall for a two-run home run, giving the Red Sox the 9-8 win.

The rubber match of this series is tomorrow at 1:35 and I will be watching. The Red Sox winning their first series would be a great thing.

The NASA plan for Ingenuity was to make 5 flights over 30 days.

It has made 48 flights over 712 days.

Those robots are freakin' amazing.

The Professor made her world famous baked-stuffed shrimp casserole. I'm gonna watch the post game talking-heads on NESN for a bit, listen to the thunder as the storms roll into town and then find some crap to watch on my television.

• I kinda liked his post-game analysis. He was the only one who never told us what he would have done, he just told us what the players / mangers did right or wrong.



• Two key entries from our favorite police log:
  12:26 a.m. A man was sitting outside his house where he suspected his wife was having an affair. The dispatcher responding to the call recommended he not confront his wife.
  
  12:45 a.m. A woman called dispatch, concerned that her husband was sitting outside their house. The dispatcher recommended against confronting him and filing for divorce instead.
