Dammit

The Ohtani's beat the Brewers last night, sweeping the NLCS and moving on to the World Series.

And yes, Ohtani had a hell of a game last night. As the only pitcher/hitter in the MLB, he faced 22 batters over 6 innings, giving up 0 runs, striking out 10, walking 3 and giving up 0 runs. On the offensive side of his game, in 4 plate appearances, he walked once and hit 3 home runs.

That is a fairly impressive game of baseball.

Immediately after the game, they were awarded the NLCS trophy. Here is a picture of them accepting the trophy:

I wonder what position the woman in the sweatpants and glasses plays?

In the ALCS, the Mariners beat the Blue Jays last night and are now up 3-2 in their best-of-seven series. There is no game tonight as both teams travel to Toronto for game 6 tomorrow. First pitch is at 8:00

Go Mariners!

The Very Stable Genius has commuted the sentence of Tommy Flanagan, calling him "somewhat of a 'rogue' " instead of an admitted fraud who committed identity theft, stole money from people and lied to the public about himself during his campaign.

Then again, The Very Stable Genius is a bit "roguish" himself...

The Bruins take on the Avalanche tonight. Puck drops at 9:00 so I might make it through the first period.

They need this win because as of right now, they are in 4^th place in the Atlantic division and 8^th place in the Eastern conference.

Yes, it's very, very early in the season so tracking position is kinda pointless but I feel like the better a team plays at the beginning of the season, the easier it is for them to maintain a playoff position as the season winds down in March/April.

No, I did not go protest today.

I don't protest in large groups. I protest by myself. For instance, the other day a clerk charged me $2.99 for a $1.59 bottle of water. I protested that mistake and he said "Oops, sorry" and charged me the correct price.

I thought that was a pretty successful protest.
