Home team advantage.

With the Mets up 2-0 and the Royals up 2-0, it looks like the home team advantage is in full play. the big question is can the Mets and the Royals win on the road?

We'll find out about the Royals tonight because they play the Blue Jays in Toronto at 8:00. As for the Mets, tomorrow night they'll be in Chicago where they will hopefully win the next two games and come home with a penant in their hands.

Mowed my lawn in the snow today.

It snowed for about 15 minutes this morning while I was out mowing my lawn.

I hope this isn't an indication of things to come....

The Mets managed to win game one last night and tonight is game two. It's gonna be a hell of a game because Thor is pitching against Superman.

I'm really hoping the Mets win tonight and head to Chicago with a two game lead because I suspect that the Cubs fans are gonna make some serious noise during games three and four.

Go Mets! Go Royals!

The Royals now lead the ALCS 2-0.

The  Mets will face the Cubs tonight. I'm hoping that tomorrow morning, when I wake up, I will find that the Mets beat the cubs and lead the series 1-0.

Busy day today.

Last week the fertilizer guy showed up and spread the winter feeding and lime. I've been hoping for rain ever since then but the little we got just wasn't enough. So this morning watered the lawn so that when I mow it tomorrow, I won't be picking up the fertilizer and the lime.

After that, it was over to my mother-in-laws house to put plastic on her porch screens. She likes to have some protection from the wind and snow so being the nice guy that I am, I spend a couple of hours covering her screens with plastic sheeting.

I know, I'm a nice guy.

After that, I took my wife and daughter over to the local pumpkin patch/apple orchard/winery and they picked pumpkins, bought hot cider and a nice bottle of some kind of wine.

I know, I'm a nice guy.

Now I'm watching baseball and struggling to stay awake. I'm not quite at full insomnia stage but I haven't been sleeping well the last two or three days.

They beat the Dodgers last night!

Tomorrow night starts the best-of-seven National League Championship Series where the Mets will host the Cubs. They'll play the first two games in New York, the next three in Chicago and the final two (if needed) back in New York.

The winner of the NLCS will move on to the World Series.

Tonight starts the American League Championship Series and I could care less. I've never been a fan of the Blue Jays and since the Royals are in the central division, I really don't know much about them.

Don't get me wrong, I'll still watch it but only because I'm DVR'ing the season opener of Gold Rush.

• Seems to me that Ryan and Leanne have their priorities in the order.



• Hillary and Bernie are gonna have a feud over "gun violence".



• Just another case of "rollerblade violence". It's only a matter of time before they ban those things.

Go Mets!

Tonight is game five of a best of five series between the Mets and the Dodgers. It will decide who is moving on to the NLCS to play the Cubs. I am, of course, hoping it's the Mets.

Go Mets!
