Merry Halloween

I expect to have disguised children at my door implying they will perform some kind of trick on me if I don't give them a treat.

⧫
The Yankees embarrassed themselves by giving up a 5-0 lead in the 5^th inning. And by "giving", I mean they gave the Dodgers those runs by committing three errors and generally playing like a little league team.

In the end, the Dodgers won 7-6 and flew home to LA with the Commissioner's Trophy on the plane with them.

My statement the other day, "Freddie Freeman is the big star of this series and he should be the headline, not Aaron Judge" has come true and Freddie was named World Series MVP

It is now officially the "off season" and we now get to watch the teams try to sign free agents, trade with each other and generally piss-off the fan base by doing things we don't understand.

All I really know is that Pitchers and Catchers usually report to camp in the second week of February. That means I have to wait a little more than 100 days before I can watch any live baseball.

⧫
The Bruins take on the Hurricanes tonight and I will be watching it.

They need to start winning. And by "winning", I mean they need a ten-game winning streak.

They need to get out of the cellar.

⧫
I gotta go give out candy.

Here are some links:

• Does this mean they are losing face?



• I'm pretty sure this isn't going to happen. Rich people don't get tossed out of the U.S.



• Only in Florida.



• Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting the Headline of the Year.



• Another reason I don't go to casinos.

The Judges finally won a game.

The Yankees beat the Dodgers 11-4 last night and yes, I watched the game. I'll get to the Bruins later...

Since the Judges won last night, there will be a fifth game tonight so I now have something to watch.

⧫
Yes, I also watched the Bruins and trust me when I say they played like crap. They lost 2-0 to a team with a worse record and are now listed as being in last place in the Atlantic Division

They kept passing the puck to the Flyers, they basically stopped shooting at the goal and they just flat out looked tired.

Tomorrow they take on the Hurricanes. Puck drops at 7:00pm. Hopefully they get some rest today.

I'm sick and tired of all the election bulshit. I will be beyond happy when November 6th rolls around and this is all over with.

Trump continues laying the groundwork for a claim of election interference/fraud/whatever should he lose.

I find it amazing that he never provides any proof of his claims...

Remember folks, vote for Cammy.

There will be less rodents but a lot more fun. And maybe things won't be as screwed up as they are now.

Go Dodgers!

I am underjoyed to see the Dodgers up 3-0 in the World Series but I am overjoyed to see the Yankees down 3-0 in the World Series.

Here's what I dislike about the corporation known as Major League Baseball:

Despite the Yankees being down 3-0 in the series, the headline on the MLB website is about Aaron Judge:

Freddie Freeman is the big star of this series and he should be the headline, not Aaron Judge.

Freemen has hit at least one home run, one of which was a grand slam, in all three games. This despite playing on a sprained ankle.

MLB needs to stop performing oral sex on Aaron Judge.

⧫
The Bruins face off against the Flyers this evening and I will be watching that game. Yes, I will look in on the World Series but the Bruins game comes first.

Unless they are losing. Then I'll watch the World Series.

They better not lose...

I don't ever want to hear anyone raving about how England doesn't have a gun problem. No, they don't have a gun problem, they have the same problem we do - crazy people, violent people, psychotic people, whatever you want to call them. They have the same people we do.

Stop targeting firearms and start looking at the people who need to be looked at. Stop being concerned about a tool and start being concerned about a world that allows these kinds of people to walk among us.

No hockey tonight

Guess I'll be watching the World Series tonight.

And it looks like Ohtani will be in the lineup tonight so the Judges should be worried.

Speaking of the Yankees, I was going through some old memes I saved over the years and I found this one from 2007.

The Yankees were playing the Indians (now Guardians) in the ALDS with the Indians up to bat when suddenly millions of bugs known as "midges" came rolling in off the lake.

It got so bad that a trainer came out and sprayed bug repellent on the Yankees pitcher, Joba Chamberlain.

If I remember correctly, this picture started circulating even before the game ended.

I thought this was kind of funny:

The Bruins won last night!

They had a 3-2 lead in the third period but they blew it with about a minute left in the game and the Maple Leafs tied it 3-3.

As amazing as it seems, the Bruins scored in OT, taking the 4-3 win and moving to .500 in the standings.

Don't get me wrong, they are still playing like crap and they really need to get it together. They are currently fifth in the Atlantic division which is a bad place to be in a division with eight teams...

Their next game is Tuesday against the Flyers. Puck drops at 7:00pm.

⧫
The Dodgers are up 2-0 in the world series, beating the Yankees 4-2 last night.

In a blow to the Dodgers, Ohtani injured himself stealing second by dislocating his shoulder while sliding into the bag. They call it a "subluxation" but we all know it's a dislocation.

So far, the Dodgers are saying he might be okay but they'll know more tonight after the MRI results come back. I suspect he won't be available for tomorrows game.

And speaking of tomorrow's game, they are in New York. First pitch is at 8:08pm.

⧫
As for the Patriots, they played the Jets at 1:00 this afternoon and managed to get their second win of the season.

Maye started the game but left the game in the second quarter after taking a pretty hard hit to the head. Brissette took over with 7:00 minutes in the quarter showed what happens to a quarterback who hasn't taken a snap in the last three games...

Things looked bad in the 4^th quarter with the Patriots down 22-17 but with just a few minutes left on the clock, they scored a touchdown and then a conversion to go up 25-22.

The Jets tried and came close but they just couldn't get the ball across the goal line and the game ended with the Patriots winning 25-22.

They are now 2-6 and tied for last place with the Jets in the AFCEast
