Colorado Rockies won. . . on short rest. Yikes.

I admit it. I went to bed during the extra innings so that I could get some sleep. My husband stayed up but didn't tell me the results. He knew I was out for the count. You already know I picked incorrectly. Cautious congratulations to the Colorado Rockies for outlasting the Chicago Cubs last night/early this morning. Tonight features Moneyball vs. Moneybags. Home team prevails unless the As get the jump on the Bombers.

Week Three Means an "A" for Me!

I managed to pick 90 percent of my NCAA football results correctly, thanks to "walk-off" field goal by LSU and a predictable result of the Ohio State-TCU game. I was glad the Horned Frogs gave the Buckeyes some food for thought and not just a welcome mat. Good show! Now my beloved USC Trojans on the other hand. We have some work to do, Men of Troy! Fight on!

Juan Soto got tossed in the 6th inning. Time to learn a lesson, young man. You cannot argue balls and strikes with Blue. And if Blue says to let it go, then you let it go. Period.

Broom Time in Bean Town

MLB

The Red Sox swept the Yankees, and the Orioles beat my Rangers. There are only fifteen wins separating the two ball clubs. Yikes. I'm glad we aren't in the AL East. The AL West is no picnic grounds with the Astros and Athletics in the house. Yikes.

Monday's Lineup
  1. Minnesota vs. Cleveland
  2. Cincinnati vs. NY Mets
  3. St. Louis vs. Miami
  4. NY Yankees vs. ChiSox - the South Side will pay the price for the previous weekend. Oy.

For the first time since May 2016, the Texas Rangers swept the Houston Astros. I was shocked when my boys from Arlington managed to end an exciting third game in the win column.
