My Plano East Panthers must wait until next year to avenge last night's game. Stay in the fight, Panthers. Next year. . .

Second Saturday - October

Come on, Dodgers! One run. Just one little run? Let's even out that series, no?

  • Dodgers vs. Brewers - Friday night's game
  • Dodgers vs. Brewers - 3:09 P.M. CDT
  • Astros vs. Red Sox - 709 PM CDT - My husband is an Astros fan. I think the BoSox have the moxie this year. Unless the 'Stros look at the Rays' playbook and figure out how to beat them since they were 4-2 against the Beantown crew.

MLB Post-Season

Sunday's Games:
  • Milwaukee Brewers at Colorado Rockies - game three of the NLDS (These teams may be like the mythical wrestler Antaeus who never lost as long as he touched home - the earth Gaia)
  • Los Angeles Dodgers at Atlanta Braves - game three of the NLDS (I want to be wrong and let my boys in blue have lots of good rest for their future opponent)
Okay, so I got 0.500 but wanted to be .000 with the Dodgers sweeping the Braves. We still cool, @BeatTheFreeze. 

Today's Games:

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.
