😐 Well, that was a whupping!

MLB

The Nationals have a 2-0 lead in the World Series. I'm wondering if there is a sweep in the making for the Houston Astros. Hubby actually turned the game off in the seventh inning to watch an episode of The Office on Netflix. We will see how things are on Friday evening in Washington.

Washington Redskins at Minnesota Vikings

Rationale: The 'Skins have not put up much offense since before or after Jay Gruden was sent packing. Now the death spiral begins in earnest.

The Nats Take the Lead

MLB

My husband is a Houston Astros fan from his boyhood. Me, not so much. I listen to him celebrate and groan about each at-bat, great play, and home run. They are behind, so it was a somber atmosphere at bedtime. For his sake, I hope the 'Stros notch up a victory tonight.

How fitting that we beat the NY Yankees in the last two games at home. And struck out Giancarlo Stanton to end the game on Sunday afternoon. I love my Big G, but not when he plays my Rangers. So long to Globe Life Park from this Texas Rangers fan. You served us well. #TogetherWe
