Finally. Finally. Finally.

Greetings! Just a couple of programming notes. I've deleted both my Twitter account (@LadyGridiron) and Lady Gridiron Facebook pages. Just time to let them go. I'm still here via the blog, so that's the best way to keep up. I am excited that I will see live baseball once again. So excited!

Congratulations to Mike Trout and Cody Bellinger, two of my favorite MLB players on winning MVP for the AL and NL, respectively.

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.
