Tampa pretty much had to have this game tonight. They certainly didn’t want to head to Ohio down two games with the next three in Cleveland. Good pitching and an unfortunate error led them to victory. We had a pitching duel this evening until the bottom of the fourth. Junior Caminero led off with a walk for the Rays and was forced out at second on a grounder by Victor Mesa. With two outs Chandler Simpson beat out an infield single with Mesa making it to third base. Ben Wiliam

There was a little more scoring this afternoon than in yesterday’s 2-1 Brewers’ win. Milwaukee got the bats going and scored seven runs on twelve hits in game two of the National League Championship Series. Los Angeles actually started the scoring in the top of the first. Mookie Betts led off with a walk, went to second on a fielder’s choice, stole third, and scored on Teoscar Hernandez’ sac fly. 1-0 LA. The Brewers tied it up in the bottom of the first as Brice Turang double

Weekend Review Saturday, October 10th The Cleveland Guardians’ pitching staff totally dominated the Chicago White Sox in clinching their Division Series 3 games to 2. The final score: Guardians 2 – White Sox 0. Cleveland starting pitcher, Gavin Williams, had a no-hitter going into the top of the sixth before Kyle Teel managed a single to right field. The White Sox actually loaded the bases in the inning but were unable to score. The only score for the Guardians came in the bo

The Cleveland Guardians staved off elimination for the second day in a row with a dramatic six-run top of the sixth, and then kept the White Sox in check for a 9-5 victory. The White Sox took the early lead in the bottom of the third. Colson Montogomery led off with an infield single. Chase Meidroth doubled to left sending Montgomery to third. Miguel Vargas walked, loading the bases. Munetaka Murakami also walked scoring Montgomery. Sam Antonacci hit a sac fly to right filed

The Cleveland Guardians finally broke out the lumber by scoring nine runs on eleven hits in defeating the Chicago White Sox. This was the Sox first loss in the playoffs after sweeping two games in the Wild Card Round and winning the first two in this Division Series in Cleveland. I guess playing on the road calmed Cleveland down a little and allowed them to concentrate on what they knew they had to do. The White Sox took an early one run lead in the bottom of the first. Sam A

There were two National League game threes on tonight’s schedule. Here are the highlights: Dodger’s ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s masterful seven inning performance, and home runs by Freddie Freeman and Kike Hernandez led LA to a 3-1 victory in tonight’s game. Yamamoto went seven innings allowing four hits and one run while striking out ten Braves. The Braves started an ace of their own, Chris Sale, who lasted five innings giving up seven hits and three runs while striking out sev

The Washington Commanders lost a bizarre game to the Indianapolis Colts in London 30- 13. The team statistics at the end of the game would lead you to believe this game was close; The Commanders out-gained the Colts 317 to 257 in total yards but had only 12 first downs (Colts had 17), both teams possessed the Football for approximately 30 minutes (1/2 the game each). Both place kickers were perfect on their attempts, Stephens 2-2 and Shrader 3-3 for the Colts. Early in the fi

There were four MLB playoff games today as the Division Series kicked off with the first games a best-of-five format. Here’s a little summary of the action: The Chicago White Sox used the highly efficient Relief-Pitcher strategy in shutting out the home team Cleveland Guardians in this afternoon’s game. Five White Sox hurlers surrendered only three hits while striking out twelve batters. Hagen Smith threw the first two and two-third innings, Bryan Hudson went just a third o

Tuesday, September 29th Tonight is the first night of Major League Baseball’s Wild Card series. The contestants are the three wild card teams from each league and the division winner with the fewest number of victories. In the National League the Atlanta Braves won the East Division but had the “worst” record out of the three division winners. So, the Braves host the wild card team with the lowest winning percentage, which in this case is the Philadelphia Phillies. The best p

The Washington Commanders broke their six-game home losing streak, defeating the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks 33 to 31 behind an inspirational effort by quarterback Marcus Marietta, who extended his personal winning streak over the Seahawks to three wins without a loss The Seahawks had won 12 consecutive games, including Super Bowl 60 last season, and dominated the game statistically. They had an 86th percentile offensive success rate –and 89th percentile de

The Washington Nationals relied on their bullpen this afternoon, sending a total of six pitchers to the mound in a 4-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers. The Nats won four and lost two in their six-game road trip to St. Louis and Detroit. They’ll finish the year at home starting Friday with a three-game series against the Mets. Today’s game was scoreless through the first five innings before Washington pushed a few runs across in the top of the sixth. Andrews Chaparro led off w

Underdogs made their appearance in week 2 of the National Football League‼️ Seven visiting teams came away with victories and five of them were not expected to win. It took just 2 weeks for the madness to surface this season and I expect it to continue throughout the rest of this season. Heading into Week 3, eight teams have yet to win a game and eight teams have not lost a game. Five games this week feature those teams head on head; Texans (0-2) @ Colts (0-2) Chargers (0-2)

I recently read somewhere that CJ Abrams wasn’t having that great of a second half of the season. If you agree with that statement then just keep on reading and see if this changes your mind. The Nationals struck first in tonight’s contest as CJ Abrams led off the top of the second inning with his 32nd home run of the year. 1-0 Washington. That’s the way it stayed until the Tigers tied it up in the bottom of the 6th. Kevin McGonigle led off the inning by striking out but

Coming off their three-game series with National League rival St. Louis, the Nats looked a little downtrodden while starting another three-game series in Detroit, Michigan. Just as an aside…why are we playing the Tigers in the last week of the season? Who okayed that schedule? Detroit started fast and then activated the cruise control. Gleyber Torres led off the bottom of the first with a walk. Hao-Yu Lee then doubled to right field scoring Torres. Eduardo Valencia sing

Weekend in review… Friday, September 18th The current ace of the Washington Nationals’ pitching staff, Cade Cavalli, won his 13th game of the season tonight with five shutout innings. Cade gave up four hits while striking out six Cardinals. He was probably taken out of the game a little early due to the Nationals having a big lead. Three relievers finished it off while only surrendering a single run. The Nationals got off to a fast start tonight in St. Louis. With one out in

Sydney Sweeney is once again discovering that modern celebrity culture has an unusual rule: women are encouraged to celebrate their independence, confidence and control over their own image — until they make a choice that certain corners of the internet dislike. The 29-year-old actress has become the center of another social-media storm after appearing in a provocative advertising campaign for sports prediction platform Novig. The campaign features Sweeney posing with footbal

This Season is off to a GREAT start‼️ we had it all in week 1-- Major upsets ( Cardinals - 49ers - Giants ) amazing comebacks (Vikings - Saints -- Commanders) exciting finishes ( Seahawks - Lions - Bills - Eagles ) Blow outs ( 49ers - Bears - Jaguars - Chiefs) Horrible performances (Rams - Chargers - Browns - Broncos) and the season has just started ‼️ The 'Game of the week' between the Bills and the Texans lived up to it’s billing. In a seesaw battle between two teams favore

Friday, September 11th Finally…the Washington Nationals scored some late inning runs and then held on for a 4-3 victory over the visiting Los Angeles Angels. Staff ace Cade Cavalli started for the Nationals. He pitched six complete innings, giving up two runs on three hits while striking out nine Angels. The Angels started the scoring in the top of the first. With one out, Mike Trout smacked his 21st home run to center field. 1-0 Los Angeles. The Nationals tied it up in the b

For the third game of the three-game series, the Nationals had a lead. But this time that lead came early and only lasted half an inning. No late-inning meltdown. Still a disappointing loss, but not as heartbreaking. The Nationals jumped out to that lead in the top of the third. Keibert Ruiz led off with a home run to right field, his 10th of the year. Nasim Nunez drew a base on balls and advanced to third when Jacob Young singled to center. James Wood walked, loading the bas

Believe it or not, the Washington Nationals did it again. Going into the bottom of the eighth with a 4-1 lead, the San Diego Padres pushed across four runs and held on for a 5-4 victory. I kid you not. Tonight’s game started out as a pitcher’s duel. The score was 1-0 Nationals through the first five innings. The lone run for the Nats was scored in the top of the second inning courtesy of Yohandy Morales’ home run, his second of the season. Washington added a couple runs in th
