What SPORTS Did You Watch Today? - 2017

Looking at the box score this looks like it was a bullpen start for the Pirates.

Looks like Gift got his first major league hit too.

Watched the Cardinals win game one of today's split doubleheader with Toronto even though they tried like hell to give the damn game away.

Man the Cardinals are playing some ugly baseball this season.  Today it was two more errors in the field, another man picked of at second base (the third at that base in a week and 4th overall in a week), running into outs on the bases while you're still several runs down and walking guys left and right. 

But despite all that and being down 4-0 after 6 today the Cardinals rallied, tied it up in the bottom of the 9th and Matt Carpenter hit a grand slam in the 11th for the 8-4 win.  Good thing the Blue Jays bullpen is a dumpster fire.

Cards won game 2 as well, 6-4.

Back to .500 after starting the season 3-9.

Watched the Penguins beat the Capitals 3-2 to take the first game of the series.

The last few minutes of that game were simply intense.

Watched the Braves beat the Brewers 10 to 8 in 10 innings.

Watched the Cards finally get over .500 beating the Reds 7-5.

Watched the Pirates offense explode and beat the Marlins 12-2. Where was this earlier this season? Osuna goes 4 for 5, Ngoepe in his first start goes 3 for 3 with two walks,a triple and his first major league RBI, and Taillon finally gets some run support to back up his stellar pitching. Let's hope it continues.

In the Cards game last night I saw something I've never seen before.  I mean I've seen guys get picked off at third before but not immediately after a walk to the batter.

I'm sure Reds fans aren't laughing though.

Currently watching the Cubs at Red Sox.

This is like watching the Patriots play the Rams.  Can't both teams lose????

Currently flipping back and forth between the Pirates @ Marlins and the Penguins @ Capitals. The Bucs are winning 3-0 and there is no score in the hockey game after one period.

Ivan Nova pitched a fantastic game, going the complete game and only 3 hitting the Marlins. The Pirates win 4-0.

The Pens and Caps are tied 1-1 in the 2nd period.

Nova has been pitching really well for the Pirates.

Penguins take game 2 6-2 and actually make it look rather easy. Love having a 2-0 series lead.

Took a break from cutting grass because some rain rolled through so I turned on the Pirates @ Marlins game. The Pirates are winning 3-0 in the top of the 2nd.

Typical Pirates. Only they can squander a 3-0 lead and fall behind 8-3. This win would have put them at .500 but naturally they fail badly.

Cardinals are in the process of blowing a 4-0 lead. Leake left after 6 with a 4-1 lead.   It's now 5-4 Reds in the top of the 9th.

I saw the NHL Entry Draft lottery last night; easily the strangest one ever.

Flipping between the Pirates @ Reds and Capitals @ Penguins.

Wow seeing and hearing Keith Jackson is quite a shock. Age has really taken a toll on him but at 88 years old I guess that should be expected. Still a shocker though.

Me too

I'm flipping between RAW and Pens/Caps.

I'm flipping between the Cardinals game and RAW.

Neither are very interesting right now.   The Cards are losing 4-2 to the Brewers and RAW is...well RAW.

This pisses me off. Why in god's name is Tyler Glasnow pitching in the Majors? 22 pitches,no outs and down 3-0 already. He starts and it's an automatic loss.

That's what I say every time the Cardinals bring in Jonathan "Fatboy" Broxton from the bullpen.  Hell, might as well throw me out there; I can have an ERA over 9 for a lot less money than he's getting.
