What SPORTS did you watch today? (2018)

Damn, I guess both defenses decided to take tonight off.

I watched the first half of the Vikings at Rams game.

Watched the Pirates lose to the Reds 3-0. Now I'm watching Ohio State at Penn State.

I watched St. Louis stave off the inevitable for another day by beating The Maddons 2-1.  Miles Mikolas picked up his 18th win.  Show me a better off-season signing than him; there isn't one.

Currently watching Stanford/Notre Dame (only because I hate ND).  I was watching the Ohio State/Penn State game until I realized this game was on.  I'm pretty neutral on OH vs PSU so I switched to this game because I have a serious rooting interest.

In the past two days I've watched about 22 hours of Ryder Cup golf.

Bengals and Falcons. Cincy leading 14 to 7 in the 2nd quarter.

NFL Red Zone

Watched the Ravens at the Steelers

Watched the Brewers relegate the Chicago Maddons to the Wildcard game.    Sure the Cubs are in the post-season and St. Louis is not but geez they sure have played erratic and lackluster baseball all year.  With that lineup they should be a juggernaut and they just aren't.

Watching the Dodgers and Rockies.

I gave up on that game; the Dodgers are clobbering the Rox.  Bueller has been one of the best starters in the NL the second half of the season.

It ended up being closer than I hoped for. Jansen gave up back to back homers in the top of the 9th.

He just hasn't been the same this year.  I don't know whether it's his heart issues or what but Jansen just hasn't been the lockdown closer we're used to seeing.

NL Wildcard game.  1-0 Rox over the Maddons already.

I agree with you. I'm kind of wondering if the heart issues are a little more serious than what's being told.


Watching the Rockies and Cubs.

Even if there's nothing more physically wrong with Jansen, something like that just has to play with your mind; it's only human nature.  Maybe he needs the winter to think about things and put everything in perspective.

I actually feel for the guy; finding out something like that would suck and make you question your livelihood.

I think the Brewers are my team to root for this post-season but I also have a soft spot for the Dodgers because they were my Dad's favorite team and he passed away this past Labor Day. 

Anybody but the Yankees or Red Sox though is fine by me.

Cubs lost!

And Addison Russell was suspended for 40 games next year!

My dad and I have always been Dodger fans. And he passed away back in August. I'm hoping LA pulls it out but it would also be bittersweet for me.

That almost makes me want to pull for LA my friend; you and I both lost our LA fan fathers around the same time.  That has an almost "karmic" feel to it.  I would definitely root for LA over any AL team but I'm just not sure I can root for them to get that far.

A's vs Yankees tonight.

It's already 2-0 Yankees in the first thanks to an Aaron Judge HR.

Is there any chance that the Red Sox and Yankees can eliminate each other?

That was the first non-competitive game this week. 

I DO like Luke Voit on the Yankees because he came to them from the Cardinals.  He was stuck in a logjam of outfielders here so we traded him.  We knew he could hit but not LIKE THIS!!  Of course if you can to a one-arm barbell bench press of 135lbs you're going to have power.
