In baseball the American and National League Championship Series are underway, with both the ALCS between the Boston Red Sox and the Houston Astros, and the NLCS between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Milwaukee Brewers tied at a game each.
Time for something new on the blog, hope you enjoy.
Best and Worst of the Weekend.

Best and Worst of the Weekend.
My favorite morning TV show is the Dan Patrick Show, and every Monday they have callers give their BEST and WORST of their sports weekend, and then The Danettes give their personal picks.
My BEST. 👍
🏈 My Michigan Wolverines ran all over the Wisconsin Badgers Saturday Night, beating the powerhouse Big Ten West Champions 38-13 at Michigan Stadium.
Michigan's win vaulted my beloved football team to #6 in this week's Associated Press poll as they prepared to play their instate rivals, the Spartans from East Lansing.
My favorite football player, Tom Brady, led the New England Patriots to a 43-40 win over the previously unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football.
It was the 200th regular season NFL win for the former Wolverine quarterback.
⚾️ In Game 1 of the ALCS in Boston Friday night Justin Verlander beat the BoSox, making him the big league pitcher with the 2nd most wins in playoff baseball history.
I predicted a Astros/Brewers World Series before the playoffs started, so both teams are looking good so far.
😁❤ Speaking of looking good, let's remember to check in every day this month with Collecting Cutch , as he continues to help raise awareness of the deadly disease that is breast cancer....it's worth our time to read his daily posts...oh, and there's also pink Andrew McCutcheon baseball cards.
⚾️Brewers fans certainly have much to cheer for after beating the Dodgers in Game 1 with the help of reliever Brandon Woodruff smacking a homer of L.A. ACE left hander Clayton Kershaw.
Woodruff was most certainly impressive, as are a couple of his biggest fans, including Megan, That Girl on Deck.
I'll tell you right away that you better be prepared when interacting with Megan, who knows just as much about baseball...probably more, than most of us do.
Since I interact with Megan on Twitter, I can tell you that you'll not come across a more passionate baseball fan that the Indiana graduate and social media expert.
⚾️😁 Front Row Amy, (a CUTCH favorite), was also in attendance.
I know of Any, but she's not nearly as active on Twitter, so I know less about her, but I do know that she is a awesome Brewers fan who sits in the Front Row keeping score of all the big Brewers games.Go
They both had an excellent view of the Brewers win, with Marlins Man (middle), right there with them.
🤤 My WORST. 👎
When your favorite team, quarterback, and pitcher win games well, there's little to dislike, but here goes.
⚾️ Clayton Kershaw.
The 3-time N.L. Cy Young Award winning lefty has long had trouble in the playoffs, and Friday night wasn't any different.
Kershaw's line... 3 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, as the Brewers beat the Dodgers.
Game 3 of the NLCS is tonight at Dodger Stadium.
🏈 Nebraska Football.
For the first time in their history, 129 years, the Cornhuskers are 0-6.
First year coach Scott Frost, a Husker alum, certainly didn't expect this when he agreed to join his former team after leading the University of Central Florida to an undefeated season in 2017.
🏈 Jalen Ramsey.
The All-Pro cornerback for the Jacksonville Jaguars likes to run his mouth about anything and everything when all's going well for the Jags, but after the Cowboys beat the boys from the First Coast, Ramsey had nothing to say but mumbled nonsense, asking reporters to "get the interview over with quickly."
I have respect for player's talents, but when guys like Ramsey can't handle reporters questions after losing...well, maybe you shouldn't be yapping your mouth every other game.
Well, that'll do It for today... I hope all your teams had a terrific weekend, and if your team's still playing baseball, keep on cheering as passionately as possible, because the playoffs aren't a given, so enjoy.
PLAY BALL! ⚾️

My apologies for the parts that are darker. Tried to fix it. Serious operator error.
ReplyDeleteMy Best: Packers and Seahawks both won... while the Bears lost.
ReplyDeleteMy Worst: Cowboys and Vikings won.
Anytime the Vikings win it's an automatic worst. Good job.
