The Wide World of Sports* (10/02/18)

*Well, only the ones I care about.


Someone hit the "A" button



MLB Playoffs!

National League


So this is how crazy things got. There were two ties for divisions at the end of 162 games! So this is what happened on Monday: 
Game 163: Brewers 3, Cubs 1. Brewers win the division.
Another Game 163: Dodgers 5, Rockies 2. Dodgers win the division and will host the Braves in a best of 5.
Both of the losers, the Cubs and Rockies will play each other in the wildcard round. The winner will play the Brewers in a best of 5. The loser goes home.

American League

Boston will play with the winner of the Yankees/A's one game playoff. If there is a God in heaven the Yankees will lose on a 316 foot homerun in their shitty little ballpark (HR record? Whatever, my high school field was bigger).

In the other best of 5, Cleveland will take on Houston.

NFL + Fantasy

Season finally started. My Fantasy Team is The Vortex of Suck because of how I finished last year. Here's my roster this year:

QB's: I started Ryan (45) over Roethlisberger (23). Yep.
RB's: I started Elliot (33) and Yeldon (22); benched McCaffrey (bye).
WR's: I started Green (13), Ridley (17), and Ginn (0)(flex); benched Fitzgerald (2) and Thomas (1). The "Riddler" got off with 2 more TD's for Atlanta. And I just picked him up because he was a Bama boy.
TE's: I started Howard (0); benched Engram (0) and Hooper (1). Wow my TE's aren't helping me at all.
Defense: Jacksonville (17)
Kicker: Boswell (6)

Total 153, with nothing left on the bench, and won my matchup by 75 points. I'm now 3-1. Wow.

Also Bengals 37, Falcons 36 on a last second TD. Now 1-3. Ouch.
