The Wide World of Sports* (10/11/16)

*Well, only the ones I care about.

MLB

NL: The Giants beat the Mets 3-0 in the one game wildcard round to advance and face the Cubs. Chicago currently leads that series two games to one.

The Dodgers and Nationals have split the first two games of their series.

AL: The Blue Jays beat Baltimore in their wildcard game 5-2 to face division winner Texas. Texas stays hot and swept the series three games to one.

In the other matchup, Big Papi says goodbye in sad fashion as the Red Sox are swept by Cleveland (whut?) in their series as well, three games to none.

Weekend Update (05/20/13)

 

Audio/Video/Telly

 

 Doctor Who - The Name of the Doctor. Okay, I am not going to throw any spoilers out just yet since it was the season finale. We learn the deal with Clara and I buy it. It works for me. We never learn the Doctor's name though and I thought that was kind of cheating. The end was extremely cryptic though. And I don't think we have seen the end of River Song.

 How I Met Your Mother - Look at the picture. Nuff said.

New Girl - What do you get when you introduce a live badger into an Indian wedding? Yeah. And now Schmidt must choose between his old girlfriend and CeCe.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - Lethal Weapon 5. Exactly.

Game of Thrones - I feel like things are just dragging along. Something big needs to happen soon or they are going to lose me.

Movies - Star Trek Into Darkness. So this was the next summer blockbuster I have seen (the other is Iron Man 3). It was full of excitement in many parts and then I don't know what happened. I think they rehashed way too much from Wrath of Kahn and even though there were some twists, I felt like I had seen this movie before, just with different actors. It will make tons of money for sure (and Benedict Cumberbatch was awesome), but beyond that I wasn't really blown away.

Sports

Braves - They lost 2 out of 3 to the Diamondbacks, but rebounded by sweeping the Dodgers. Their record is now 25-18, which still has them in first place.

P.S. And do not forget to recommend this blog continues.
