Bad times for Philadelphia sports team.
The Phillies get knocked out of the playoffs losing a pitchers dual 1-0 in the 5th game of the NLDS. Ironic that a team built on pitching can't hit the other guy.
The good news for the Eagles is that they didn't collapse in the the 2nd half and came storming back but it's awfully hard to win a game when you turn the ball over 5 times.
The good news
Mrs. G is happy that her Stillers won big today and I'm happy that Penn State won a defensive battle 13-3 vs. Iowa. The Lions will be favored to win the next 2 against Purdue and Northwestern to get bowl eligible but November will be tough. Now that Nebraska has joined the Big 10 (11,12, etc) we get to play them every year. Oh joy.
It hasn't rained in Texas for most of the whole summer but as soon as the Rangers make the playoffs the skies open up. When teams build new stadiums in the future they should consider retractable roofs. The melting of the polar ice caps has resulted in more moisture in the atmosphere that is causing more frequent and severe storms according to most climate scientists.
My pick for the World Series is Tigers vs. Brewers.
White Sox v Brewers huh? What year?
ReplyDeleteAlthough I have no interest in this years World Series, your points on global warming are quite relevant.
ReplyDeleteJust look at what we have experienced in our own backyard these past few months.
Perhaps, however, anything that we can do now as far as averting it may be too little too late.
