So tonight the Giants visit the unfriendly confines in Foxborough. The Giants are huge (17.5) underdogs against the undefeated New England Patriots at Gillette, limping in without four of their top offensive players against the best defense in the NFL. An already weak offense gets weaker. Danny Dime would have to have a spectacular night. OBTW…The Pats have yet to give up a passing touchdown. I sense it will get ugly early. Yep, I’ll be watching the Rays and Astros. I need to see a competitive game. In a shocker, the Nats dismissed the Dodgers from the 2019 playoffs.The fans remaining at Dodger Stadium, the ones loyal enough to stick around to witness the stunning conclusion to the Dodgers’ season, booed Dave Roberts when he finally emerged from the dugout in the 10th inning on Wednesday night. They loudly echoed their anger during his walk back after the manager finally took the ball from Joe Kelly and gave it to Kenley Jansen. After plowing through the National League West for their seventh straight division title and a franchise-record 106 wins, no World Series win. Something tells me, that Dave Roberts will be out of a job soon. The Yankees swept the best-of-five series from the Twins and await the winner of the Astros vs. Rays ALDS. The ALCS begins Saturday. Where it starts depends on the outcome of tonight’s game. Let’s go Rays. If the Astros win, It's possible the Yankees could win the ALCS in five games while only seeing Verlander and Cole once each. That's the dream scenario for New York. The less rest Verlander and Cole get, and the less you see them, the better. And…if the Rays were to win, Home advantage Yankees. Tonight, I’m a Rays fan.

My preference is facing the Rays in the ALCS. When they are on, Verlander and Cole are the best pitchers in baseball. I think the Astros are the best and most dangerous team in baseball, and avoiding them would be swell. The Rays are no pushovers.

Astro's and Rays pitching need a rest , too bad , no rest for the weary....Yanks deep batting order ready for Saturday , just hope Yanks don't change lineup that's been successful , to play injured comeback players

WhatWhatever strikes you as interesting, absurd, ridiculous, funny or serious about all sports, then this is the place to hear my slant on it. My focus will be mainly on the New York area, but anything going on in sports anywhere is fair game.
