- Start date
Yeah it's going to be a great week for sports!
I predict starting pitching and sound defense — over home run hitting in the Wild Card games. So that means ATL over Philly. San Diego over the Cubs. Yankees over the Red Sox. And Houston over the White Sox.
We'll see. Three-game series are very hard to predict.

Why? Do you see fans behind the plate texting away? Gotta keep your IG account up to date! Numero uno priority today!
Today's 20- and 40-somethings can be something else.
Wife and I went to a kinda foo-foo-shi-shi fancy restaurant. There was this young couple at the next table. I'd say, late 20s. By their nervous mannerisms and nice clothes, I'd ventured that this was an initial computer-dating hookup.
Both looked at their phones 95% of the time. The only conversation I heard was about ordering food and telling the waitress they were okay. That was it.
My wife was kinda shocked. But I told her that I work with a lot of 20- to 40-year-olds who are kinda geeky and anti-social. There are many social, nice people in this age range. But compared to when I was in my 30s, a much bigger percentage are extremely guarded and withdrawn. Single, unattached, and reclusive. Hiding behind their phones.

They were probably watching the ball game.
This happened a few years ago. I don't remember, but I don't think it was baseball season. Maybe it was a baseball fantasy stream?
18 to 2 runs in two games. The Old Bosox pitching failed badly.
If the Yanks beat Tampa, they have a very good chance of going back to the World Series.
The Fightin' Phils need to start fightin'!
There were some really good games yesterday. This one was the best...
Here's the 2026 NL Cy Young winner. Jacob Misiorowski throws the first pitch at 105 MPH!
In the end though, the Padres got robbed by the roof!
I will be watching baseball today over the NFL.
What that means is I'll be watching baseball but in between innings (or if the game gets out of hand) I'll be flipping over to check out the football.

102º in LA yesterday. About the same for today's game.

In a roofless stadium, which is to say, a REAL baseball park, not a damn gym, Ty France's ball would have been a TITANIC, EPIC home run - along the lines of Mickey Mantle. He's been such a BONUS this year it was a shame to see that happen.
