It’s Halloween. So you know there’s going to be plenty of tricks & treats as I roundup all of what’s happening in the world of sports. On deck:
(6:38) After a mention of having to pardon myself if I’m sounding a bit hoarse, I regroup to unpack the miniseries that took place on FOX at Yankee Stadium last night in Game 5. I’ll review Games 3 & 4 as well, but the Dodgers overcome a five run deficit and Yankee miscues abound to win the franchise’s eighth World Series, 7-6. I’ll throw bouquets at manager Dave Roberts, series MVP Freddie Freeman and reliever Blake Treinen for their performance in the game! As for the Yankees? A bitter defeat which erased the good fortune of avoiding getting swept the night before. How this will affect the team, especially with some key free agents (Juan Soto, Gerrit Cole, Gleyber Torres, among others) Lastly, my personal motto and breakdown when the Yankees don’t record the last out of the season, taking shots at some (not ALL) of their fans and saying goodbye to radio announcer, John Sterling! It’s another winter that I can sleep in peace after another year without winning a title!
(42:56) NFL Week 9 has a rather light schedule, although there are a couple of games to watch (DET-GB, DEN-BAL) My beloved Steelers have a bye, but at 6-2, in first place in the AFC North, why their record is deceiving? KC made a good trade for a pass rusher (Joshua Uche) and a puzzling trade for Baltimore as they acquire WR Diontae Johnson, when they need defensive help in the worst way.
(51:50) A huge college football matchup at high noon on Saturday as Ohio State will go to Happy Valley to play Penn State. Why now is the time for the Nittany Lions to win a big game in the Big 10?
(54:51) There are a couple of injuries of note in the NBA (Steph Curry & Scottie Barnes). The Celtics lost their first game of the season with an OT loss at Indiana. Do I get geeked up for Bronny James scoring his first ever NBA points in Cleveland of all places? And do I need to stress Dwyane Wade’s statue in Miami?
(58:11) The NHL suffered an enormous loss (well, just for 2-3 weeks) as Oilers superstar Connor McDavid will be out with a lower body (ankle) injury as they fight off of a slow start. The Winnipeg Jets finally lose and the San Jose Sharks finally won, in fact, two in a row.
