Well it certainly looked like the Cubs (106 – 59) had this game won, improbably, with pitcher Arrieta’s 3 RBI blast in the 2nd. Bumgarner never lets opposing pitchers touch him up- ever. In the 3rd and the 5th the Giants (89 – 76)cut into it a little bit. Bumgarner departed after the 5th, Arrieta …

2016 Senior League Division Series: Game 4, Nationals @ Dodgers
The Nationals (97 – 68) uprising in the 9th was really pivotal and broke open a 4 – 3 game that could have gone either way. The Bottom of the Inning a sad 1 – 2 – 3. What this means is, in addition to the Dodgers (92 – 73) facing elimination, the Nationals are …

Sunday night’s town hall debate between the presidential candidates got really ugly. It started before the debate with Republican nominee Donald Trump inviting three women who had sexual relations with former President Bill Clinton when he was in office in Arkansas and a fourth, a rape victim

“You can crush a man with journalism”
Of course the real reason the Neoliberal Tory-lite Blairites of the Parliamentary Labour Party have it in for Jeremy Corbyn is that they don’t represent their constituents or Party members and are therefore (correcttly) worried that his support of Party democracy will, justly, deprive them of their phony baloney jobs that they feel entitled to …

2016 Senior League Division Series: Game 3, Cubs @ Giants
This game was notable because it was the first time since 1924 that a Reliever hit a Post Season Home Run. Travis Wood also got the win after Kyle Hendricks left in the 4th with a Line Drive bruise. Also Madison Bumgarner made an appearence as a Pinch Hitter in the 5th and reached on …

2016 Junior League Division Series: Game 3, Indians @ Red Sox
Postponed for a day because of Matthew this may be Red Sox Nation’s last chance this season to worship at the shrine of The Great God Citgo. Since that’s the case I’ll tell you a Fenway story. So last year I was following L’Hermione up the East Coast and the stop was Boston. Now I …

2016 Senior League Division Series: Game 3, Nationals @ Dodgers
So this one won’t be a sweep. There will be at least 2 games at the Dodgers (92 – 72) and if the Nationals (96 – 68) can eek out a win in either of them they’ll finish up at home. The story of the game was the 3 RBI HR in the 4th Inning …
