Wednesday Night Hockee & Based Balls Shenanigans

Since it’s the middle of the week, we should probably be responsible and turn it at a normal hour, since there isn’t much going on, right?
Or, on the other hand, we can continue ranting and being irresponsible while there is a nice assortment of other SPROTS to watch while drinking a favorite beverage, popping some favorite “medicine” or inhaling other favorite “medicines.”

World Series Game 2 – Fox 20:00 EST

The Mets look to bounce back in the Fall Classic, after blowing two different leads last night, as the Royals walked off in the 14th inning. It was a terrific start to the World Series, featuring an inside-the-park home run, great pitching, and timely offense. I hope Otto’s brain is enjoying this back in the Paleozoic Era. It’d be even better if the Fox feed breaks again, and we’re spared Joe Buck once more. Fingers crossed.

Penguins at Capitals – Fox Sports 1 20:00 EST

Remember when this was going to be the next great NHL rivalry? Sid and Ovie were destined to be perennial playoff opponents, each with multiple Stanley Cups in their future? Well… the Capitals have never shaken the curse of being the Capitals, and the Pens continue to flame-out in the playoffs, continuing their proud tradition dating back to the Mario Lemieux days. Somehow, this is the first divisional game for the Pens this season, despite already playing the Dallas Stars twice, the eventual Quebec Coyotes, and Nashville. The Capitals are the very-early-season Metro Division leaders, while the Pens are a modest 4-4-0. Some in Yinzburgh media say that if the Pens lose tonight and tomorrow against Buffalo, it should cost Pens head coach Mike Johnston his job. Yinzers are just as loathsome and moronic as Philadelphia fans.

Something called the “National Basketball Administration” – TWWL 20:00 and 22:30

The fact that the NBA season has stared may be the scariest part of Halloween week. ESPN has two games tonight, Oklahoma City hosts San Antonio in the early game. The Spurs are nearing the end of their dynasty, as 90-year-old Tim Duncan and 79-year-old Chris Paul visit Kevin Durant’s guys. The late game features Minnesota visiting the Staples Center and Kobe’s 88-year-old ass. The Wolves just lost their head coach, Flip Saunders, to cancer this weekend. I don’t know what to make of this, as the Wolves are young, and the unfortunate passing of their coach could either inspire them, or cause a completely understandable bad performance.

All-in-all, a decent lineup for the middle of the week in late Scotchtober. Pull a seat, pour a drink, pop a pill if you’re Hippo (or me), and join us.

I just wanted to drop in and say that the girl in the banner picture could make me hate the Penguins a little less.

Back from dinner. Watching the GOP debate via closed captioning while on mute was as you might have expected. Glad to see the Mets shat the bed.

I think the key to the game for the Mets is that they should now try to score more runs than the Royals.

This is far better analysis than what we got from Joe Morgan

The penalty kill is as good as the powerplay is bad.

Fuck you Fitbit you ever notice how nobody in those ads is ever playing real sports?

I was told I could lose weight by walking and doing nothing else.

I like how the seventh inning stretch – which at the ballpark was obviously intended to be dedicated to veterans and armed forces members – was co-opted by an ad for the Peanuts movie.
