October Sports

First off baseball, how does pitching five innings in a normal nine inning game get you a save and not a win. By definition Baumgartner pitched the fifth inning so he should have gotten credit for the win. Even though I hate the San Francisco Giants win a passion what Baumgartner did in game seven was amazing going five innings on short rest in relief.  Sadly it makes giving Kershaw the Cy Young and MVP awards kind of pointless.  Like the Anaheim Ducks winning the NHL Pacific division title when the Los Angeles Kings won it all.

Now the Anaheim Ducks there is a difference between a lost and a bad performance.  Thursday night was a bad performance getting shutout by an undermanned St. Louis Blues team.  So please try to limit those and pace yourselves because it's not all about the regular season.   That is the only thing I can complain with the Ducks now being the only one of my teams with a winning record.

Oh boy the Lakers it's so mind boggling what's happen to them since David Stern took Chris Paul away from them and gift wrapped him for the Clippers.  Yes Dwight Howard is soft How can he not listen to Kobe as  teammate in 2012-13 after losing the 2009 Finals to him  Besides the fact Howard leaving the Lakers to be coached by that guy really makes it unforgivable.  The NBA should have changed the lottery rules because The Lakers really have no reason to compete this season without Randle.  If their pick is outside the Top 5 it goes to Phoenix.  Now tell me which team could use that pick more.  The Lakers still owe Orlando a pick.  WHAT?   Adam Silver should go into the business of amending trades involving picks rather than changing trade partners.

Now the Carolina Panthers even if they  lose at Philadelphia and at New Orleans they still have a chance at winning record but now they have to fix the offense rather than the defense.  There is still a light at the end of the tunnel despite the General Manager.
