fan appreciation night at commonwealth, baseball musings.

it was fan appreciation night at commonwealth tonight as the eskimos lost to the toronto argonauts 34-22 in front of over 29,500 people. the sad part is edmonton had a 22-1 lead and bombed. offence did nothing in the second half and toronto's offence took over and killed the edmonton defence. roomie had a couple of tickets from his week job at the sawmill tailgating area behind the north end zone. different perspective watching at field level compared to in the stands. the cheer team was selling their 2014 calendars (got mine at the last home game) and i got some of them to sign mine. meanwhile in mlb, the red sox, a's and tigers will end up finishing with the first, second and third best records in the a.l. detroit will play oakland in one of the division series, while boston will play the wild card playoff, whoever that may be. cleveland has a onegame lead over tampa bay and texas in the wild card race. that will be a fun finish tomorrow. in the n.l. pittsburgh has a home game vs cincinnati in the n.l. wild card game after beating them this afternoon. wild how the schedule has pitt and cincy facing each other in the final weekend for a home game. the wild card game is on october first st.louis has a one game lead over aatanta for the best record in the n.l., while the los angeles dodgers has the third seed sewn up and will face either st.louis or atlanta. tomorrow will be a fun day.
