the mad sports man

It's time to fall back. At 2am tonight we turn our clocks back "officially." Be sure to do so before you go to bed. Unless you live somewhere where you don't have to. Like Saskatchewan. Where I am. Tonight is when we go to standard time. Now for the CFL division semis. The east semi had Toronto beat Ottawa 58-38 and will face Montreal in the east final next Saturday. In the west, Saskatchewan beat B.C. 28-19 and will face Winnipeg, also next Saturday. We're that much closer to the Grey Cup.

 The Los Angeles Dodgers just won the 2024 world series, winning game 5 7-6 and the series 4-1. The 4th time they've beaten the Yankees in the series. It is also their 8th championship. Congratulations to the Dodgers.

 This is from about 1962. The foreground is Colt Stadium, first home of the Houston Astros (Colt 45s at the time. In the background is the beginning of construction of the Astrodome. Neat en.

 It's official. Glasgow Scotland is host of the 2026 Commonwealth games.  It will run from July 23 to August 2. It's a scaled down version. The sports that were dropped were: Rugby 7s, field hockey, badminton, twenty20 cricket, squash and diving.

 It will be the New York Yankees vs the Los Angeles Dodgers For the world series as the Dodgers beat the Mets 10-5 in game 6 of the NLCS and the series 4-2. It will be the 12th meeting between the Yankees and Dodgers in the world series. The Yankees hold an 8-3 edge. (Yankees in 1941, 1947, 1949, 1952, 1953, 1956, 1977 and 1978. Dodgers in 1955, 1963 and 1981). It will be my first time watching these two. I started watching baseball in 1983

 The New York Yankees are off to the world series after beating Cleveland 5-2 in 20 innings. Juan Soto hit the 3 run home run to win it. They will get either the New York Mets or the Dodgers. Oh yeah it's their 41st American League pennant.
