Improbable and Impossible: A Look at the 1988 Los Angeles Dodgers
You know, a lot of crazy shit in sports happened in the 1980s. The Islanders and Oilers dynasties, the rise of the San Francisco 49ers, the NBA hit the state of Florida, the Raiders moving to Los Angeles--and later winning the Super Bowl. You name it, it's happened. Baseball was no different. I did mention the Kansas City Royals and the New York Mets championship runs in previous stories, and here, I want to discuss that memorable run by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1988.

MLB Pennant Race 2024: Seven Days and Six Nights
Well, baseball fans, this is it. We have reached the final week of the 2024 MLB season. Baseball, for over a century, has always been a marathon, but it's now about to end. We have just seven days left in the regular season, but there is still quite a bit to piece together.

A Look at the Recent Wave of Women's Wrestling Factions
I love women's wrestling with a passion, and I have been really happy that it has continued to evolve in recent years. However, while we have seen more screen time for the women, longer matches, better angles, and epic elevation, the development still didn't include a number of actual factions. We have seen alliances, but I'm talking about factions. It takes at least three to make a faction (alternately known as a stable).

Guardians of the AL Central Galaxy
For the Cleveland Guardians, the 2023 season did not go well. 2022 saw them finish first in the American League Central, and they would fall one win short of playing for the pennant. 2022 was also the team's first year playing as the Guardians, and while it looked like they would dominate the Central every year, 2023 saw them take a bit of a nose dive. A third place finish and 76 wins, finishing 11 games behind the Twins in the division.

Number One Hit
It was a typical night in the career of the woman known to many as "IMAX," a pop diva whose talent and singing chops match her popularity. She had just given yet another performance in front of a huge crowd, performing four of her biggest hits and leaving to a big applause and chants of her name. All the while, IMAX tearfully waved to her immense adoring public, showing appreciation to her many fans.

CFL Week 15 Recap: Just What the Doctor Ordered
The final one-third of the 2024 CFL season got underway in Vancouver, the home of the upcoming 111th Grey Cup. The Toronto Argonauts have designs on making that trip to Vancouver their first of two this season, but we have had major problems lately. My last recap saw me absolutely rant about the Argos' struggles, as well as Chad Kelly being back so soon. Even so, I was on the optimistic side when it came to the Argos' trip to Vancouver to face the BC Lions.

Top Scoring Players on Fantasy Football (Week 2)
Week 2 was a tad better for me than Week 1 was in Fantasy Football. After winning three of my eight matchups on Week 1, Week 2 saw me win half of my matchups, and two of my teams are 2-0. Quite a few key fantasy performances took place during Week 2, and they really made some owners very pleased. Well, unless they were playing against them, then they were probably tearing their hair out and saying that their season was over.

Brewers Take NL Central and Become 1st to Clinch in 2024
It's always a good feeling to be the first team in your league to clinch a spot in the playoffs, because that's one step in a multi-layered goal: winning a championship. In the case of the 2024 MLB season, that honor went to the Milwaukee Brewers, who had a stranglehold on the National League Central for months. The Brewers had their first opportunity to clinch the division on Tuesday, needing a win and a Chicago Cubs loss. A funny thing: the Cubs did lose at home to the lowly Oakland Athletics, but unfortunately, the Brewers fell to the Philadelphia Phillies.

Villainess Review: Dee Baxter (The Wayans Bros.)
Who remembers The WB? The original WB Network? Hard to believe that it's been almost 30 years since that network launched, and would go on to become this big thing--keeping up with what was now the Big Four networks (CBS, NBC, ABC, and Fox). The whole thing started in early 1995, and it ended up leading to the launch of Kids' WB that fall (that's another story). The network had their trademark shows, and among their earliest hits was The Wayans Bros., the memorable sitcom that officially put Shawn and Marlon Wayans on the spotlight.

NFL Week 2 Recap: Where There's a Willis, There's a Way
It is not a good time for sports fans in Baltimore right now. The Orioles continue to slip behind the New York Yankees in the American League East, and while they are hanging to the #1 Wild Card position in the American League, they would rather have home field in a Division Series instead of the Wild Card Series. But don't worry, Baltimore. After all, there's still the Ravens, right?

MLB Pennant Race 2024: 14 Days Left and So Much on the Line
We are now in the heart of the month of September; two weeks left in the 2024 MLB season, and still, not one of the 12 postseason berths has been snatched up. However, three additional teams have seen their seasons come to an end: the Los Angeles Angels, the Washington Nationals, and the Oakland Athletics. The A's last postseason came during that COVID-affected 2020 campaign, while the Nationals haven't played October baseball since winning the World Series in 2019. As for the Angels, they have the longest drought among the three teams; this is their tenth straight year without a postseason.

At Only Age 26, Is It Time for Tua to Retire?
If you saw my split up stories about Week 1, then you know that my new plan for weekly recaps is splitting up the stories if it is warranted. It can be difficult to try to cram mentions for 16 games in one story. Regarding Week 2, I originally was going to cram it all and wait until the Monday game ends. This is despite the fact that this was the beginning of Amazon Prime's third season of Thursday Night Football, and also despite the fact that the game featured was the Miami Dolphins hosting the Buffalo Bills. These two teams are predicted to be battling it out for the AFC East, and this was the first of two meetings this year. Even so, I was going to wait to discuss this.
