World Series Game Three: A New York Minute
November 4, 2009. Do you know what I was doing on that very day? I was watching Game Six of that year's World Series between the New York Yankees and the then-defending champion Philadelphia Phillies. I remember everything about that night. Hideki Matsui's six RBIs, Andy Pettitte's pitching gem, and the 27th out that got us #27. It was such an amazing moment to see the Yankees win the whole thing that night, and it was an amazing way to introduce the new Yankee Stadium that year.

NFL Week 8 Recap: Hail Mary to the Commanders
Soooo... let's talk about that Hail Mary, eh?! You know, the Washington Commanders are something special this year. On paper, they were supposed to be in the midst of a rebuild. The NFC East was supposed to be the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles battling for the top spot, while the Commanders would be rebuilding and the New York Giants would be glad that they're not the New York Jets. Yet a funny thing happened after they lost their season opener. They won four straight. They were beaten by the Ravens, but they bounced back big time against the lowly Panthers. Even so, it looked Jayden Daniels would be out for this week, but he suited up for this week's battle against the Chicago Bears.

Climbing the Ladder
What did I say when we were 0-4? I said not to worry. I said this was a long season. Look what's happened. Four straight wins. The goals are coming in from all sorts of players, and Justus Annunen has been on a roll in net. The Avs' last win was in Utah; a dominant 5-1 victory that saw, among other things, Ivan Ivan's first NHL goal. And after two days off, the Avs are back at home to face off against the Ottawa Senators, and as we recall, the last time the Senators hit Ball Arena, it was one of Nathan MacKinnon's two four-goal games of the season.

Gender-Flipped Villain Pitch: The Hooded Claw (The Perils of Penelope Pitstop)
I had been sitting on something like this for over a year now. I had thought about writing a story about gender-flipping villains, because let's face facts: there are some iconic villains who do need a woman's touch. I still, to this day, remember when the first season of Elementary gave us Natalie Dormer as a female Moriarty, so very delicious. The inspiration for this came from an episode of Ultimate Spider-Man, which saw the titular hero in a gender-flipped universe, which not only featured Spider-Girl, but also Norma Osborn, a gender-flipped version of The Green Goblin. The Goblin wasn't the only Spider-Man villain to be gender-flipped, we would later see a female Dr. Octopus, who was voiced by Kathryn Hahn, who is currently heeling it up in the MCU as villainess Agatha Harkness.

Top Scoring Players on Fantasy Football (Week 7)
We are currently in the heart of Week 8, but let's take a look back at Week 7. Week 7 was quite interesting in Fantasy Football, especially for me. Two of my teams who appeared to be down and out are improving, one of them went from 0-4 to 3-4 and in a playoff position. As I stated before, anything can happen in the world of Fantasy Football, as we continue on into the heart of the Fantasy season. I am impatiently waiting for that moment where one or two of my teams clinches a playoff spot--I do have two teams who are 6-1 right now.

World Series Game Two: Disorder in the Court
An immense number of Yankees fans were left in anger, despair, and panic after the walk-off grand slam was hit by Freddie Freeman. Not this Yankees fan. It's only one game in a best-of-seven. In 2009, the Yankees lost Game One of that year's World Series. What happened? We won four of the next five games. It's not the end of the world, Yankees fans. Game Two is a perfect opportunity to even this thing up heading back to The Bronx.

World Series Game One: And So It Begins
Here it is, folks: the World Series. The Fall Classic. It's always special every year, but this year's it's extra special. This year, it's the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Two of the most hallowed teams in baseball, and the two biggest payrolls in the league right now. Now, before I start this recap, I want to call out something.

CFL Week 20 Recap: Close to the Finish Line
We are down to the final week of the season, but let's take a look back at Week 20, the penultimate week. Only three games were played in Week 20, the last abbreviated week of the season, but the only one with any relevance was the game between the Toronto Argonauts and the Ottawa Redblacks. No, I'm not just saying that because I'm an Argos fan. It's because the other two games had nothing to play for. The lone Friday game featured the Calgary Stampeders and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, two of the three eliminated teams this year. TiCats blasted the Stamps to kick off Week 20. The other game featured the BC Lions and the Montréal Alouettes--two teams who were locked in to their playoff positions. The Lions won, 27-3, to finish at 9-9 this season.

So Nice, It Has to be Said Twice
The Colorado Avalanche are on the verge of getting back on track, having won three straight games after a strange and odd 0-4 start. The streak started with an overtime win against the Anaheim Ducks, and it was followed by wins in San Jose and Seattle--the latter coming in the NHL's annual Frozen Frenzy evening. Regarding Game 8, this was the last leg of the Avs' three-game road trip, and for the first time ever, we were in Salt Lake City against the Utah Hockey Club.

2024 World Series Preview
A wild, crazy, and thrilling 2024 season will end with, perhaps, the greatest World Series in the last 30 years. I do love the Fall Classic, it's a terrific end to the marathon known as the baseball season. The World Series, in its current form, has existed since 1903, and had served as the only form of postseason baseball for almost seven decades. Since 1969, the road to the Fall Classic has added more bumps in the road, but the end result is always awesome.

The Magic Number
Things are slowly looking up for the Colorado Avalanche. After an 0-4 start, the Avs have racked up back-to-back wins. Yes, the wins were against the Anaheim Ducks and the San Jose Sharks, not exactly the cream of the crop, but one has to crawl before one can walk. The win in San Jose was the first game in a brief three game road trip. Regarding Game 7 of this season, it would take place in Seattle against the Kraken.

The Devil and Isadore Freleng
I mentioned before, in an earlier Looney Tunes story, that Friz Freleng does have an affinity for the macabre in his Looney Tunes cartoons. A big part of it is his depictions of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, with three shorts playing out that story. But the affinity also includes an even darker depiction: the Devil. We have seen Heaven and Hell depicted in classic cartoons before. Tom and Jerry gave us the famous short, Heavenly Daze, where Tom ends up in Heaven after his latest chase, but faces heading to "the other place" if he can't receive documented forgiveness from Jerry.
