CFL Week 21 Recap: Let the Games Begin
For the second straight season, the 21st and final week of the CFL season was full of games that had no bearing on the playoff picture, as everything was settle in Week 20. The Calgary Stampeders nabbed the last spot in this year's playoffs, though it could be said that they got it by default, and once again, the road in the West Division will go through Winnipeg. The remaining three games of the regular season are played for pride, history, and in the case of a pair of teams, practice.

World Series Game Four: Don't Mess With Texas
Entering Game Four of this year's World Series, the Texas Rangers had two things: a 2-1 lead and some scary news on a Halloween night. A pair of their top players are down for the Fall Classic. First off, Max Scherzer. "Mad Max" left Game Three due to injury, doing so after pitching just three innings. The second one is as shocker: Adolis Garcia. The possible frontrunner for the World Series MVP nod also became injured, and is done for the rest of the Series. That is a big blow to the Rangers, as the Arizona Diamondbacks looked to even things up, with a chance to take the Series lead at home.

Villainess Review: Duma (Supernatural)
Happy Halloween all! I had been wanting to write this review for the longest time, and this day is a perfect time to do so. The fact that it's Halloween is one reason, but another involves the actress pictured above: Erica Cerra. I've been a fan of Erica Cerra since Eureka, where she spent five seasons as the tough-as-nails Jo Lupo. Other than also playing the dual role of Becca and A.L.I.E. on The 100, Cerra's acting career includes an immense number of villainous roles, and while they have all been amazing, her best and most memorable evil role came during a two season span on Supernatural.

NFL Week 8 Recap: Bedlam in the Bay Area
Following the San Francisco 49ers' second straight loss, the news broke that Brock Purdy was under concussion protocol, and it actually looked like the Niners would have to start Sam Darnold in their game against the Cincinnati Bengals. As I was fathoming to possibility of seeing the QB who famously said he was seeing ghosts during the last Sunday of Halloween, an update was made that Purdy was good to go.

World Series Game Three: Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself
November 4, 2001. On that day, the Arizona Diamondbacks won Game Seven of the World Series in walkoff fashion; Luis Gonzalez's famous bases loaded single. Safe money says that "Gonzo" hasn't had to buy a drink in Phoenix since then. That evening was one of celebration, pomp, and circumstance, but it was also the last time that the World Series hit the 48th state. Just a few days shy of 22 years later, the Diamondbacks took the field in front of their home fans for the first time in this year's Fall Classic against the Texas Rangers, with Arizona coming off a dominant win in Game Two to tie the Series.

Villainess Review: Rachel Jordan (Hiding from My Husband)
As I was anxiously awaiting the start of this current NFL season (and the current NHL season, as well), I was enjoying the bounty that Lifetime was giving us during this late summer season. Part of the goodness included this movie, Hiding from My Husband (originally titled, Rear View Mirror), and the beginning lived up to the new title, as it sees Jessica Howard frantically packing her things as she's preparing to take her son, Noah, and escape her house that she shared with husband Peter Howard, who was quickly established as being abusive and very controlling.

World Series Game Two: Why Did It Have to be Snakes?!
The 2023 World Series kicked off with an amazing extra innings victory for the Texas Rangers, a comeback victory at that. The Rangers trailed 5-3, and it looked like the Arizona Diamondbacks would steal Game One, but Corey Seager tied the game with a two-run homer in the 9th, and the 11th (and the game overall) ended with Adolis Garcia walking it off. The Rangers struck first in this year's Fall Classic, moving three wins away from their first championship.

The Spectacular History of "Treehouse of Horror"
One of the things I love the most about Halloween is, of course, "Treehouse of Horror," the annual Halloween-themed episode of The Simpsons. Seriously, how can you not love "Treehouse of Horror"? It's the one episode out of the season that breaks away from the norm (or close to it) of a typical Simpsons episode. The episode always consisted of three segments with different storylines, often using a horror or sci-fi theme, though recent years have borrowed from popular movies, regardless of genre.

World Series Game One: Even the Home Runs are Bigger in Texas
When this year's World Series matchup became official, I wanted two things out of this year's edition. One, I wanted extra inning games. And two, I wanted a seven-game Series. With a matchup as unorthodox as the Texas Rangers facing the Arizona Diamondbacks, I wanted all of the insanity and chaos that could come from this. I would get my first request; time would tell if the other comes true.

2023 World Series Preview
I always enjoy the World Series, and there are so many reasons. For one, it's absolutely prestigious; there is a lot of history involved, as the Fall Classic's been around since 1903. Another reason is that the World Series marks the end of a very long season with so many games and few days off, but there's also another factor involved: it's the last championship of the sports calendar year. The Super Bowl's in February, the Stanley Cup and NBA Championship are awarded in June, and the World Series occurs in late October/early November.

Avalanche Game 7 Recap: Roadblock
For the third time in franchise history, and the second time since the move, the Colorado Avalanche are 6-0-0, a perfect point percentage. The winning streak continued with their win over the New York Islanders, and their next destination was Pittsburgh to face the Penguins. The Avalanche looked to match their best start in their overall franchise history, as the 1985-86 Quebec Nordiques started the season 7-0-0.
