The Last Night’s Game
MLB (Major League Baseball)
The Houston Astros came into this weekend down 0-2 in the World Series against the Washington Nationals. They won all three games this weekend on the road in Washington including last night’s with President Trump in the stands. Now they’re headed home for game six and are one game away from winning the World Series on Tuesday. COMING FOR YOU
Overtime
Overcoming a typhoon that pushed play back a day, Tiger Woods proved that he’s still a force to be reckoned with on the golf course. He won the Zozo Championship in Japan, tying the record for the most wins of all time. This monumental win is his first outing since arthroscopic knee surgery in August. JUST TRY TO STOP HIM
Sideline stat
Top 10 ranked college football teams are dropping like flies. Oklahoma (#5) lost to unranked Kansas State over the weekend. It was the third weekend in a row that a top 10 ranked team lost. Laughing all the way to the front of the line? LSU. They became the #1 ranked school in the country, topping teams that have gone unbeaten like Alabama and Ohio State. The story here? The college football playoffs are up for grabs…something we haven’t been able to say for years. GIVE HOPE A CHANCE
Coaches’ corner
The Southampton Football Club (Premier League Soccer) lost so badly over the weekend, that they've chosen to donate their salaries from one game to a local charity in an attempt to make it up to fans. Their humiliating loss to Leicester tied the record for biggest defeat in premiere league history. INSERT FOOT IN WALLET
What to watch
Fans and athletes alike were taking a beating this weekend. First a bold move by a Washington Nationals (MLB) fan who refused to drop his beers and took a World Series home run ball to the chest. And then drivers Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin got into a post-race altercation as tension ran high during the NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) playoffs.
