The TEN<\/p><\/div>\n

(“The TEN” is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in “The TEN”)<\/p>\n

1.)\u2014Brewers take 3-0 NLCS lead over Dodgers \u2014 Milwaukee beat Los Angeles 6-2 in Game 3 behind back-to-back seventh-inning homers by Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell off Blake Snell (after Jackson Chourio\u2019s leadoff homer on the first pitch). The Brewers are one win from their first World Series since 1982.<\/p>\n

2.)\u2014 Ohio State (#4) versus Indiana (#5) on Saturday. The cheapest seat at Merchants Bank Field at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington will run $430, but there are still some $1,000+ tickets available.<\/p>\n

3.)\u2014\u201cThese are systemic inequalities \u2013 problems so deep-rooted that, in fact, I\u2019m glad that high-school students and young people in general are speaking up. I hear them, and I support them, and I hope the people at the very top will do the same.\u201d<\/em>\u2014San Antonio Spurs center, Victor Wembanyama on the riots\/protests in Paris, France.<\/p>\n

4.)\u2014\u201cThe Long-to-Armenta duo is going to be La Serna\u2019s ace in the hole versus Downey. I dare say that Downey-LS has totally replaced the excitement formerly reserved for Downey-Warren.\u201d<\/em>\u2014MVS commenter, \u201cKey to League\u201d<\/p>\n

5.)\u2014Thursday Night Football: Seahawks at Broncos. The game will broadcast on Prime, and 189 bucks will get you inside Empower Field at Mile High in Denver.<\/p>\n

6.)\u2014ALCS tied 1-1; Game 3 moved earlier for rain \u2014 The Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Baseball Team are even after the Rays Game 2 victory. Game 3 starts at 1 p.m. ET today in Cleveland.<\/p>\n

7.)\u2014Multiple reports from this week describe tensions between Joe Buck and Troy Aikman over their ESPN contract situations, including a reported pregame argument. Buck is inked through 2031, Aikman is in the final year of the deal he signed in 2022. Aikman in a radio interview would not confirm or deny an argument between himself and Buck.<\/p>\n

8.)\u2014Former Temple City LB Carlos Mota turns 32 today.<\/p>\n

9.)\u2014On this date in 1988: Kirk Gibson\u2019s iconic pinch-hit, walk-off two-run home run off Dennis Eckersley in the bottom of the ninth of Game 1 of the World Series gave the Los Angeles Dodgers a 5-4 win over the Oakland Athletics at Dodger Stadium. Gibson, hobbled by injuries to both legs, limped around the bases; it was his only plate appearance of the Series. 
\n\u201cIn a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened.\u201d<\/em>\u2014Vin Scully<\/p>\n

10.)\u2014\u201cI\u2019ve talked to our students, our parents and our community about this and nobody finds any offense at all in it. \u2018Redskins\u2019 is not an insult to our kids. \u2018Wagon burners\u2019 is an insult. \u2018Prairie n\u2014\u2013s\u2019 is an insult. Those are very upsetting to our kids. But \u2018Redskins\u2019 is an honorable name we wear with pride. \u2026 In fact, I\u2019d like to see somebody come up here and try to change it.\u201d<\/em>\u2014Tim Ames, superintendent of Wellpinit schools, where the Wellpinit Redskins play with a student body that is 91.2% Native American.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
