Game 1 is set. The Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Chicago Cubs 3-1 last night. Brandon Webb, Brandon Lyon, and Jose Valverde did their job in only allowing one run. The bats were also cracking for the Diamondbacks with two homeruns, one by Stephen Drew in the fourth inning (stupid me I was watching the Stars/ Avalanche game at the time) and Mark Reynolds after the Cubs tied it up in the seventh. Both were solo shots. The D'Backs also added another run during the seventh inning with a sac fly by .
Tonight is Game 2 at 10 o'clock PM. Doug Davis goes to the mound for Arizona while Ted Lilly pitches for the Cubs. Arizona is going to win this game 6-3.
In other sports news, the Toronto Maple Leafs lost their first game 4-3 in overtime. Nik Antropov had two goals while Stajan had the other. Raycroft made somewhat of a surprise start for the Leafs, but I've talked to several people who follow the Leafs and they say Toskala is supposed to start tonight. On the other side of the rank, the Ottawa Senators received goals from Vermette, Alfredsson and Heatly had two including the winner in OT. Martin Gerber started in goal last night, but I think you might see Emery tonight. If this is the case, I think you will see a Leafs victory. Prediction: Leafs 405- 1 (Toskala will unfortunately not get the shutout). One more note on this game, one of my sleepers as posted in a previous post on Fantasy Hockey, Andy or is it David or is it Carl Woznieski had to helpers in a losing effort. That's okay Woz, you'll get them tonight.
October is looking like a tremendous month of sports. The baseball playoffs finally have some interesting teams to watch in the playoffs, hockey has started, and the Bills have a quarterback who has a brain and might just win a few more games than people expected.
Gotta go. Post Please! Peace, john aka ronnie james dio aka holy diver
PS The picture on the left is of Ryan John Sanders Welch as the "WOZ." The one on the right is the great "WOZ"
PS I'm going to start a "Vote for WOZ" campaign for the all-star game. I hope all of my loyal readers will help me out in the effort of getting the Woz to the all-star game.

You may not even need to start the campaign if the woz keeps it up, he is awesome. Can you say Norris?
Interesting post Ryan. Oh my God was that the Wanton Soup? I'm liking the "A-Hole of the Week."
