Bosox put Dodgers into deep hole with second straight win
By HAL McCOY UNSOLICITED OBSERVATIONS from The Man Cave, seeing all the fans in Fenway Park wrapped in ski masks and hoodies as if they were watching a downhill slalom. Several players wore the same gear in the 40-degree weather, even the Boston Red Sox, who should be used to it. The Los Angles Dodgers […]
Relentless Red Sox blast Dodgers in Game 1, 8-4
By HAL McCOY UNSOLICITED OBSERVATIONS from The Man Cave with a confession.

But it should be a great World Series because both teams have the best players […]
Dodgers win NLCS, set to face Red Sox in World Series
By HAL McCOY UNSOLICITED OBSERVATIONS from The Man Cave: As speculated in this corner, Joe Girardi wants to manage, but he doesn’t want to manage the Cincinnati Reds and withdrew his name.

Dodgers, Red Sox score LCS victories
By HAL McCOY UNSOLICITED OBSERVATIONS from The Man Cave, watching my 170th baseball game this season when Nadine walked by, plucked a Bai out of the refrigerator and said, “I’ll be glad when this is all over.” It is far from over. Four teams remain in the post-season and when two are eliminated there is […]
Chacin, Brewers belligerent bullpen blank Dodgers
By HAL McCOY UNSOLICITED OBSERVATIONS from The Man Cave wondering if the Wisconsin Cheeseheads are watched the Milwaukee Brewers or the Green Bay Packers on Monday night. Probably both. —The Milwaukee Brewers scored a 4-0 Game 3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers Monday night in Dodger Stadium, but it wasn’t without some nervous tics. […]
Turner’s home run ends Milwaukee’s 12-game winning streak
By HAL McCOY UNSOLICITED OBSERVATIONS from The Man Cave after watching Ohio State stumblebum its way to a 16-point victory over a young, inexperienced Minnesota team, wondering how many brave gamblers gave the 31 1/2 points that Las Vegas handed to the Golden Gophers. —After treating Game 1 of the National League Championship Series as […]
Brewers hang on to beat Dodgers in Game 1
By HAL McCOY UNSOLICITED OBSERVATIONS from The Man Cave after eating too much at the Our Lady of the Rosary fish fry, by far the best fish fry in the Dayton area (And no it is not because Nadine teaches at OLR, the fish is scrumptious). —Raise your hand if your neighborhood palm reader told […]
