good morning everyone – and I hope all our Florida hoddlers are staying safe

There are few noises that capture the electricity of sports quite like a home run during the MLB playoffs. But a grand slam? Deafening.
That was a grand slam from Francisco Lindor you just saw. Down 0-1 against the Philadelphia Phillies in the NLDS, the Mets shortstop went yard in the bottom of the sixth inning to send his team up against the Phils.
And with one swing of a bat, the NLDS was effectively decided. The Mets are going through!
It’s quite a shock on paper, but I’m not too surprised by this. The Mets were in playoff mode for a couple weeks now, notably getting that key game against the Braves to get into the playoffs themselves.
Not bad considering where they were at the beginning of the season.
What’s next for New York’s finest team? Well, that’s to be determined, but they’ll be going to California. Either San Diego or Los Angeles.
I’m mostly happy I still get to enjoy some sports with Spurs on break, but man do I miss watching Spurs. Just one more week.
