The Ultimate Postseason Matchup: Chicago Cubs-St. Louis Cardinals Postseason Game

If you thought that the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers battling it out in the postseason was the match up to see, think again when it comes down to these two teams.

Tonight's the night that I've been waiting for and part of me isn't waiting for, I'm talking about the National League Divisional Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs.

This is literally the World Series of the MLB National League Central. One the best team this year up against the best young team.

I can't tell you how much I'm so nervous but excited about this match up. It can go either way no matter how you solve the puzzle of this match up.

This shouldn't be the NLDS this should be the National League Championship Series. Sorry Mets/Dodgers fans, but this match up will have more television viewers than yours.

Ever since the second of half the season, the Cubs have gotten the Cardinals number and taken at least half of the games series that goes back and forth.

I'll admit that I'm a Cubs fan. Yes, I'm a lovable loser. I embrace the title no matter how you make fun of it.

I live with my grandparents (my grandmother: Cub fan & grandfather: Cardinal fan) it's hard to be around them when they take it a bit seriously. But we all love each other.

Tonight's pitchers are John Lester (11-12) and John Lackey (13-10). In this pitching match up, I'll take Lester over Lackey. Lester has a better postseason record than Lackey. I remember how not good he can be when it came for pitching for the Red Sox and Angeles.

So for who will win the series, I'm taking the Cubs in 5. This will be a very close match. All I'm hoping is for great series but for the Cubs to go through to the NLCS.

Because as it said in Back to the Future II, the Cubs win the World Series and who hopes that comes true?

Crushing the Past: Weekend Catch Up Part 6

Here's another edition of Weekend Catch Up.

Suits "Hitting Home" 

In this week's episode of "Suits," we get to learn why Harvey is what he is when it comes to dating and other relationships.

Seems Jessica seems to know what Jack Soloff is up to with trying to take away her company. When Jack tries to make things right, she has Mike helping with him, but more of keeping an eye on him instead. But Jack seems that even if he tries to help and not give information to another company, he has a change of heart.

Harvey on the other hand finally opens up about his past. He tells the story when he found his mother sleeping with a "cousin" and ask not to tell dad. This was when he was sick and coming from school. That moment triggered what Harvey is today and it shows when Louis' sister ask him to help with a lawsuit and than a date.

Harvey turns her down both times. She tries to open with him but he shuts her down cold. When she goes to tell Louis that she can't go with him and Donna. Louis soon figures it out that Harvey and her slept together and it turned into a heated battle.

This happens to be one of it's best episodes as for Harvey's storyline. It as well told and give a great explanation of why Harvey is so Harvey.  Also I don't think that Donna and Harvey could be friends with what just happen here. She wants t help give advice but he doesn't want any advice from a friend.

Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10
You can catch "Suits" Wednesday nights at 9/8c on NBC


Hannibal "And the Woman Clothed in Sun" 


Holy crap!! The ending to this episode was amazing and thrilling when Will and the Tooth Fairy finally meet and had a nice five second dance before escaping.

The Tooth Fairy had his conversation with Lecter and even had a flashback with him. It was kind of mind blowing when he blossomed into the Red Dragon in front of Lecter like that.

Also, taking his ray of sunshine, the speech therapist with him and had a stay in date night after going to the zoo.

And I couldn't forget Gillian Anderson's role in this episode, with her character's conversation with Will about if you came in front of a wounded bird would you help it? Both agree to help but she would crush it, because everything and everyone needed to be crush and she tells it with so so cold.

That had to be my second favorite scene in the episode. This episode was really well written and flat down mind blowing with the special effects with the Tooth Fairy and his therapist when she pets the tiger.

Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

You can catch "Hannibal" Saturday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

Sports thoughts:

I thought that this is Sunday that I would put in a couple of sports thoughts today in this post.

Cubs on a Roll
The Chicago Cubs are on a roll. Sweeping the San Francisco Giants 4-0 this weekend and winning today's game 2-0 in a dramatic ending.

The Cubs look great and are in the playoff hunt for the second Wild Card. Maybe Back to the Future could be right, the Cubs could win it in 2015?

The Lost of a Giant
I want to take this time to give my thoughts and prayers to the family of Frank Gifford. News today that he had passed away this morning, it's just heartbreaking. Frank was on the great giants of the NFL. Heck, I think he was the definition of what the NFL stood for, when he played.

I enjoyed watching him and Kathie Lee together on The Today Show. He was such an amazing legendary broadcaster, football player and human being.
