Freddie Freeman has now homered in six consecutive World Series games.
New York broke the game open with five runs in the 8th inning.
Game 5 is Wednesday night.
— It is a little strange that Juan Soto has a career on-base %age of .421, but has batted leadoff only twice in his career. You’d think a .421 on-base %age would scream out “leadoff hitter!!!”
— Louisiana 23, Texas State 17
Ragin’ Cajuns led 14-6 at half, kicked three FG’s in second half.
Cajuns QB Wooldridge was 18-28/252 passing, with a TD.

Quote of the Day
“I am no savior. I am here to be a great leader and to be a great teammate and to do my job the best of my ability. And do I feel confident in what I can do? Absolutely. I feel confident in what I can do. I feel confident in what I can bring to our team. And that’s exciting, right? But to save us or anything like that, that’s not me.”
Saints’ QB Derek Carr
Thursday’s quiz

— USC’s basketball team practiced outdoors Wednesday, at Venice Beach; I’ve been there a couple times, great place with lot of shops, restaurants, vendors, not the kind of place you’d expect to see a college basketball practice.
Living is Los Angeles must be tremendous, there is legit fun to have every day.
— White Sox named 42-year old Will Venable their new manager; he played nine years in the major leagues, has been a big league coach since 2017.
White Sox lost 121 games this season, three years after they won the AL Central, but they have some solid prospects on the way, maybe getting there next year and 2026.
— There aren’t any NBA games this coming Tuesday because it is Election Day and it is important that everyone votes.
My polling place is the building where I went to grade school, over 50 years ago; I enjoy going in and taking a look around. It is also important to vote, but looking around is fun.
From 1933-49, there were no elections in Germany, because they weren’t a democracy; it is important that our country remain a democracy, another reason why I’ll vote Tuesday.
— RIP to the popular actress Teri Garr, who passed away this week at age 79.
She was in Tootsie, Mr Mom, Let It Ride, Young Frankenstein; she was nominated for an Oscar for her role in Tootsie. Garr’s quick wit got her a lot of gigs on late-night talk shows with Johnny Carson, David Letterman. Funny lady.
RIP, ma’am.

WKU outgained Kennesaw, 462-272.
— USC’s basketball team practiced outdoors Wednesday, at Venice Beach; I’ve been there a couple times, great place with lot of shops, restaurants, vendors, not the kind of place you’d expect to see a college basketball practice.
Living is Los Angeles must be tremendous, there is legit fun to have every day.
— White Sox named 42-year old Will Venable their new manager; he played nine years in the major leagues, has been a big league coach since 2017.
White Sox lost 121 games this season, three years after they won the AL Central, but they have some solid prospects on the way, maybe getting there next year and 2026.
— There aren’t any NBA games this coming Tuesday because it is Election Day and it is important that everyone votes.
My polling place is the building where I went to grade school, over 50 years ago; I enjoy going in and taking a look around. It is also important to vote, but looking around is fun.
From 1933-49, there were no elections in Germany, because they weren’t a democracy; it is important that our country remain a democracy, another reason why I’ll vote Tuesday.
— RIP to the popular actress Teri Garr, who passed away this week at age 79.
She was in Tootsie, Mr Mom, Let It Ride, Young Frankenstein; she was nominated for an Oscar for her role in Tootsie. Garr’s quick wit got her a lot of gigs on late-night talk shows with Johnny Carson, David Letterman. Funny lady.
RIP, ma’am.
