ALDS and Some NFL

By JP

It's Sunday so that means two things: NFL football and game 2 of the ALDS. Last night the Detroit Tigers beat the Boston Red Sox in game 1 in Boston for a 1-0 series lead. Anibal Sanchez, Al Alburquerque, Jose Veras, Drew Smyly, and Joaquin Benoit combined for a 1 hitter and took a no-hit bid into the bottom of the 9th. The final score was 1-0, just like game 2 of the Cardinals' series. It was the first time, if I remember the stat correctly, that two games ended 1-0 on the same day in LCS history. I could look it up, but I am not going to do that. 

Game 2 is tonight as Max Scherzer vs. Clay Buchholz is what could be another pitcher's duel. So, do I watch the game or do I watch NFL football? It's like that old short story, The Lady or the Tiger. And if it's like that, then I guess I cannot tell you what I am going to choose.
