Who doesn’t love post season baseball?  Well, lucky for all of us, it’s October!  Playoff baseball starts today - with the Phillies vs. Rockies and then tonight with the Yankees vs. Twins.  The Phillies are the reigning World Series champs, but the Rockies have had a great 2nd half of the season.  The Yankees have home field advantage and a line up full of stars, but the Twins are the hottest team in baseball right now - so who will pull it off tonight?  And that’s just today’s match ups!  Tomorrow there’s LA Dodgers vs. St. Louis and Boston vs. LA Angels - will Manny or Puljos come out on top?  The Sox or the Angels?  It’s all up in the air - because it’s October, and that means it’s anybody’s game.  Check back for more updates later this week!

The 2016 Olympics are up for grabs - and it’s a toss up for the IOC between Chicago, Madrid, Rio de Janeiro & Tokyo. The news comes out today - so one city is about to change forever. Sporting News Today breaks down 3 reasons each city could win and 3 reasons each could lose - and it looks like it’s anybody’s game. Chicago’s a good pick - President Obama and Oprah think so - because of it’s picturesque scene on Lake Michigan. Madrid? They have more than 3/4 of the facilities completed, so it’s a city that’s ready to go. The Olympics have never been to South America, making Rio a great choice as well. And Tokyo? They’ve got a big focus on environmental sustainability, which is a hot topic of late. So really, 2016 could have the Olympics anywhere, but where will the IOC pick?
