Sports this weekend

Last night’s World Series game was tough. I’m not even a true Rockies fan (just a bandwagoner) and it was still painful.

As sports fans, we really need the Rockies to comeback. The Red Sox winning another World Series would turn them into a Yankee-type franchise. And we certainly don’t need one of those.

Here’s your weekend sports listings. As usual, only sports I follow are included (no auto racing, sorry). All times are Pacific and I list only games on national TV networks.
