What happened on Sunday, October 26?

  1. The Giants Ace Game Five: The San Francisco Giants won game five of the World Series thanks largely to their ace pitcher, Madison Bumgarner, who threw a complete game shutout. That means he pitched for all nine innings and didn’t let in a single run. The Kansas City Royals tried their best but just couldn’t figure out how to manufacture a run against him. The Giants are now one win away from winning their third World Series in five years.
    Line: The Royals were being held up as potentially having invented a new strategy in baseball. Last night taught us that nothing beats a great starting pitcher.
    What’s Next: Game Six is Tuesday night at 8 p.m. ET on Fox. 
  2. An overstuffed day of NFL football: On most Sundays during the fall, there’s NFL football on television from 1 p.m. ET to around 11:30 p.m. ET. Yesterday, the league one-upped itself by starting its first game at 9:30 a.m. ET. That’s fourteen hours of straight football! Just in case you didn’t watch it all, we’ve got one liners about all the games, so you can talk about them at work today.
    Line: Woke up, watched football, went to sleep.
  3. CONCACAF Champions: The United States Women’s national soccer team finished off its World Cup qualifying run in the CONCACAF (The Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football) region with a 6-0 win over Costa Rica. American Hero, Abby Wambach, scored four goals to bring her total up to 177, the most of any woman or man in international competition. The American team was dominant during this World Cup qualifying tournament. Not only didn’t they lose a game but they weren’t even scored on once.
    Line: [silently bows down to show respect for Wambach and co.]
