What Went Wrong: Where's the Offense, Rays?!
In any postseason, it is never good to be the first one eliminated, but someone has to carry that burden. In the case of the 2022 MLB postseason, that unfortunate dishonor went to the Tampa Bay Rays, who were ousted in two games in the best-of-three Wild Card Series by the Cleveland Guardians. For the Rays, this is their second straight postseason appearance since their run to the World Series in 2020. 2021 saw the Rays win a franchise record 100 games and capture the American League East, but they were ousted in the Division Series by the Red Sox. This year, they had a strong campaign that saw them nearly capitalize on the New York Yankees' late-summer skid, but once the Yankees woke back up, the Rays fell off in September, going from the #4 seed (the home Wild Card position) to finishing as the #6 seed, but still qualifying.

Chucky Review: "Halloween II"
At long last, Chucky's back on USA on SyFy, but before that, the latter network aired a block of all of the films, and of course, because it's October, Peacock (NBC's streaming network) has all of the films (except the first one), as well as Season One of the TV series. Speaking of, the second season opener began with a recap of Season One, which ended with the planned endgame that saw an army of Chucky dolls kill several victims inside a movie theater, with Andy Barclay driving off with a number of the dolls with plans to eliminate them. Meanwhile, the show's central characters, Jake Wheeler, Devon Evans, and Lexy Cross, become connected due to their experiences with Chucky, but on a good note, Jake and Devon began their relationship.

She-Hulk Review: "Ribbit and Rip It"
So when we last left Jennifer Walters, her love life took another hit. As it turned out, Josh Miller, Jen's wedding hook-up turned potential love interest, was drinking that Intelligencia kool-aid. However, life, as it often does, moves on, as does Jen's profession, and regarding the latter, Jen is shown with her new client: Eugene Patilio, aka "Leap-Frog." Eugene's complaint involved accusing Luke Jacobson, designer of the superheros, of making a faulty supersuit, as it caught on fire during one of his missions. Upon hearing Luke's name, Jen had one problem: Luke makes suits for her as well; in fact, he was in the process of making a gown for the Southern California Law Awards gala.

2022 Wild Card Series Preview
The MLB Postseason is here! I've always enjoyed baseball's playoffs, I love everything about it, even the little things, such as MLB using the word "postseason" instead of "playoffs." Out of the three leagues that use a series format, MLB has the shortest postseason; the quest to crown a champion takes under a month with very few days off. This year begins the modified postseason that was made official during the lockout in March and April of this year, which features the 12 best teams participating in this round robin tournament. The single-game Wild Card round that has opened the postseason since 2012 is now changed to a best-of-three Wild Card Series, with one series pitting the #3 seed (the lowest division champion) against the #6 seed (the lowest Wild Card), while the other series features the other two Wild Cards (seeded #4 and #5).

Villainess Review: Veruca (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Hard to believe that Buffy the Vampire Slayer turns 30 this year. The original movie came out in 1992 and starred Kristy Swanson in the title role, and among the cult classic's cast included David Arquette, Donald Sutherland, and the late, great Luke Perry. It was five years later that The WB gave us a TV series under the same title, with Sarah Michelle Gellar in the title role that would serve as her first breakout hit and lead her to huge things in her career. She was not the only breakout star from the series; Alyson Hannigan (Willow) went on to do American Pie and also star as Lily Aldrin on How I Met Your Mother, and Seth Green (Oz) would begin a long run as the voice of Chris Griffin on Family Guy, as well as create the hit Adult Swim series, Robot Chicken.

Phillies Complete 2022 Postseason Field
When the Seattle Mariners ended their 21-year postseason drought on September 30, 2022, the Philadelphia Phillies ended up becoming the new owners of the longest current postseason drought in MLB...for three days. At the time of Seattle's clinch, the Phils were on their own path, and on October 3, 2022, it was completed. The Phillies defeated the Houston Astros, 3-0, to clinch the last overall remaining spot in the 2022 MLB Postseason, and end a drought that lasted 11 years.

NFL Week 4 Recap: We Have to Talk About Tua
The NFL's proverbial elephant in the room? It had been there for decades, but it was ignored in the name of the shield and in the name of the sport. What transpired in the Miami Dolphins' Week 3 matchup with the Buffalo Bills would have been ignored if they had taken the right steps to protect the health and well being of their quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa. Tua was lit up during the game, he had clear concussion problems, yet he was sent out there within an instant to finish the game. Even so, the right route in the few days leading to the Thursday night game that kicked off Week 4? Sit Tua. That's all they had to do.

CFL Week 17 Recap: Jockeying For Positions
The CFL calendar has now turned to the month of October, which is always the final full month of the regular season. October features the last holiday of the season: Canadian Thanksgiving, which is always on the second Monday and has football scheduled. It is also the month where the last pieces of the Grey Cup Playoff puzzle are filled, and entering Week 17, two spots remain, as Week 16 saw the BC Lions, the Toronto Argonauts, and the Calgary Stampeders clinch playoff spots.

Seattle Parties Like It's 2001
The date was Friday, September 30, 2022. After the New York Yankees game ended, I saw the ESPN ticker and noticed that the Seattle Mariners were in the bottom of the ninth tied at one, so I switched to MLB Network to see the Mariners at bat. The reason is simple: the Mariners could clinch a postseason berth that evening. Carlos Santana came up short, leaving Cal Raleigh to come to the plate with two outs--one out away from extra innings. I was pulling for a walk-off HR, because it would be so fitting if the long suffering of Mariners fans would end on one swing. Sure enough, that's what happened. Raleigh's shot went long, it went far, and it hit the foul pole. When that ball hit the foul pole, the 21-year itch came to an epic end.

She-Hulk Review: "The Retreat"
We have finally entered the bottom one-third of She-Hulk, with the previous episode seeing Jen engage in a budding relationship with Josh Miller, who she met while attending the wedding of her childhood friend, which also saw Jen engage in another encounter with Titania. All the while, Nikki learned about the existence of Intelligencia, a sinister faction who targets superhumans, with intent on harming and even killing them, and She-Hulk is no exception.

Yankees Are Beasts of the East. Top Story - September 2022.
On September 27, 2022, the New York Yankees defeated the Toronto Blue Jays, 5-2, to clinch the American League East for the 20th time in franchise history, and the first time since 2019. Divisional play began in 1969, with the American and National Leagues divided into two divisions: East and West (the Central Divisions were formed in 1994). It wasn't until 1976 that the Yankees won the AL East for the first time, but despite that long wait, the Yankees' 20 division titles are the most in the division's history, with the Boston Red Sox being second with 10, which is half of the total of their hated rivals.

NFL Week 3 Recap: The Two 12s
Similar to literally every football fan in existence, I had Week 3 of the 2022 NFL season circled on my (mental) calendar for the very same reason: Packers vs Buccaneers. A battle between a pair of hallowed quarterbacks in Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady, possibly the final battle of their careers, unless the fates allow them to clash in January. For this Packers fan, it was an opportunity to get off a small schnide against the Brady Bucs, as both meetings went the way of Tampa Bay. The meetings both took place in the 2020 season, with the first one being in Tampa Bay, but the damning one was the NFC Championship at Lambeau--a 31-26 victory by the Bucs.
