In 1986, I was in seventh grade, and my favorite baseball team was playing in Game 7 of the World Series. As I recall, that game was on a Monday night, and the question of whether I should stay up to watch the pivotal game. . . actually this was never a question. As much as my parents wanted to spare me the embarrassment of falling asleep in a pool of drool on my desk in math class the following morning, they also knew they were fighting an uphill battle. I was an irrational Mets fan at the height of my irrational baseball fandom, and if it came to it, would have picketed our front yard with a bullhorn, or at the very least snuck out of my bedroom to watch the game at the local bar.
Fast forward three decades, and my oldest son is in seventh grade, and his team is in Game 7 of the World Series. It’s not the same team, because I’ve noted before that this son is infuriatingly independent-minded. But the parallel is worth nothing, and now that I have at least created the facade of being a..

(Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)Game 7s always get the juices flowing, but one man with seemingly no ties to either the Los Angeles Dodgers or the Houston Astros will be more into how the World Series concludes than anyone. Or rather, he'll be more invested.

According to RJ Bell, a Vegas handicapper who provides odds to the Associated Press, one gambler has correctly picked the first six games of the World Series, netting him a whopping $14 MILLION. Even more incredible is that he is believed to be letting it ride again on Wednesday night's game.

Halloween 2017 is officially a wrap, and it's time to turn the page to November and Thanksgiving. Soon it will be Christmas, and even sooner it will be Masters Thursday… we don't mean to rush, but, get excited people.
But first, we rounded up all the best golf-related costumes from October 31st, and there were some good ones. We'll kick it off with the best-of-the-best and move our way down from there. Not to declare a “winner” of Halloween, since literally everyone on the internet “won” Halloween in some capacity, but this kid just might have:

The attention to detail here is impeccable. From the Polo and Citi logos to the tie, to the shoes, it's very well done. If we had to nitpick though, where's the Scotty Cameron putter? Almost perfect. Now, on to the rest…

LAS VEGAS — For 10 days this fall, some of the best putters — and certainly, the most avid — descended on Sin City for the inaugural Major Series of Putting. Hailing from all around the country and beyond, they played for big checks under bright lights while showcasing a wide variety of strokes on the green. Here's some of what I saw in my three days covering the event.
Construction for the MSOP Stadium began in August. It was built in a parking lot just off the Vegas strip, behind Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The plan was for this to be a temporary structure, but tournament organizers are hoping it becomes a permanent destination, much like Topgolf Las Vegas, which sits about a pitching wedge away (that's Topgolf's net in the background).

SHANGHAI (AP) Justin Rose was down to his last couple of events when he rallied from eight shots behind at the HSBC Champions to keep alive an important streak. This is his eighth consecutive year with at least one victory.

His streak on the PGA Tour ended last year, though Rose counts the gold medal he won in the Olympics.

”I’ve prided myself on winning every year since 2010,” Rose said. ”It’s becoming harder and harder to win out here, as I’ve found out. It’s not really a complete year unless you’ve hoisted a trophy. So I’m happy to have that box ticked in 2017.”

Rose had three runner-up finishes this year, including a playoff loss to Sergio Garcia in the Masters. The others were the Sony Open and BMW Championship, though he was not in serious contention in either. He finished seven behind Justin Thomas in Hawaii and five behind Marc Leishman in Chicago.

”Winning is a habit, and I felt like I was getting out of the habit,” he said. ”The Masters, I..

Let’s just get this out of the way right now: Samuel Adams’ latest creation ain’t your dad’s Boston Lager [pronounced law-gah]. Clocking in at 28% ABV and $200, the 2017 installment of Sam’s annual ultra-craft “Utopias” release is, simply put, one of the wildest beers to ever hit shelves this side of the Atlantic.
Already declared illegal in 12 states (Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, and Washington), the 2017 Utopias is a rich Barleywine-style ale that starts with a blend of two-row pale malt and Munich and Caramel 60 malts and only gets crazier from there.
After that, several different strains of alcohol-resistant yeast—including a badass “ninja yeast”—are added to the brew’s various batches and then aged up to 24 years in everything from Buffalo Trace bourbon casks to Scandinavian Aquavit barrels. The result is one of the most decadent beers in existence—one that is, in fact, so boozy the alco..

The first models of the iPhone X (pronounced “Marv”) will begin shipping to sweaty-fingered customers this week, but not to you, unless you’re the kind of person who sets an alarm for 3 a.m. so you can shove into the Apple Store at the crack of Pacific Midnight to order your new electronic spouse. (It’s cool — I once waited two February hours outside a Blockbuster to be first in line for “Weird Al” Yankovic tickets, so really, you do you.) If you’re not, you will most likely be waiting until Apple fills its underground bunker full of back orders, which means you’re probably getting yourself an iPhone X for Valentine’s Day, that was nice of yourself.
But don’t worry! The Internet is full of hopelessly awkward tech bloggers who’ve already sampled the iPhone X for you, usually on camera, for like 20 minutes at a time, because content! And early reports from bald 33-year-olds in black rimmed glasses are clear: The iPhone X is very much like the thing you already keep close to your bed, exc..
