    GAME. BLOUSES.

    In the longest nine-inning postseason game (4 hours and 32 minutes) in Major League Baseball history, the Los Angeles Dodgers dealt the latest heartache to Washington, D.C., sports fans. The Dodgers are off to the National League Championship Series to face the Chicago Cubs after taking Thursday night’s game at Nationals Park, 4-3, in Game 5 of the National League Divisional Series. Los Angeles won the final two contests in the best-of-five series.

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts won the chess match against Nationals manager Dusty Baker in the first-ever playoff series featuring two black managers, and did so by bringing in ace Clayton Kershaw for the final two outs after he threw 110 pitches in Game 4.

    Canadian Michal Kapral ran a marathon in 2 hours and 55 minutes.

    Oh, yeah, forgot to mention that he did it while juggling. Also forgot to mention that he did it without dropping a single ball.

    I can’t run a marathon or juggle, so I just have no choice but tip my cap to this man.
