It'll be tough to think of a bigger sporting day than today, at least as far as this fan is concerned. Here we go with today's RM:At 7:30pm on GolTV, Toronto FC travel to New York to face the Red Bulls in a win-and-you-could-well-be-in game tonight. Of course, there are a couple games that impact as well later in the night, but if things happen as they should, TFC could well be fixin' for a playoff game, likely next Saturday, and what a day that would be at BMO Field. Here's the preview from the good folks at Red Nation, who have TFC pencilled in as 2-0 victors.
At 7:57pm on SportsNet, the first pitch in Game 6 of the ALCS will fly at Yankee Stadium in The Bronx and while it is an elimination game for the Anaheim Angels, there is plenty of pressure on the Yanks as if they go to a Game 7 and win, that pushes ace CC Sabathia to starting Game 2 and only a pair in the World Series, a vastly different proposition than if he's in for three games potentially if they win tonight. My head and heart tell me that Andy Pettitte gets the job done at home.
And starting at 10pm, UFC 104 gets under way. Lyoto Machida faces Shogun Rua in the main event, and methinks Rua will be disposed of in short order. Something tells me that Joe Stevenson and Spencer Fisher will steal the show in their fight, probably because neither is shy about attacking even at the expense of eating a few punches, kicks or otherwise. Check out the entire card here.
Former Washington Redskins running back and Super Bowl legend John Riggins is following up his verbal beatdown of the organization last week by blaming the "state of decay" of the squad on owner Daniel Snyder. Gee, ya think? The NFL's best team every march has continually struggled to function come September and on, but thanks for stating the obvious J.R.
It's almost NBA season - and didn't that sneak up on us? - so why not a peak at the Top 10 NBA WAG's.
Philadelphia Phillies fans celebrated their NLCS win by having 49 arrested in post-victory celebrations. If that's what they did after the NLCS, it could get real interesting if they win the World Series.
A six game EPL card goes today with very few sexy matchups on the schedule today. Tomorrow, however, sees old rivals Liverpool visit Manchester United. Both teams have piles of injuries: Liverpool is down Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres while United is likely minus Wayne Rooney. United should have more than enough to dominate that shoddy Liverpool back line, especially at home.
The Vancouver Canucks are in Toronto to try to keep the Maple Leafs winless streak rolling. The Leafs are the lone NHL side without a win.
Have a great Saturday.

That twitter widget is cool as fuck.
I'm going to call a 0-0 draw for TFC game.
Dilema of living in Toronto:
I want to watch TFC instead of the Laughs this evening. Not one pub/bar I know will do that.
apparently they're watching footie at shoeless joe's near bmo.
(woops ... forgot the RPB fall out haha.)
that's the dilemma of canada, bro, not just toronto.
we were gonna go out to watch it but realized no way in hell would we get sound anywhere.
0-0? COME ON YF!
hahaah at the shoeless thing. Would love to walk into shoeless with my Yank gear on and slip the waitress a 50 to put the bigscreen on the yank game.
As for TFC. They'll still make it. Sounders, Wizards, and Crew will all win. Just can't trust that NYC weather and nfl lines.
Found a great site that breaks down teams' playoffs chances for any sport.

If no sound means no De Vos, then I'm all for no sound!
TFC win 3-0. Yeah, three.
