OTM Open Thread 10/2: It is Friday

Happy Friday everyone. It’s not quite the action-packed day of baseball we’ve gotten accustomed to the last couple of days, but there are a couple of games. First up is Cubs-Marlins, with the latter team having a chance to end the series. This is Game Two after it was postponed due to weather on Thursday. Miami will be starting their exciting rookie Sixto Sánchez while potential NL Cy Young Yu Darvish goes for Chicago. First pitch there is at 3:08 PM ET on ABC. Then, at 7:08 PM ET, the Padres look to keep the momentum from their comeback victory over the Cardinals last night in a decisive Game Three tonight. That one is on ESPN and features Jack Flaherty going up against former Red Sox great TBD. Over in the world of basketball, meanwhile, the Lakers look to take a 2-0 series lead over the Heat in the finals tonight. That one tips off at 9:00 PM ET. Use this space to discuss whatever you’d like. As always, just be nice to each other.
