Sunday was a good day for a couple of sportsball teams whose primary colors are red and white; adding to the goodness, razor-thin wins over their most hated ancestral rivals. In No. London, England, U.K., your Arsenal Football Club made a 68th-minute header by Gabriel stand-up for a 1-nil (‘one-nil to the Arsenal! one-nil…’) away victory over Spuds. A little later in the day, in the breakaway colony of Pennsylvania, in the politically seminal city of Philalala, your Phightin’ Phils, courtesy of a walk-off hit by J.T. Realmuto against the hapless Edwin Diaz, defeated the New York Baseball Metropolitans 2-1, taking the rubber match of the three-game series. #COYG #RINGTHEBELL!
At the end of today’s action, the Arsenal remain undefeated to start the season, with 10 pts. from four matches, second in the table behind dirty Man City. Your Phillies have a magic number of 6 to clinch their first N.L. East title since 2011.
