Happy Wednesday, ladies and gentlemen — especially if you’re a Phillies fan. Philadelphia had another offensive explosion in Game 2 of the NLCS on Tuesday night, delivering a 10-0 shellacking to the Diamondbacks to take a commanding 2-0 series lead. Tonight, the MLB Postseason continues with Game 3 of the ALCS between the Astros and Rangers. The Rangers are up 2-0 after winning the first two games in Houston, and now the Astros will need a road win when they take the field in Arlington. Elsewhere in the sports world, we will be treated to two NHL games, two college football games, and Game 4 of the WNBA Finals between the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty. With all of that being said, let’s jump right into things and check out some of the headlines from around the web we may have missed.

It may not be playoff hockey, but there’s something beautiful about hearing a shot ricochet off of the post and into the back of the net for an overtime winner.
Food of the Day
When I squeeze the bun on a burger I want to feel that hot brioche perfume hit my face from the interior. That’s our burger – Toasted, soft bun, buttery interior, meltingly tender burger, light cheese skirt, crispy beef edges. pic.twitter.com/0auIoaoWy0
