About 4:30 I walked down to Max&#8217;s Sports Bar, and discovered the Cardinals playoff game on!<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who don&#8217;t know this about me, I grew up watching the Arkansas Travelers, the Double-A farm team of the Cardinals at that time. I had season tickets and got to see many of the stars of the 1980s before they became stars. Although I&#8217;m not huge into baseball these days, I can get into the Cardinals when they make the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately things did not go my way, and the way of most of the other fans in the bar, yesterday, as the Atlanta Braves won to even the best-of-5 series at 1 apiece. The good news, though, is that the series now moves to St. Louis, and since they stole a game on the road, all they have to do is defend home to move on to the NLCS.<\/p>\n<p>Second unexpected surprise: Look what&#8217;s back open!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_5081.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-22720\" src=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_5081.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_5081.jpg?resize=500%2C375 500w, http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_5081.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_5081.jpg?resize=1200%2C900 1200w, http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_5081.jpg?w=1680 1680w, http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_5081.jpg?w=2520 2520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The repairs are done at Earnestine &amp; Hazel&#8217;s, which has operated out of the back room (5 Spot) since July. It looks largely the same, just a little bit cleaner. Interestingly, they moved the pool table to the front of the room. I guess that&#8217;s so people will see it as they walk by when the door is open. I can&#8217;t think of another place in South Main with a pool table so that&#8217;s not a bad idea. On the other hand, putting the table there leaves little room for a band. In any event, it&#8217;s good to have the legendary dive bar back open.<\/p>\n<p>Ooh! River Time Market &amp; Deli is open!

Delicious and they weren&#8217;t shy about loading it up with turkey. I think the next time I get this breakfast sandwich, I may experiment a bit and try pepper jack instead of Swiss.

Those of you coming here from out of town to see the auto show, let me offer an insider tip: Take a short ride out to The Edge District and visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgemotormuseum.com\/\">Edge Motor Museum<\/a> at 645 Marshall while you&#8217;re in town.<\/p>\n<p>Cinnamon Maple is the house-made ice cream flavor of the month at Peabody Deli &amp; Desserts for October.<\/p>\n<p>People going to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/501500620626238\/\">Wine on the River<\/a> tonight are going to have gorgeous weather and perfect temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/484904038999578\/\">Creepville Market<\/a> at Midtown Crossing today. Wonder if they sell Android phones so high middle-aged creeps can drunk text angry messages to female bartenders all hours of the night and then invite them to brunch two minutes later.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s see what we&#8217;ve got on the slate for college football today&#8230; none of the early games really grab my attention, but at 2:30 on CBS we have #7 Florida vs. #10 Auburn in a game that has big time playoff implications. If the Gators lose this game, they&#8217;re probably out of the national championship conversation. If Auburn loses, they will have to win the Iron Bowl against Bama to remain relevant. I don&#8217;t really have a preference in this game, but I suppose I will be inclined to root for Florida to thank them for the ass whoopin&#8217; they put on Tennessee two weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time on ABC, #11 Texas travels to good ole West Virginny in what some are describing as a trap game for the &#8216;horns. There&#8217;s a danger they could be looking ahead to Oklahoma next Saturday and not taking this week&#8217;s opponent seriously. I will be rooting for the boys in burnt orange in this one.<\/p>\n<p>However, I will not be rooting for the girls in prison orange at 6 when they play on ESPN. Georgia is going to wipe up the football field with Tennessee. I&#8217;m gonna guess 41-10 Dawgs on this one. No, let&#8217;s make it 41-9 because the Vols are definitely incompetent enough to miss an extra point.<\/p>\n<p>Dream scenario: Georgia fumbles, a Tennessee player recovers, runs the wrong way and scores an own goal.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s going to be a good Saturday.
