It’s crunch time for MLB and the WNBA.

The Milwaukee Brewers lead the World Series 2-0 after beating the Tampa Bay Rays Saturday in their seventh postseason comeback.

Off the diamond, an MLB lockout (when owners literally lock players outta the building) seems likely to begin December 1 when the current labor agreement expires. Owners want to institute a salary cap, saying it would curb spending gaps and improve competitive balance; the players’ union vows to never accept one, pointing to this Fall Classic (the first since 1991 between bottom-half spenders) as proof nothing’s broken. 2027 games are at risk.

On the hardwood, the Golden State Valkyries evened the WNBA Finals 2-2 Saturday by slowing the Atlanta Dream’s Angel Reese, whose double-doubles in Games 1-3 had been a Golden State nightmare. Both series resume tonight.

Verse to consider whether your battles are on the court, on the field, in the office, or in the kitchen… “Unless the LORD builds a house, its builders labor over it in vain; unless the LORD watches over a city, the watchman stays alert in vain.”
