Another brewers come back. Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with sports baseball. The brewers were the 73 win over the Cubs last night in Milwaukee. The crew now up two games to none in the best of five series, which now moves to Chicago tomorrow afternoon just after four o'clock manager Pat Murphy.
How does this team have the best record in baseball? Then nobody predicted they'd be over 500 and then we have all the injuries. Certainly nobody was banking on us.
The Cubs now down two games to nothing after after getting off to a great start. You know those mistakes for two three on homers is going to be you're not going to win playoff games giving up two three on homers.
This is too much to overcome. That's Cubs manager Craig Council was sports on Mike Clemens.
On your entertainment beat. I'm Pete Schwabba to new releases crack the top five at the box office over the weekend Taylor Swift had the number one album in the country after the official release party of a show girl dropped on October 3rd.
She also has the number one film in America with her 89 minute feature length film Taylor Swift the official release party of a show girl.
The other film debuting was a bit of a disappointment numbers wise despite getting a rousing standing ovation that lasted several minutes at the can film festival.
Dwayne the rock Johnson's the smashing machine was a bit of a box office dud opening with just six million bucks.
The former wrestler got lots of praise for his performance. Maybe it will have legs Paul Thomas Anderson's critically acclaimed one battle after another slipped a number two in its second week after opening number one.
The film brought in a little over 11 million bucks for a drop off of less than 50% which is impressive.
Don't be surprised if opening number one next week is a video of Taylor Swift just doing household chores.
Even though she said no to performing at the Super Bowl halftime show Taylor Swift is on top again as her new album The Life of a Showgirl dropped on October 3rd and went right to number one.
If that weren't enough, Swift also has the number one movie in America with her 89 minute video celebrating a release of a new album called Taylor Swift the official release party of a showgirl.
Saturday night live season 51 kicked off this past weekend and pulled no punches in going after the president after Trump's stunt last week in front of over 800 military higher ups which included a lecture about facial hair and maintaining a reasonable weight.
During the skit James Austin Johnson who played Donald Trump told those in the sketch not to go too far or they would face consequences.
They went pretty far. It's worth a Google went entertainment weekly asked the White House for a statement.
Spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said she had more entertaining things to do like watching paint dry or maybe something even less exciting like a president speech to military generals.
It's been said that nothing good happens after midnight even when something might seem harmless like doing windsprints behind a bar at 12 30 a.m.
Former Jess quarterback and Fox News analyst Mark Sanchez was doing just that after several drinks apparently early Saturday morning.
He led to a physical altercation with a much older man which is still under investigation.
It was first reported that Sanchez was in critical condition with stab wounds but now it's come out that he might have been the instigator of the incident that involved a 69 year old grief truck driver.
According to security tapes both men despite getting physical were trying to record each other with their phones.
Authorities say Sanchez bodies slammed the man to the ground and beat him up a bit before being stabbed two or three times at which point Sanchez ran off.
Mark Sanchez was arrested while recovering in the hospital but has since been released more details are sure to follow with this strange incident.
For more show of his fun tune into night light with me Peach Wabo weeknights from 6 to 8 p.m. on the civic media radio network.
I'm meteorologist Brandon Bourments get ready for a stretch that will actually feel like fall plenty of sunshine for today with highs in the mid 60s.
