Today's UPDATES

Four NBA teams tipping off the 2018-19 season Two incredible MLB Postseason games, and One historic night for WWE SmackDown, life in sports is pretty good right now, and that's all I've got to say about that. Although, I do want to talk about the two MLB games last night so let's get into it all right in our Max Sports rundown. First, the Game 3 of the ALCS took place in Houston last night and the Astros were attempting to go up 2-1 in their series against the Red Sox, but the Sox were off to a fast start scoring two tuns in the first innings while the Astros got only one. Luckily, the Astros tied the game at 2-2 in the fifth inning until the Red Sox homered in the sixth to go back up 3-2, and then in the eighth they would get some much needed insurance. It started with the bases loaded for the Red Sox and Mitch Moreland was hut by a pitch causing everybody to move up a bases and for Brock Holt to walk home to make it 4-2, then Jackie Bradley Jr. hit a Grand Slam to drive in four more runs, and from then now the Red Sox won 8-2. They will try to go 3-1 in ALCS in tonight's crucial Game 4 and maybe even win the whole series tomorrow in Game 5, meanwhile, we've got a battle on our hands in the NLCS between the Brewers and Dodgers. LA's Finest took the lead in the first inning of Game 5 last night and lead 1-0 until the inning when the Brewers scored a run of their own. The game remained until it went into extra innings with both showing off tremendous defense and pitching, either one would let the other one score, Most people on the East and Central coast were probably fast asleep when the game was finally over, I listened to the game on the radio clock in my bedroom and I had heard that both the benches on both teams cleared out due to a brief argument. I soon dozed off to sleep and when I woke up this morning, I found that Cody Bellinger made the game-winning RBI in the 13th inning, and the Dodgers would win 2-1. Tonight will be a monumental Game 5 between the Dodgers and Brewers with the NLCS tied at 2-2, it will be determine who can win two more games to clinched a spot in the World Series, but before that can happen, check out what's on this week and a few other results from last night.

It's time for another installment of #JustSoYouKnow, and how about that? The #KlicKNet viewers get back-to-back moments in one week alone. We've got three different stories and we'll get to see all of them in a #TwitterTrend-style format like yesterday, first, we have confirmation that Marvel Studios' latest film in production "Spider-Man: Far From Home" has wrapped up filming this week. The sequel to 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming is set for a July 2019 release, but fans have already voiced their excitement for the movie, which comes out two months after the untitled Avengers movie which he still do not know what the official title is or what Avengers 4 is going to be about. Here's something we do know, and it doesn't involve Marvel, it involves The CW's upcoming DC Crossover event coming in December titled "Elseworlds." Green Arrow star Stephen Amell has been sharing some behind-the-scenes photos from multi-show crossover between The Flash, Arrow and Supergirl, including Tyler Hoechlin in the iconic black version of Superman's suit, and even better Stephen Amell has switched costumes with Flash Star Grant Gustin. He didn't say why or what is going in this year's crossover on The CW, but from the looks of thing it's going to be one of the best ones yet. It's a shame that we won't how it will all play out until early December, but here's something else that we know and it doesn't involves CW shows, it involves the LIVE 1,000th episode of WWE SmackDown. SmackDown has always had a rich history which is much different from Raw's, this showed earned it name from a famous catchphrase from the People's Champion The Rock. He explained yesterday the origins of the word SmackDown on Twitter, despite the fact he did not appear in last night's 1,000th episode celebration. If not for The Rock, there would probably be no word like SmackDown in the dictionary let alone a weekly show named after it, and with 1,000th episodes now in the books, the show looks forward to even bigger milestones such as its 20th Anniversary and its astonishing move to Friday Nights on FOX. For more are these three great stories, here's a bunch of random tweets that will viewers with a smile on their face.

It seems like Spider-Man: Far From Home has wrapped filming surprisingly quickly which means that they're currently heading into post-production so Marvel & Sony will unveiled the 1st trailer sooner rather than later which I cannot wait.

The Rock tells a story for SmackDown 1000

Dwayne Johnson @TheRock

Huge #SD1000 congrats to my @WWE family!
Fun fact, in 1998, I said to @VinceMcMahon “I’m gonna use the word ‘Smackdown’ tonight in my promo”. He said what’s that mean? I said it means I’m gonna whup some ass. He belly laughed and said say it!
The rest was history! #IfYaSmell 🎤

Ethan Harmon @EthanWritesHarm

I wish I could do a, "It doesn't matter!" here. But, I can't. The Rock made this show, and every show, along with Stone Cold, and everyone one in the Attitude and beyond, memorable. Thanks for the good times.

Kazeem Famuyide @RealLifeKaz

(I remember watching the first ever smackdown in middle school with The Rock, Triple H and HBK, and I’m working the 1,000th episode this week...life really is dope)

Errick @Errick_1291
Over the years on #SDLive, we've seen the return of Cactus Jack, the sliding People's Elbow from The Rock, the rise of John Cena, the legendary feud between Undertaker and Edge, Brock Lesnar unexpectedly turning on Kurt Angle, man I can go on and on. Classic moments! #SD1000

Last night was really, for some reason my YouTube app was working on my phone, but then I learned that it was only me who was dealing with this problem. The entire YouTube streaming service was suffering from a major outage worldwide meaning that to was down for almost everyone in the world who uses YouTube, but luckily the service went back up at 11PM last night as if nothing had happened, so I am going to do my best to ignore and talk about another story that caught my eye last night. Apparently, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, may longer play in Anaheim for the foreseeable future because they have opted out of their lease with Angel Stadium, but it's not all certain that they will leave. Given the fact it sets up the stage for another round of negotiations over whether the team remains in its longtime host city or finds a new home elsewhere in Southern California, it's seem hardly real that they would actually get rid of the fourth-oldest ballpark in major league baseball behind Fenway Park, Wrigley Field and Dodger Stadium. But then again, it could work in favor of Disneyland which has been trying for years to expanded its wonderful and on the heels of the cancelled Disney Hotel that meant to be built in Downtown Disney, it would make perfect sense for them to build a third park and new hotels right where Angel Stadium and its parking lot currently stand with the large amount of space they have over there. But this is all just my opinion and I'm sure that a lot of Disney fans would agree with me, with tension within Anaheim City Hall not looking really good, it will be very important for the people of the city to go to the polls on November 6th, not just for the Midterm Election but also to elect a new Mayor and City Council that deal with the Angels' situation and will have a better working relationship with Disney. For now, here's a Web Choice playlist surrounding both Disney's Hotel drama and the Angels' choice to opt out with its stadium.
