The Edmonton Eskimos will try to snap a two game losing streak to their provincial rivals, the Calgary Stampeders, when they face the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Ivor Wynne Stadium this afternoon (TSN, 1pm).
The Eskimos may be sitting last in the Western Division at 5-5, but with a victory can move an important six points up on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in a possible opportunity to cross-over in the East come playoff time, if they cannot make up ground on the 5-5 Saskatchewan Roughriders.
This week the Eskimos and Tiger-Cats also made a trade. Edmonton acquired fullback Darcy Brown from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for defensive back Ricardo Colclough and a sixth round pick in the 2015 Canadian Football League draft.

Over the next two days we will see three dramatic baseball games where it is going to come down to one ball game to determine who will advance to the League Championship Series.
Yesterday, the St. Louis Cardinals forced a fifth and deciding game against the Philadelphia Phillies and the Arizona Diamondbacks forced a fifth and deciding game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Both game fives will take place Friday night with the winners advancing to the NLCS.
In St. Louis yesterday, Cardinals’ third baseman David Freese came into the spotlight and collected a double and a home run in a 5-3 St. Louis victory. Despite going 0-for-4, Cardinals’ first baseman Albert Pujols was excellent defensively. Cardinals’ starter Edwin Jackson gave up two first inning runs, but the shut the Phillies’ down over his next five innings of work.
In Phoenix last night, the Diamondbacks got another grand slam. Third baseman Ryan Roberts collected one in the first inning in a 10-6 slugfest. Centerfielder Chris Young also became the first Diamondback player in postseason history to hit two home runs in a game.
Tonight the New York Yankees host the Detroit Tigers in Game Five of the ALDS. The Yankees are going with Ivan Nova and the Tigers are going with Doug Fister.

Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir (David J. Philip, Associated Press)
The National Hockey League playoffs will dominate my television viewing this weekend, but this morning I will have a little diversion.
The World Figure Skating Championships takes place in Moscow, and Canada is in an excellent position to win a second Gold medal. Olympic Gold medallists Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue of London, Ontario currently lead the ice dance competition after the short program. The long program goes this morning (11am, www.cbc.ca), with Virtue and Moir leading Americans Meryl Davis and Charlie White 0.53 points. Virtue and Moir have 74.29 points and Davis and White have 73.76 points. Keep an eye out for Virtue’s leg however, as she was recently diagnosed with compartment syndrome. The team had to pull out of the Four Continents event leading up to the Worlds.
Here are the other events I’ll be watching:
Saturday–1pm–NHL Eastern Conference Semi-Final, Game 1–Boston Bruins @ Philadelphia Flyers–NBC–Last year, the Bruins and Flyers played an epic Eastern Conference semi-final with the Flyers winning in seven games after they lost the first three in the series. This year, the Flyers have the home ice advantage. I like Boston in this series because they seem to be more stable than Philadelphia at the goaltending position. Tim Thomas is playing better now than when he won the Vezina Trophy two years ago.
