↵Major League Baseball
↵World Series Game 1 -- St. Louis Cardinals vs. Texas Rangers, 7:30 p.m. (FOX): Six-and-a-half months of baseball have all led up to this. Having fought their way through some terrific pitchers en route to the Fall Classic, these two postseason powerhouses seem to promise a major shootout. For at least the first game, though, the Rangers will have to contend with one of the few starters who have proven reliable this postseason in Chris Carpenter. Can C.J. Wilson turn things around, or are the Rangers on their way to an early deficit in the final series of the year?

UEFA Champions League
↵Barcelona vs. Viktoria Plzen, 2:30 p.m. (CSN): The pickings are slim, but if you're looking to maybe give some European soccer a try, you might want to wait for a game that doesn't promise to be such an absolute beatdown.
