Monday’s Toffee Bites: Spurs and Palace want Ademola Lookman from Everton

Let’s step away from football for a minute today. Has anyone been watching the MLB playoffs? They have been pretty fantastic so far, no? OK, the starting pitching has been a bit disappointing. But how about Jose Altuve’s three-homer game, or David Price working out of the bullpen again, or Archie Bradley’s triple, or Bryce Harper’s bomb, and his hair! My team (the Orioles) didn’t make it to October, but I’m digging it anyway.
