Starter

St. Louis Cardinals vs. L.A. Dodgers, 4:00p.m. (TBS)

There has been some discontent on the part of the Cardinals for what they see as disrespectful celebrations by the Dodgers in this series. What they may not understand is that Adrian Gonzalez was merely at the "sand the floor" stage of his target="_blank">training by Mr. Miyagi.

NBA Preseason

Orlando Magic vs. Houston Rockets, 8:00p.m. (NBA TV)

Dwight Howard was the target of rage from burned Laker fans in a recent preseason game. The new Rockets center was booed when introduced and every time he got the ball by spiteful L.A. faithful. It's not surprising, until you consider that the game was against the Houston vs. Indiana... and it was played in the Philippines.

Boundless, 10:00p.m. (Esquire)

In a promo for this week's episode, which follows the fellas on a canoe race in South Africa, Turbo says, "It was the paddle or my life, so I said f--- the paddle." The right choice -- though, since this is Esquire, it was probably an artisan, hand-crafted leather paddle with custom embossing.
