World Series Preview

-
So, it pains me to even think about a World Series starting with the 27-Time World Champion Greatest Franchise in the History of American Sports on the sideline.

"Stop living in the past," my friends say when I post 27 on their message boards.

"Yesterday was the past," I write back. "Ten minutes ago was the past. We have to live in the past, you dopey bastard."

They don't know how to answer that.

But we have the Suck Sox going for title #6 against the Cardinals going for title #12.

Still a long ways to go, people.

27 minus 6 = 21 more than the Suck Sox.

27 minus 12 = 15 more than the Cards.

Still really safe.

But I won't be watching much, despite my love of baseball.

First, Joe Buck and Tim McCarver are mind-numbingly stupid. I always tell my kids that if I ever stand right before each man I'd wait for them to extend their hand to shake and then I'd punch them in the jaw.

They've caused me way too much angst with their stupid analysis of my game.

Secondly, Fox handles baseball like it's football with all the camera angles, and showing fans picking their noses, and showing their own stupid actors on their own stupid shows.

Unless Stewie Griffin shows up at one of the games I ain't interested.

And then the Suck Sox are there.

With nary a mention of the fact that Ortiz failed the same drug test that A-Rod failed.

With shots of their disgusting beards and filthy helmets.

You all understand that I'm a snappy dresser, right?

Clean yourselves up.

And the Cardinals are there.

I'm not a fan of hearing about how great their franchise is run.

Look up.

27 to 11.

Boston Versus St. Louis.

Yipeeeeeeee.

Buckhead and McDumbass.

Cards win it in 6.

I'm right there with you on the series! I'm a Dodgers girl, so I could care less who wins, baseball season ended Friday for me. But I digress. I wanted to know if you had seen where some poor sap (dope as you call it) sold a WS ticket to tonights game for $3 on stubhub. Assuming of course he meant to sell it for $300? I can only assume it was a Boston fan selling it. Google it, you'll find it and have a laugh. Only 150 days til opening day! :-)

Suits

-
Like a lot of other people we got pulled into the series, ‘Suits’ on Netflix. I’ve never had much fun hanging around lawyers who have questioned me as a construction safety officer. I once testified in a case where the opposing lawyer started questioning me by going through my educational background. “So,” he said, racing to a crescendo, “You graduated from college with a degree in Communications-Journalism and suddenly, 30 years later, you’re a ‘safety expert.’” He actually made the quotation marks with his fingers. I just looked at him. “How does that happen?” He bellowed, sure that he was going to discredit me. “Well,” I said. “I knew I was overqualified to become a lawyer.” The courtroom erupted in laughter. Even the judge chuckled. The rest of his questions landed flat. So, I wasn’t all that keen on a show about lawyers, but ‘Suits’ is great. Meghan Markle became a princess because of the show, and she is very good in it (and a beautiful woman). Yet, there is so much more. The wri

My Buddy, Dave

-
Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I bet you tha

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C’mon, Oliver,”
