2019 Baseball ⚾️ Preview ⚾️

-
The 27-Time World Champion Greatest Franchise in the History of Organized American Sports opened at home against the hapless, putrid Orioles.

This should be a fun year!

The Yankees didn’t sign the shiny, high-priced things and I was good with that. They have enough young talent to get #28.

It won’t be easy, but winning titles never is.

(Right Bills, Orioles, Sabres and Indians fans?)

National League will shake out like this:

NL East - Washington Nationals

NL Central - St. Louis Cardinals

NL West - L.A. Dodgers

NL Wild Cards - Chicago Cubs & Philadelphia Phillies

I like the Nationals over the Dodgers in the NLCS

The Phillies, Mets, Brewers and Rockies will all be good. I just think that the Nationals will be better without Harper.

I’m probably wrong....been waiting for them to win for years!

In the American League, it’s all about the big dogs.

AL West - Houston Astros

AL Central - Cleveland Indians (with 86 wins - putrid)

AL East - The Yankees

AL Wild Cards - Boston Red Sux and Tampa Rays

The east division is ridiculously great.

The Astros are very good.

The rest of the AL sucks!

Yankees over Astros in ALCS

Number 28 comes in the form of:

Yankees over Nationals.

We’ve suffered long enough...

...right Bills fans???

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,”
