World Series Prediction

-

Game 1 - Friday Night

Yankees 6 Dodgers 4

Cole is the staff ace and the best pitcher in this series. He’s also a true competitor and my favorite part of watching him pitch is that he gets really focused when things get tight.

Yankees lead 1-0

Game 2 - Saturday Night

Dodgers 8 Yankees 7

There are going to be a lot of runs in this series. Ohtani and Judge and Soto and Muncy will all hit homers in this game and by the end of the night I will be absolutely exhausted and looking forward to my early morning round of golf.

More than that I will be ready for Sunday night off.

Series tied 1-1

On to New York.

Game 3 - Monday Night 

Yankees 9 Dodgers 5

Clarke Schmidt is a good pitcher. He will give a good start as the Yankees jump out to an early lead on long balls from Torres, Judge and Stanton.

The game will get a little hairy in the middle innings but Nestor will strike out Ohtani in a big spot.

Yankees lead the series 2 games to 1

(I will pick up the prediction as the series moves on - this will give you a little guide for the first 3 games.

I’m hoping that when I pick this up on Tuesday morning that the Yankees are winning the series…

…but if they’re up 3-0 by then I’m not going to apologize for missing that middle game.

My God - I’m going to be a nervous mess by 8:08 tonight.

The March to Twenty-Eight!

As the kids say:

“Let’s F***ing Go!!!”

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,”

Eyes on the Horizon

My sister’s book is out there! Go get it!! It makes me so proud to see the book on Amazon, knowing that it’s very, very great! It’s been a long, long time since we were out in California, brainstorming my stories long before they were published. Carrie Lynn was writing, writing and writing some more through the years and I kept telling her… …”Go for it!” Well, she did!  To amazing results. Of course I was able to read the book as it was being put together, but I ordered a copy from Amazon yesterday and can’t wait to read it again. The shoe is on the other foot now as I have been sitting on a lot of my writing lately. I plan on getting it out there before the end of 2024, but for now: Carrie takes center stage! And it’s so great… …go get a copy!
