Happy Wednesday. Continued prayers for all of those impacted. It will be a long road back to normal for many.

October 2, 2024: Be thankful, and pray for those less fortunate. Remember that you belong to God, and it is only by grace that you have what you have and do what you do. Always keep Christ in your thoughts and allow him to direct your steps. There is much to be thankful for. Ephesians 5:18-21 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God.

Alright bettors, I need some advice. I already have Phillies +600 to win the WS from back in June.

Looking at the lines now, there is Mets +1500, Royals +1700, Guardians +1000. What do we think?

What's the rule on which conferences get an auto bid to the playoff? Is it number of teams? Quality of teams? Why does the PAC-X get an auto bid for adding a number of low quality teams? Can the Sunbelt also add a bunch of low quality teams to get an auto bid?

The rule is whatever it takes to create matchups and storylines for television.

"Bucky "f'ing" Dent" 😄 :)


Boston led the third-place Yankees by 11½ games at the All-Star break and looked to be searching for the “cruise control” switch to coast to a division title. With one month to go in the season, Boston still led the Yankees by 6½ games. The Yankees went head-to-head with Boston seven times in September. The Bronx Bombers took six of seven and pulled ahead of the Bosox by 2½ games on September 17.

But Boston had a resurgence, posting a 12-2 record to close the season. Heading into the season’s final game, the Yankees held a one-game advantage. But Cleveland defeated New York, 9-2, while Boston topped Toronto, 5-0. The result was a one-game playoff at Fenway Park.

In the bottom of the sixth, Boston increased its lead to 2-0. Burleson led off with a double to right field. Remy laid down a bunt to third base and Burleson took third. He scored when Jim Rice singled to center field.

The Yankees mounted their comeback in the top of the seventh inning. With one away, Chris Chambliss singled to center field. Roy White followed suit with another base hit to center. Yankee manager Bob Lemon sent the left-handed Jim Spencer to pinch-hit for Brian Doyle. Spencer flied out to left field. Bucky Dent came to the plate and sent a Torrez pitch high over the Green Monster to give the visitors a 3-2 lead. The partisan crowd of 32,925 at Fenway fell silent as Dent made the grand tour around the bags. For Dent, the number-nine hitter in the Yankees lineup, it was his fifth home run of the year.

New York owner George Steinbrenner was watching the game from the box seats by the Yankees’ third-base dugout with the club president, Al Rosen. “Al called Bucky’s home run just before he hit it,” the Boss said. “ ‘He’s gonna hit one out,’ and sure enough he did. It couldn’t happen to a finer young man.”

The New York Yankees were the champs of the AL East Division.
