The fans are demanding that SU weigh in on tonight’s game. Note the weather: should be in the 50s with a breeze and colder as the game goes on. Advantage Yankees and disadvantage Astros who are a warm weather team. Watch for the hoodies and the blowing on the hands. SU is predicting a Yankee win tonight as they have been good in the elimination games and this will feel like one. Look for Chase Headley to have a big game (no, that is not a typo). He showed signs of life in game 2. It’s coming. Greg Bird is my other player of the game. And Aaron Judge’s ground outs were actually big – he will channel that into something more. Sanchez is still lost at the plate.
How about those Giants?! All it takes is having someone else call the plays. Hey, you never know and let’s face it, the NFL is pretty mediocre this year. Lots of parity and no one team stands out in the NFC. The Eagles will no doubt come down to earth soon enough. I must say it was fun not having to watch OBJ dancing around out there. They really dominated last night against a good Denver defense on the road. Beat Seattle at home this week and then let’s see what you have.
The Jets got robbed on that TD call in the 4th quarter. That was just wrong. SU does not like the whole NFL rule about catches where you “have to complete the catch.” That was a catch, a bobble and then a catch. 20 years ago, that was a touchdown. Heck, 5 years ago that was a touchdown. SU says unnecessary to give the Patriots any further advantage.
Keep an eye on the Dodgers. That’s 5 in a row and as long-time subscriber A. Grossman likes to say, “they have the karma.” It just may be their year.
Finally, SU will be on site this weekend in Happy Valley to see Michigan take on Penn State on a white out night with fellow SU subscribers B. Levine and J. Silver. This could be ugly but hey, you never know. On paper, not the best match up for Michigan. Go Blue.
