Feeling That Nudge To Spread My Wings

Alongside continuing my poetic contributions to the South Shore Press, I’m thinking of creation a children’s book in the near future, given the right circumstances. Forming the written portion of that prospective project will most likely be the poem submitted in this week’s issue. As for the book’s illustrative content, I plan on recruiting the talent of one of my very artistic brothers.

In the World of

Daydreams I Can:

Ride on the tail

of a comet,

slide down a

rainbow to

slope on a fluffy

white cloud

beneath a sky

of blue,

dive into the

ocean,

able to swim

down there

for as long

as I want

without

any gear

to supply me

with air

travel to the

future

or back

in time.

O great is the

number of I cans

on that

I can

list of mine,

with the most important

of them all

being where I could

turn, with the wave

of a magic wand

all that is bad

into good!

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
