A Miraculous Occurrence

Heavenly help comprises the subject matter of my poem this week.

A Divine Intervention

In the dead

of night

riding on

a road deserted

and long

he had just

a bit more

to go

before arriving

home…

when suddenly

to his horror

he finds himself

heading for

a fall

on his motorcycle—

into a telephone pole!

But right before

his imminent crash

to his utter amazement

he sees

a being of light

that firmly grabs

the back end of

his seat

preventing an accident

that perhaps

could have turned

into one

of a fatal nature

and then—in a second

the being was gone!

With tears of

gratitude

streaming from

his eyes

he gives thanks

to The Lord

for sending

an Angel

to save him

that night!

to The Lord

for sending

an Angel

to save him

that night!

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.
