Still Going Strong Even after Five and a Half Decades

This week’s submission features a touchingly beautiful poetic work dedicated to two good friends of mine about to celebrate their 55th (God Bless them!) wedding anniversary, falling on the 1st of June.

To My Dear Friends with Love

Tenderly your arms

enfold me

close against your heart

they hold me

while we move

so ever slowly

on the dancefloor

us two only

to our favorite song…

halfway through the dance

you start to whisper

such endearing words

into my ear

those whispers turning into

trails of kisses

you leave so ever softly

in my hair…

How Blest we are

that even over fifty

years of married life

our love still stands

by The Good Lord’s Grace

as deep, as strong

as when we first began

our wonderful journey

together!

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.
