Go Dodgers!


The World Series starts tonight and I can’t think of anything scarier than the Blue Jays winning the World Series. Not until a priest is called in to exorcise the spirit of Jose Bautista from the Blue Jays dugout will I be willing to cheer for Toronto.

So, I’m sending up all of my Halloween prayers to the Los Angeles Dodgers! You’re our only hope, Dodgers! I certainly never though I’d be cheering for you but this October, you’re my team! Get out there and play to win. I want to see home runs, stolen bases, and plenty of leaning into the pitch. Do what you have to do. Show the Mariners how it’s done.

The World Series starts tonight. The earliest it could end would be with Game 4 on October 28th. I wouldn’t mind if the Blue Jays won a few games to extend the World Series to Game 6. The Dodgers winning the World Series on October 31st? That would be a Halloween miracle!

Go Dodgers! Let Rougned Odor be your inspiration!

The Pulps Have The Halloween Spirit! Do You?


By Jack Davis

Halloween is right around the corner!  Are you ready?  I’m disappointed because my neighborhood really hasn’t decorated much for Halloween this year.  It’s supposed to rain for the next three days so my neighbors better hurry up and put up some ghosts and some pumpkins and get in the holiday spirit!

Do you need help getting in the holiday spirit?  Here’s some help from the pulps!

Moments #28: Jake and Max


These two dolls are named Jake and Max.  My mom found them for sell at a garage sale, back when I was very little. Jake had shoes.  Max did not.

My mom paid a little over ten dollars for both of them.  After she left them to me, I discovered they are both worth much more.  I don’t think I could ever sell them, though.  They were mom’s favorite dolls and I’ll always give them a home.

A friend of mine once looked at Jake and said, “Burn it!  Burn it with fire!”  How could anyone find Jake or Max to be creepy?

They’re as innocent as can be.

The Dodgers and the Blue Jays Are Going To The World Series


Last night was terrifying!  I was watching the Mariner/Blue Jays game and the Mariners were ahead.  They seemed like the had the game wrapped up.  I was so confident that the Mariners would be winning the ALCS and keeping Toronto out of the World Series that I stopped watching the game and instead, I joined Lisa, Jeff, Brad, and the rest of the Monday Mania crew in watching The Wrong Boy Next Door.

About 45 minutes into the movie, I glanced at my phone to check on the game.

The Blue Jays were ahead.

No, I wanted to shout, what are you doing, Seattle!?

The Blue Jays went on to win the ALCS and now, they’ll be facing the Dodgers in the World Series.  And while I may not like the Blue Jays, I have to congratulate them.  They came from behind in both the game and the series and they won.  That’s what a good baseball team does.

So. congratulations, Blue Jays.  And, when the series begins on the 24th, let’s go Dodgers!

Seattle, I’m never going to depend on you for anything ever again.

Also, if you guys could wrap up the World Series before Halloween rolls around, I’d appreciate it.  Thanks!
