Saturday October 14th, 1978 @ Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York, New York The sun is out on a Saturday afternoon in the Bronx, but rain clouds are looming in the distance. Thanks to an outstanding defensive game from third baseman Graig Nettles, the Yankees took game three in convincing fashion to avoid going down three games to none in this series against the Dodgers. If they hope to even things at two games apiece, the Yanks will need a much better effort from their starting pitcher, Ed Figueroa (20 - 9 2.99 ERA 253 IP). The Puerto Rican right-hander has been lit up in his previous postseason starts, but New York manager Bob Lemon has a lot of trust in the guy who has won the third most games in the American League the past three seasons. For Los Angeles, it will be veteran lefty Tommy John (17 - 10 3.30 ERA 213 IP) taking the ball. John was solid, but unspectacular in a blowout game one win. His reconstructed left elbow has been a dependable weapon for manager Tommy Lasorda, though John's approach is pitch-to-contact, which could be an issue given the shaky infield defense the Dodgers have displayed of late. Of greater concern, though, has been the Dodgers' struggles with runners in scoring position. Los Angeles stranded eleven men on base in game three, and they were unable to deliver the big hit despite that constant opportunity. If Los Angeles wants to maintain control of this series, they can't let those opportunities slip away again.

When one of my great friends and mentors, Sweet Lou, asked me to out to Ohio with him this past week, I had no idea how busy of a week I was going to have. But, as my schedule filled in over the months since he asked me, I realized that it was going to be ‘a lot'. I had just gotten back from South Carolina and quickly had to turn around the next morning, train, hang with the kids for an hour before school and then back off to another airport. On the way, we were just about there when we found out our flight was canceled. I told Devon that it looked like with the snow we wouldn't be going. Well, we did wind up going and it was awesome. In today's episode, I start off by telling you about our Odyssey to get out to Ohio and some of my key takeaways from the fellow men and pastors. This one will hit you with a lot and hopefully it causes you pause and reflection. Take what is useful for you at this moment and discard the rest.
John mixes up the format, sharing the wisdom of others, starting with Sweet Lou. He also got an electric blanket and is pretty sure the universe sent him a message via Willie Nelson.
Sweet Lou was never an apt nickname for Lou Piniella, whose fiery temper and aggressive play earned him respect and fear around the game after he joined the Yankees 50 years ago this week, and became an essential cog in their dynasty in the late '70s and early '80s. But Lou's career would stretch far beyond his time in pinstripes and lead him tantalizingly close to the Hall of Fame as one of the most highly regarded managers of the 1990s and 2000s. Mike and Bill look back at Lou's 50 years in pro ball after he fell just one vote short of the Hall of Fame this week. Plus, happy birthday to Bob Shawkey and Joe Collins!
