You've turned 60 and now need hip replacement surgery Charlie Brown!

Hi there. Where to start. I first want to apologize to all the people who listen to WWSC and to our games on WWSC. We had a serious transmitter malfunction caused by all the rain we got late in the week and were unable broadcast the two football games we had planned for Friday and Saturday. This was the first Saturday in either September or October in a long time that I had the afternoon off from calling a football game. I got a lot accomplished at home with tearing down the garden and taking apart my raised beds, but I missed being at Hudson Falls. I felt like Charlie Brown because the games we would have done ending up being good ones. Lake George driving for the winning touchdown in the last 2 minutes and Granville picks off a pass inside their 5 yard line to get an important win. Then Saturday the Tigers handed a very good Schuylerville team their first loss of the year. Good Grief!
Upset specials. Another waisted 0 for 2 weekend. Stanford at one point was beating Oregon but the Ducks rolled on to win easily. As for the pro, I've admitted on more than one occasion that I'm a loyal Giants fan. I'm also a realistic Giants fan. I didn't expect that Sunday night. I'm glad they won, and with all the talk about the pass rush, the secondary played a heck of a game. The offensive line though is finally starting to show their age and Brandon Jacobs has got to have some sense knocked into him and realize that he is a straight ahead, hit the hole hard and run over someone with his size runner. He's not a cutback, make a move runner.
Tiki Barber got booed at halftime and deservedly so. He could have said those words any other week and not have the towns people go after him with pitch forks and torches. But the week he was being honored with 29 others in the first Giants Ring of Honor was bad timing.
Omission from last weeks pleasantly surprised list of high school football teams. The Whitehall Railroaders. 3-1 with 2 winnable games left on the schedule. Could be a number 2 seed in Class D.
On to the New York Mets. Cleaned house yesterday. Omar and Jerry, don't let the door hit you on the way out. Thanks for trying though. As for Fred and Jeff talking about these last 4 years and the pain and suffering they experience with every loss and how the Mets are a family business. You want to talk about family business, The Maras owning the Giants are a family business. They're proud of their history, even the 18 years of lousy football that I grew up with in the entire decade of the 70's and the first part of the 80's. You two are ashamed of the Mets and its history! From that joke of a ballpark tribute to the Brooklyn Dodgers that you built with the rotunda honoring a great man who never played for the team, the stupid upper deck that hangs over in right field, and other moronic features, to the black caps and hideous looking plain white unis with the stupid stripe that the team primarily wears at home. The one thing I do have compassion for with the Wilpons is the Yankee factor. No matter how the Mets go about things with the new GM, most Met fans see how the Bronx Bombers do business and want them to do it that way. That is win at all costs. And there is nothing wrong with that. I think that the Mets should be more fiscally responsible and cut payroll saying only the Yankees can be the Yankees. Look at the model of the Minnesota Twins or Tampa Bay Rays and use their success as the new template.
I was cleaning out my desk at home and discovered some interesting items in one of the drawers. I found 4 or 5 decks of playing cards and this bag with a bunch of collector pins from various hockey teams and events I've attended. It's amazing some of stuff you that didn't remember having.
My favorite comic strip Peanuts turned 60 last weekend. Charlie Brown and his friends are on the verge of collecting social security. Must be harder to kick that football Chuck, and I bet the little red haired girl has lost her luster by now...Keep hanging out in the pumpkin patch Linus, you dirty old man...Leccese out.
