Hey guys and gals,
I just got home after we lost our run at the Series this year. The Tigers took a bite out of the Big Apple, so I’m at home watching some of both series.
I’m hanging out doing some house cleaning to my garage with my car collection.
Today, I’m going to enjoy a cruise in my ‘40 Ford convertible. Time permits me to wax my ’62 409 4-speed, dual quad, black Impala and my ‘63 red, fuel-injected split window Corvette. Hit me with some questions anytime.
Talk soon,
Mr. October
…But this time it feels a lot better. We scored some runs, 10 of ’em.
We arrived in NY this morning at 3 A.M. I got to bed at four, and got up to do a media blast for Folds of Honor and Budweiser. They gave $2,000,000 to deceased and disabled veterans’ survivors, the children and spouses of those killed or disabled in action. The two organizations have teamed up to give this money to the families to further their secondary education. I am so proud to have been asked to participate in this program. I feel blessed and honored that they asked me to be involved.
Tomorrow, I believe we will have a great game as a team. Nova is ready and so is the team. Yesterday we had a quiet confidence about the team and in the clubhouse before the game. I expect the same atmosphere within the team tomorrow also. We will have a great game.

…And I’ve got the privilege to have a front row seat. JV against CC, Verlander and Sabathia weighing in at 24-5 and 19-8. Can it get any better?
Not for me. It’s Catfish Hunter vs. Tom Seaver like the 1973 A’s-Mets Series.
Can I say, “we gotta win?” I can say it, but we do have tomorrow.
I thought last night’s game was not as bad as it looked because we did have chances to win before it ended. Two men on with Robbie at the plate representing the winning run, I’ll take that. We had a chance to win and that’s all we can ask for.
We need to win this one, and when we do, we go all the way.
By the way beware of the Brewers. They’re good, and at home they have the best record in baseball. A side note: Comerica Park plays bigger than any other park in baseball. It should be a pitcher’s delight. Two of the best in the game pitching tonight and the fan in me is loving it. See you there, or on the radio or the tube.
Ahhhh yes… Oct. 3… It’s a good time of the year, dontcha think?
Mr. October
The Yanks just left the Windy City and the Chicago White Sox ran into a nor’easter called Yankees pitching. I was impressed. CC the first night and Phil Hughes with a great performance night two, an offensive blow out Wednesday night with 18 runs and another 5-hit night by Jeter, and Thursday, a determined gritty performance by Ivan Nova, still under 25 years old. Ivan Nova and Phil Hughes raised their hands together to be mainstays of the ever surprising and impressive Yankees starting 6!!!!
The Yanks couldn’t be playing any better than they are now as the enter Beantown this weekend tied with the Red Sox for first place. Ahhh baseball in August. The start of the stretch run and the Bombers and the Bosox have the baseball world buzzing. I love it, and as Mr. Cromartie of the Jets says, “can’t wait”
Tune in to YES.
Let me hear some comments from our Yankees Universe members about our man Robinson Cano and his dad. How good was the show that Robinson put on the other night? His dad was throwing strikes and it showed.
Reggie
Awesome!
My man Robbie Cano. Nice job.
Big Papi nice try but the Prince is king for distance. I can only say “WOW “to the show Cano put on.
But I gotta say Robbie is my man.
I wanna see red sox vs yanks. Ortiz or Gonzales vs Cano.
Congratulations to Robinson Cano the 2011 MLB Home Run Derby Champion!!
It couldn’t happen to a better Yankee. From Ruth to Gehrig to DiMaggio to Berra to Mantle to Mattingly to Jeter. Derek has been the face of the New York Yankees for the past 17 seasons. It’s hard to imagine a franchise like the New York Yankees, does not have a player in the 3,000 hits club. We as fans and Yankee Universe members are proud of Derek’s newest achievement. Congratulations to Derek Jeter who is the newest member of the 3,000 hits club.

Mr October
Awesome, I hope your watching becasue I sure am.
Mr. October
Alright, we are playing well with everyone contributing. I will say today, be on the lookout for Alex to get HOT. RED HOT! Coming soooooner than later.
Wow, what a performance. When your ace performs like Big Daddy did yesterday, it sure makes everybody look good: from the owner for signing him to the GM for getting him on the team to the manager, the pitching coach and all of us associated with the team.
Leaders are needed to show the way to success and they make our jobs as staff, coaches, managers, fans and others relaxing. Ahhh, what a relief. We can sit back and enjoy as the press pours on the temporary plaudits, but it sure is a pleasure to sit back and watch someone that is so outstanding in their field. Our pitching staff will be better because Big Daddy takes the pressure off and shows all the path of success.
It takes the pressure off of our offense, defense, bullpen, and makes it easier for the next starter. As CC says, he was just trying to do his job and his part. I watched him warm up in the bullpen and really enjoyed the display of tremendous command of his pitches. Or simply put, such great control. As he warmed up in the bullpen, Big Daddy could have hit a 4×6 paperback book with five or every six pitches. Big Daddy, I salute you for a wonderful performance that I could appreciate even after 45 years of big league experience.
To Doc Halladay, Verlander, Johnson, Lincecum, Lee, Beckett and a few others, I tip my cap to excellence. I’m just glad CC, Big Daddy, is a Yankee.
