Weekend on the Pitch

The weekend always goes by so quickly!  With the Cleveland Football Team not playing so well...   I took in another Futbol Game this weekend.  Actually a lot of them.  My son's Travel Soccer Team wrapped up their season with a tournament was in Lodi.  Their sports complex is amazing.  It was my first time there so most locals said it was an old sod farm.  They put acres and acres of soccer fields in and also have indoor facilities.  It was impressive right off 224.  There were teams from all over Columbus, Pittsburgh, Youngstown and many local surrounding areas.  Over 30 fields filled all day from morning til night.  Families with full tailgate set-ups making a day (weekend) of it...  

Soccer is definitely growing and representing in the area.  It was great to see kids across so many areas and age groups having fun on a beautiful weekend.  Even better win, lose or draw players were all laughing and playing after the game.  Kudos to a great tournament and a great area for the facility.   Click Here to see the Complex.

Boos Day

It's been a week, TGIF! If you have been catching my socials I have been living W-Boo-MX to the fullest!  
You may have guessed that Halloween is my favorite holiday.  I guess it is the kid mentality inside of me, or the childish intellect.

So this was one of my costumes from yester-year...   If you remember Billy The Exterminator... I was Benny The Exterminator.

This is not one of my more expensive costumes, but boy did I enjoy it.   It was my Hobo-Sheik Phase of costumes.

HOBO 2

W-Boo-MX is happening all month so listen up, thru Friday from 3-7pm, to win a 4-Pack of Carnival of Horrors Passes with the Monster Mash-Up... 3 songs you know the titles as caller 9... You could win!  Good Luck!

Throwback Anniversary

Today's Throwback just made sense.

Everyday at 3:20, I play 'The Throwback Song of The Day'...   

If you have a song top of mind, let me know, I might be able to get it on for you. 

Call/Text it into the Cricket Wireless Studioline 330-370-2000 or email me at bThis email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 

Today Brooke said, she loved this one when it first came out and still does to this day!  I'm not gonna say all the Throwbacks are as timeless as this one.  I did play 'Achy Breaky Heart' on Monday.   Today, being Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's 26th Anniversary, it just seemed to check all the boxes.   

 Here was Tim's ode to Faith, also...

Go Guards!

Well that was fun!  The Guardians regular season 92-70.   

Back in April, most if not all believed with the youngest team, low budget way of doing things meant bad news for the Guardians. 

Signing Jose Ramierez was huge...  This team did as Jose did and believed in themselves just as Skipper Terry Francona did! 

-The pitching staff is lights out. 

-The Closer has absolutey filthy stuff. 

-Jose Ramierez is steady as they come, should be considered for MVP.

-While Steven Kwan is my choice for Rookie Of The Year. What a spark plug!

-They are going to be a tough out... they were something like 24-10 over their last games since Sept. 21st... the hottest team since Labor Day!

Now Friday-Sunday they will battle the Tampa Rays to keep this magical season going. 

Friday and Saturday, Games 1 and 2 are at 12:07pm.  The Sunday Game if needed is at 4:07pm.  The best of 3 series should be one for the ages. 

Fans represent at Progressive this weekend and beyond... GO GUARDS!!!

Since Tom Hanks threw out the 1st pitch at the Home Opener with Wilson from Castaway... 

Maybe David Pumpkins should throw out the 1st pitch of the October Game 1 playoffs... (probably not!)
