As I write this, it is the latter part of October and Halloween is approaching.  Usually, there are ghosts and goblins and other scary things about.

This year, it is the Los Angeles Dodgers that are scaring everyone.  Last year, the Braves were up three games to one over the Dodgers and we felt confident that the Braves would be in the World Series.  However, the bizarre happened and the Dodgers won the next three games and they went to the World Series and won.

This year, guess what, the Braves again lead the Dodgers three games to one, and they play the next two games in Atlanta.  Again, the Braves duly need to win one game to reach the World Series.  Will they win this year, or will the big bad Dodgers win again?  We will know this weekend.  So, stay tuned.

As a lifelong Braves fan, I know that the Dodgers have always been scary.  I saw Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale and Don Sutton win many games pitching against the Braves.  Through the years, we always seem to find a way to lose to the Dodgers.  All I can do is hope and pray that for once, it will not be deja vous, and the Braves will win and go to the World Series.  As always, Go Braves!!

PS:  We call Will Smith, the Braves closer, Heart Attack Will Smith, and we need nitroglycerin whenever he comes in.  Saying all that, I believe that he will close the big one this time.  We are proud of Will and all our Braves!  This has been such an exciting and fun season!

PPS:  Well guess what!  The Braves actually beat the Dodgers and won the NLCS!  Go Braves!  Now the Houston Astros are next in the World Series.  The first World Series for the Braves since 1999.  Go Braves!
