Stitches: Houston has no Problem

Pack ’em in. The 15th annual JD’s Football Sunday fundraiser will be held at the Z-Two Lounge this Sunday in memory of Joey Doyle, a Cantor Fitzgerald employee who was killed on 9/11. Every year friends of Joey’s gather to celebrate his memory and raise funds for his memorial scholarship fund, benefiting students of St. Joseph by the Sea High School. Green Bay Packer friendly festivities get underway at noon. Football jerseys and cheeseheads the preferred attire. Cowboy fans also welcome.

Doubling down on a pair of home-heavy faves, a Stitches formula for disaster. Corey Kluber’s major league best 2.25 ERA, and 1.62 since June 1, give the Indians a decisive edge. Cagey vet CC Sabathia, who had a strong campaign, faces his old team. 10 units on the Tribe and 10 units on the Nats as Stephen Strasburg gets the Game 1 call against the defending champion Cubs.

Altuve! Jose went deep three times. Justin Verlander outpitched Chris Sale and the Astros won Game 1 handily over the Bosox 8-2. Victory cuts our losses to 487 lombardis.
