A beautiful night for a Chiefs game

It took a while to get back to the stadium this season. No Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle with my dear wife Karen and I this time around at NBT Bank Stadium for the Syracuse Chiefs. My bowling league team buddy Steve thought it would be a great idea for us to go with our…

Ellie B and Bailey enjoy the Chiefs’ Bark in the Park

Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle made a new friend at Bark in the Park this season. Our cherished rescue mutt’s ears went back when her beloved George Three piled out of the car in the NBT Bank Stadium parking lot with my terrific daughter Elisabeth and … Bailey. Another dog! My dear wife Karen had…

Looking forward to our first Chiefs game

I drove to NBT Bank Stadium to run an errand last week. It was cold, windy and kind and kind of dank. The fact is, this spring has not been full of weather making my chomp at the bit to get out there to a Syracuse Chiefs baseball game. And yet the sight of our…

Savoring the green, green grass of spring … training

It’s bracingly, frighteningly, stubbornly cold still in Syracuse, with snow on the ground. March can be a bear. And so when my TV guide tells me that my New York Mets are being beamed from a spring training game in Florida, I will land there for a moment. The Mets are playing a Saturday contest…

Baseball, please, Hot Stove style

The Syracuse Chiefs Hot Stove Dinner warmed me up for the 2017 baseball season last Friday night. When my dear wife Karen asked me if I’d like her to say yes to two tickets offered to her at her job at Syracuse Media Group, I said yes in a flash. This baseball fan was ready…

A show of power by the Syracuse Chiefs on Star Wars Night

Here’s one more reason to be all-in on Star Wars even though I’m a late-joiner. The Syracuse Chiefs know how to throw a night to celebrate the funk, fun and finery of the (inter)stellar movie franchise. The Saturday night at NBT Bank Stadium my dear wife Karen, who wonderful daughter Elisabeth and tremendous significant George…

Fine fireworks from the Chiefs at Star Wars Night

It took until mid-August for my dear wife Karen and I to take in our fireworks this summer. Terrific daughter Elisabeth and tremendous significant George Three invited us to Star Wars night at the Syracuse Chiefs game Saturday night at NBT Bank Stadium. The spectacle was, well, spectacular, and the Chiefs won in one of…

A suite night with the Chiefs

The department in which my dear wife Karen works at SMG came up on the big wheel at work. It was our night to join her co-workers in the company suite at NBT Bank Stadium following her shift and my hours at the Liverpool Public Library on Tuesday, I was informed sometime last week. And…

Ellie B puts her best paw forward for the Chiefs

The Syracuse Chiefs were thankful that the last Saturday in April went to the dogs. Our Triple-A baseball team has been having one heck of a time with the spring weather so far this season, general manager Jason Smorol pointed out several times with the microphone in his hand during the pregame pooch parade at…
