Work To Do

Jon from Highbridge settled into a comfortable seat on the 2 train.

“You know it’s gonna be a good day when you get a spot right on the end,” he said.

“The Yankees are in a comfortable position, too,” someone said.

“Yeah,” Jon agreed, “but I’m trying not to get too excited.”

“It looks like they’ll be in the playoffs,” someone said.

“They’ve put themselves in a good position,” Jon said. “But there’s still work to do.”

“You sound like Joe Torre,” someone said.

“Good,” Jon said. “He’s the man in charge and has been through this before. He knows how the team needs to finish and then get ready for the postseason.”

Jon stood up as the train jerked to a stop.

“Let’s go to work.”
