A Break From The Game

Whew!  No baseball for a while.  I think we all needed a break.  That last series was very emotional.  I think the whole nation has rallied around the Rays.  But, honestly, enough baseball for a while.
So let’s talk CREDIT SCORES, why don’t we?  Have you checked out this site?  http://www.TameMyCredit.com
How could I not tout them, [...]

NOT The Indians; NOT the Yankees

No.  It took the no longer lowly TAMPA BAY RAYS to slay the Evil Red Sox.
There is a Baseball God afterall!
This is what dreams are made of.
YAY RAYS!!

Some of YOU Let US Down

Obviously you all didn’t get on the bandwagon.  We’re talking Boston Red Sox.  How can you NOT be backing the Tampa Rays??
Did you not get out your lucky charms (not the cereal)?
Did you not get our your Kevin Youkailis voodoo dolls?  Get our your Big Papi doll too (we have to pull out all the [...]

Go Rays!

Get your rally caps on, your voodoo dolls, your good luck charms, your rabbits foot (or, perhaps feet), eat your favorite dinner, and have on hand your favorite libation, wear the same outfit, including underwear and socks, that you wore on Wednesday night.  Instant karma.  The game time is late (as usual in these stupid [...]

Effin’ Boston Red Sox

Lemme tell you this, if the Red Sox come all the way back and beat the Tampa Bay Rays in this series… The Yankee/Red Sox rivalry has just ratcheted up another level.
When I read the news today, oh boy, that the Red Sox came back from a 7-0 deficit to the Rays, it just stoked [...]

Oops! They’re Doing it Again!

OMG, I’m actually watching the Mets now for the second day in a row.  Classic… first four pitches of the game and they were down two nothing.
Five innings complete and the score is still 2-0.
Met fans take solace.  When I posted yesterday mid-game, they immediately came back and won the game.  Can they do it [...]

What’s Worse Than Being a Yankees Fan Today?

Being a Met fan.  Unless you like watching train wrecks.  In slow motion.  Last night was a disaster.  This evening started off in the same vein.  Pedro has settled down nicely and the Mutts, errr, Mets actually got a few key hits.
BUTTTTTT…
The score is tied at three.  It’s the top of the 7th inning.  How [...]

Just When it Looked Like They Might Have Launched a Comeback…

They fall flat on their face.  Now I have to preface this post with the admission that I did not watch, nor listen to, the game.
But, here’s the deal.  The Blue Jays best two pitchers were pitching the first and third game of the series.  Today, the middle game I never heard of their starting [...]

Still Tired; Still Groggy; But, Still Blogging On…

I’m still in the wrong time zone.  But, I can’t go on using that as an excuse for not blogging today.  Where’s there a will; there is a blog.  That’s what I always say.
So, what shall we talk about tonight?  We could talk about food.  We could talk about shelter.  We could even talk about [...]

The Unaffordable Game of Baseball (and Other Sports)

It’s becoming virtually impossible to attend a game of any kind at the Major League level.
Two seats, $88.00
Hot Dog, Nachos, Cracker Jacks, Two Sodas, $25.50
Squishy, $4.75
Cab ride home, $12.00
Memories, priceless… well, not exactly, they did come with a price.  Namely, $130.25.  And that was without taking any kids, and limiting the amount of food we [...]

Nobody Told Me There Would Be Days Like This

The afterglow of surgery has worn off and the only balloon to brighten my spirits is located on the right side of my face.  I wasn’t informed that there might be some swelling for up to three days afterwards.  Not that I would have canceled the surgery, but I would have been better able to [...]

Baseball in July

They say the games don’t matter until September (sometimes in August)… but, in July?  Well, last night was quite the statement I would say.  In the ongoing epic battle between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox (this was the 2,000th game they played against each other in this incredible rivalry), a true [...]
