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!!

Time to Post Again

Sure ain’t got nothing better to do now since there will be no more baseball to be played in New York.  Say goodbye to Yankee Stadium; Bid sayonara to Shea (please implode that monstrosity ASAP).  Congrats though to Mike Mussina for winning 20 games in a season for the first time in his career.  Now [...]

Goosebumps

Just the mere mention of the name can do it.
Seeing the grass, the facade, feeling the aura…
Listening to their theme song…
Hearing Bob Sheppard announce it…
“Welcome to Yankee Stadium”
Tomorrow night the final game ever to be played at Yankee Stadium will be played before the team moves in to their new stadium for the 2009 season.
I’ve [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Heavens Must Know…

something that they’re not telling the Baseball Gods.  How can this day dawn so beautiful after the disasters of yesterday (Mets lost a day/night double header, and the Yankees were crushed 12-2).  If any day should have been gloomy to reflect the feelings of diehard New York Baseball fans this would have been it.
Who can [...]

May 7th

May 7th.  5/7.  Joe DiMaggio (Number 5) and Mickey Mantle (Number 7).  I don’t know what this could possibly mean… excepting that it might be a lucky day for the Yankees.  Plus Chien-Ming Wang is pitching tonight.  Though his name is misspelled more times than Engelbert Humperdinck, Jr., one thing that never happens (so long [...]
