RIP to the Boss

The boss died this morning. Say what you want, he did whatever he could to build a winner.

Yanks win! Yanks win!

So through only two games, I have a few thoughts on the yankees.

Granderson seems lost in CF.

Posada can’t field.

Cano is going to have a great season at the plate.

Joba doesn’t seem confident (and should he with the way the yanks have flip/flopped him?)

It’s a long season.

Last night in Yankee Stadium

Watching the final game in Yankee Stadium.  I had truly hoped that I would get to Yankee stadium this year to see a game before it closed, but I didn’t get there.  I have seen a lot of baseball games at Yankee Stadium on tv over the last 30 years however.

 

The reason I am a Yankee fan at all was because the Yankees were my grandfathers team.  He idolized the Yankees and I idolized him, so, it was very obvious who I was going to cheer for.  My earliest memory is being 5 years old back in 77 when Reggie hit the three straight hr.  I don’t remember the game, but I was sitting on his lap and knocked right on the floor when he hit the third one.  I remember very clearly my grandmother and mother worried he was going to have a heart attack. 

 

I think of all the games I have seen on tv, and its hard to pick out my favorite memory,    But the following is pretty close

 

 

I may have not of made it to the old Yankee stadium, but I will see the next one.

Weekend is over

Well quarter to 12 Sunday night, just watching the last Yankees game in Yankee stadium, while keeping an eye on the football game because I have some fantasy players playing in it.

 

Was a pretty good weekend, laid back and didn’t do a whole lot.  Friday night stayed in with the girls, and did some reading of a James Patterson book, Honeymoon.  I am 2/3 of the way thru the book after having read The Midnight Club, another Patterson book earlier in the week.  Yesterday I played some ring toss with my buddy Josh, and then we had a couple friends over in the evening.   Today was football all day, and also picked the first of probably 3 hockey pools.

 

I have two weeks left of 11-7:30 at work and then I got two months of 9-5:30.  Dec and Jan its the hell shift 1:30 to 10.  YUCK.   TIme to get my lazy butt back in the gym this week, and carry that on into the next few months of fall winter. 

 

Well going to go enjoy the end of the last yankee game at the old stadium.

#@%@^@^@ Yankees

Lost two in a row to the Redsox, slim season hopes over. I think Hank goes nuts in the off season and goes for Texeria, CC, Manny and whoever else is out there. 300 payroll here we come.

sigh……….

Baseball times a'coming!

Well pitchers and catchers have reported to camp! Love it. I love baseball season. With Football now down ’til the fall, its time for the snow to go away, for golf courses to open and for Baseball to start!

I am wondering how my Yankees are going to do this year. I don’t feel that we did enough to address our pitching problems, but by the same token I am glad that we didn’t give up Kennedy and Hughes for Santana. The hitters should be good, even though we have a hole at first base, I am not too worried about that. Like everyone else’s team they are a year older and not getting any younger. I would like to be rid of damon and giambi, but i think one more year if I am not mistaken. Can’t wait til opening day. What do we have, 6 weeks?
