Well, I was gonna try and conserve some money after paying that big broker’s fee … but U2 in concert was too good to pass up. And boy, were they good. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been to a better concert, not that I go to a lot. I’m going to justify the […] Yankee stadium press box Originally uploaded by derek7272. At the game… UPDATE: Great assignment, I’d never watched a game from the press box before. Story here. I guess they thought the quote I got from the guy who said the Yankees were going to go to Anaheim and “spank the monkey” was too […] 10-09-05_2103.jpg Originally uploaded by derek7272. Yankee stadium press box… I’m heading to Yankee Stadium to cover fan reaction to whatever happens in the game. I could make a joke here, but actually I will check my allegiances at the door – or stadium gate, as the case may be. Maybe I will do a little photoblogging though. So I really can’t pat myself on the back toooo much — there were a ton of other people who also braved the rain yesterday and ran the Long Run #2. Twenty miles around Central Park Saturday morning. But were they all sleepy and hungover from drowning their sorrows in beer the night before following […] UPDATE 10/8/2009: Been awhile since I wrote this, and things have changed a little. Jim McGuire, bartender who started the Red Sox craze at the Rivera and took his fans to Phebe’s, has now opened his own bar in the East Village, Professor Thom’s (219 2nd Ave, by E. 13th Street). This is a good […] So up until today I had almost given up on the idea of running a Boston-qualifying 3:10 marathon Nov. 6. I was bound and determined over the spring — but stuff happened, it was a brutally hot and humid summer, and I just sorta lost my focus a bit. It just seemed like it wasn’t […] Yankee stadium Originally uploaded by derek7272. At the game … Lets go sox! I encourage all my commentators to head to my favorite L.A. Angels fan’s blog and talk some trash after tonight’s magnificient victory… tried to go running today in central park … only made it about 20 minutes (was a little hungover too). Just too hot to do much of anything. I took a nice nap on the Sheep Meadow, though, while I listened to the Yankees game. Then went to Harrison’s for the Sox game. Six in […] To celebrate the Sox’ dramatic victory against Tampa Bay last week, I ordered a Tao xm2go, a portable satellite radio receiver that’ll allow me to listen to every Major League Baseball game. It arrived today: So far seems very cool, although I have no way of comparing it to the other two portable XM […] I’m glad you’re still with us Manny! Talk about dramatic… What a bad loss. Why did we have to have Alex Cora batting in such a big spot (bottom of the ninth, no outs, bases loaded, down by two). I’d have much rather seen Kevin Youkilis in that situation. Bring back Youk! The New York Yankees announced today that they have placed RHP Chien-Ming Wang on the 15-day disabled list with inflammation of the right shoulder (retroactive to July 9th) and purchased the contract of RHP Tim Redding from Triple-A Columbus. To make room on the 40-man roster for Redding, the Yankees designated INF Eric Crozier for […] Not only are the 28-30 Yankees losing this season, they’re losing this town. I used to watch a lot of Yankee games — rooting for whoever they’re playing, natch. But it’s not even fun to watch them lose at the moment. They’re just a listless, lifeless team. And meanwhile, how about those METS? Why couldn’t […] AWESOMETASTIC!!!! Boston Red Sox’ David Ortiz follows through and watches his three-run walk-off homer to beat the Baltimore Orioles, 6-4, in the ninth inning at Fenway Park in Boston Thursday, June 2, 2005. Orioles catcher Sal Fasano watches at left. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola) […] “If the news is going to be talking about Nixon they bettah mean Trot effin’ Nixon … Know what I’m sayin’?” P.S. That Soxaholix cartoon I’m quoting from above actually has a great new word — awesometastic! (Well, new to me, anyway. I plan to use it as often as possible, and sneak […] In the comment section of my post about the horrible Boston (212) Cafe, the administrator of the Red Sox fan site Bornintoit.com admits deleting my negative review of this basement “cafe.” Now, he is free to run his message boards any way he sees fit — but this is a pretty dishonest way to do […] Kevin Brown has just given up six runs … while only recording one out … against the TAMPA BAY DEVIL RAYS…. Good Christ. I mean, WTF? I think Baltimore has shot at the pennant this year … and the Yankees could be a .500 team. Don’t laugh — I really think it’s possible. I wasn’t even angry watching the Sox blow this lead again. I almost expected it. Just hope Celtics do better Thursday… |
