2 yankees games, and coming of soccer season

Yankee's v. Devil Rays april 27, 2006

Great $5 game to go to and sit in tier 34. Yanks won.

15 days later same stadium
Yankee's
Free main box tickets, about 10 feet foul of the right field pole. Yanks won.

Still a game behind the red sox as they were half a month ago.
HOWEVER, SOME THINGS HAD CHANGED....

Matsui out for the season

This put Bernie in right, with one of two very weak arms. The Yankee's infield made some very impressive plays and Wang pitched a dominant 8 innings of 3-hit ball.

I have been to 3 RED BULL NEW YORK (formerly known as metrostars) gamesand made cash
but the joint was jumping tonight. Ecuador vs. Columbia (double header after the metrostars game)

Here's a local radio report of this game, well no, its an AP report.
This jam was mad fun to be present, then to make over 100 bucks. First soccer game I have been to where they spilled onto the top deck. No other vendors chose to trek up there. I spent more time climbing the spirals.
here is the espn report of the game as well.


Someone told me there are NHL (p)layoffs going on. Can anyone confirm to this blog if that is true?

something new

I never thought I would leave watching a major championship in men's golf with the utmost confidence that Phil Mickelson would ease to victory.
It happened Sunday.

My beloved Boston Celtics will not be making the NBA playoffs this year, ensuring a lottery selection and my complete objective analysis for the upcoming postseason.

The 2 New York teams are likely to score a bazillion runs this season, make the playoffs and lose in the first round on account of no pitching. But, boy will it be fun to go see them this summer.

Final Game

Actually, by the time the game was set to tip had told my father that I had been wrong. "After seeing UCLA the past 2 saturdays (in particular a 3 dunk sequence to begin the 2nd half verses LSU), and recalling that Florida had been racked in the top 10 for much of the season and had even gotten to no. 1 at one point, including

I can be ok with one of these 2 teams winning the championship this season. I do not cheer for either of these teams, but I can accept that they will go down/be remembered/historically present themselves as the best team this season in college basketball
Not to mention that both teams won their conference this season.
And no one else can boast a 5 game win streak now.

So like it or not, I settled in to see what I was also certain to be a competative game.

Noah and Brewster were the best two players on the court and UCLA kept having their shots blocked. I wasn't like it was when the watching Jabbar and Walton played and UCLA dominated title games. This was Noah's night of no-no's. So many blocked shots from Florida's gang of ball swatters, that phantom pump-fakes slowed stretches of UCLA's failed comeback.

It was like testing day in gym class for Florida on offense in the 2nd half tonight. A race to see who could do the most pull-ups on the rim. The vaunted Bruin defense was overpowered down low early and often throughout the game. Florida got to the rim when and how they wanted to, and erased such opportunities on the other end.

I hate that fight song. May it be Florida's first and last NCAA championship.
