Hey guys...I haven't posted in a while, but since it was up near the top, I figured I'd pop in.
Ouch!!! The Yanks are in some kind of funk! The thing is though, and I'm not meaning to gloat here, it's just something my dad and I were musing over...I really think they had this coming. You always hear about them being so great at coming from behind and winning, but seriously, is that such a great quality. A lot of that has to do w/ luck. Luck of what batter happens to be up for that last at bat, luck of who the closer is and if that single individual has good stuff on any given night. They totally were totally primed for another miraculous come from behind win in game 3 against The Royals, but you can only squeak by that way so many times. Sure, it's great to be able to pull off a come from behind win, but didn't they have 40-something last season?!? That's a hell of a lot of games that could easily have been lost. I know I'm rambling, and I'm coming off my first week at work for the summer, so I know for sure I'm not at my most lucid and articulate, but does any of that make sense?!?! Whatever...with that being said, The Yankees are bound to come out of their funk, just like they did earlier this season. They'll get right back to their beyond lucky ways (seriously, did anyone see that catch Jeter made a couple of weeks ago when he ran straight into someone in shallow right/center? They were talking about what an amazing catch it was on YES or ESPN, but really he was just friggin lucky! More power to him/them, but that's my stance on the matter and I'm sticking to it! Sorry Plum, Liotte!

But when did New Hampshire become--Such a backward wasteland of seatbelt hating crazies?...I mean, only 40 people actually live there. The others are just visitors who come for the tax-free liquor and three inches of novelty coastline. John Hodgeman on The Daily Show (1-30-07)
Sorry, Liotte!
I can't wait for Tuesday...5 of the Sox are going to be on Queer Eye. That should be amusing! I guess they're all going to tomorrow's game to throw out the first pitch! Pity I won't be able to see it in NY!
