Thursday, October 12th, 2006A plane crashes into a Manhattan high-rise in the middle of the day, and no one except the two passengers onboard is killed or seriously injuried? No one could have imagined it this time yesterday. But by 2:35, that was the silver lining coming out of an otherwise tragic afternoon in the Upper East Side. [...]
Too early to gloat
Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006+ Game 1: The Yankees win! Theeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeees win! + 5-5: Jeter shows all why he’s this year’s MVP (3-Rs, HR, 2-2B, 2-1B, RBI). + MLB’s best bargain.
Still a fan
Wednesday, September 20th, 2006“This year I found a balance in my life that I haven’t had before. Because my seasons have always been so easy, this year hasn’t been easy…. I feel God has a plan for me, and this is part of the plan. If He wants to say, ‘This is the bottom of the pail,’ then [...]
Dedicated to Haters everywhere
Monday, September 18th, 2006The demise of the Yankees was greatly exaggerated Gigantic win as Eli amazes Tom lets Eli take charge _________________________ In other sports news, I watched the USC/Nebraska game on Saturday night with a bunch of Trojan fans in LA. Otherwise, we had a wonderful evening. Speaking of the USC game, prayers and concern for FB [...]
Expectations
Thursday, May 25th, 2006I feel for A-Rod. There, I said it. Odd considering the income disparity between us, with his $250 million baseball contract and my lavish salary (ahem) as an urban youth worker. Still, I feel for him because of the weight of unrealistic expectations. Granted, the expectations are, to a degree, self inflicted because no one [...]

May the best ex-Yankees win
Friday, October 21st, 2005I’m torn about who to root for in this year’s World Series. Ex-Yankees abound on both-sides of the field, headlined by Andy Pettite and Roger Clemens for the Astros and Jose Contreras and Orlando Hernandez for the White Sox. Plus the teams have rooting interests independent of pinstripe alums, as Houston goes for its first [...]
Yankee alums lead the way
Sunday, October 16th, 2005Congratulations to Jose Contreras of the White Sox for pitching his team into its first World Series birth since 1959, and a chance at their first title since 1917. Similarly, Andy Pettite has an opportunity to get the Houston Astros to their first ever Fall Classic on Monday. Along with Roger Clemens and Orlando “El [...]
Why the Yankees lost
Tuesday, October 11th, 2005- Their vaunted offense forgot how to hit. – Three RBIs from their three 100 RBI men. – Randy Johnson and Mike Mussina performed like bottom-of-the-rotation pitchers when they needed to play like the gazillionaire first and second starters they are. – Roger Clemens, Andy Petite, Orlando “El Duque†Hernandez, and Jose Contreras pitch for [...]
Haters, get over it
Sunday, October 2nd, 2005Haters everywhere mocked for the better part of the entire baseball season that the greatest franchise in the history of professional sports was going to miss the playoffs for the first time in over a decade. A broken pitching staff and ominous Boss would supposedly tarnish the Yankees’ Torre mystique. Then, less than two weeks [...]
