Yankees 7, Blue Jays 0
Tuesday, August 23rd, 2005Xcel board member Wendell Moore hooked up 200 Xcel and Abounding Grace members with tickets to last night’s Yankees game. Great game! In his second game back from injury, Jaret Wright pitched 7 shutout innings; A-rod went 3 for 5 with his 100th RBI; and Hideki Matsui drove in 3 runs. Willie, Amber, and Judah [...]
I love the sound of that
Thursday, July 14th, 2005“What relief? A-Rod’s homer off Schilling rallies Yanks past Red Sox.” (but not this): “The Yankees put RHP Chien-Ming Wang on the 15-day disabled list with inflammation in his right shoulder and scratched him from Friday’s scheduled start.” That makes four out of six Yankee starting pitchers now on the DL. Their replacements: a bag [...]
Yankees Lost
Sunday, June 19th, 2005Judah and I went to his first Yankee game tonight courtesy of Uncle Richie and Aunt Ellen. Free tickets placed the four of us where the air thins, literally on top of the stadium in the very top row (tier 3, row x, seats 19-22.

"Xpresser of the Year" is now a UN Consultant
Wednesday, June 8th, 2005Seriously. Generation Xcel’s own Kevin Cedeno missed our Celebration of Xcellence last Friday to attend the North American Regional Consultation for the United Nations Secretary-General’s Study on Violence Againt Children as a youth delegate in Toronto. That means we couldn’t present him with his award for “Xpresser of the Year,” and that he wasn’t there [...]
Extra, Extra: A-Rod in Therapy!
Tuesday, May 31st, 2005“I think it’s a different life that I’ve discovered. … [T]herapy is an incredible thing and you might get to know someone you didn’t even know was in there.” – Alex Rodriguez (NY Yankees 3B, 17 HR, 49 RBI, .330 BA as of 5/31/05) By now this might be “old news,” but I didn’t have [...]

Monday, May 16th, 2005Today’s USA Today profiles Billy Graham in a cover story called, “The gospel of Billy Graham: Inclusion.” Some of the highlights, On S-E-X: “Before he asks God’s help, Graham says, he begins with praise and thanksgiving for God’s gifts: the beauties and bounty of nature, ‘even the pleasures of sex, within the boundaries of marriage,’ [...]
Their Sox are Red with blood
Monday, April 4th, 2005(And it’s not Curt Schilling’s!) On opening day of the 2005 baseball season, the Yanks reminded Boston why they lead the championship race 26-1 since 1918. “Let’s go, Yankees.”
This is Old News, But I Blame Kruse
Monday, January 10th, 2005Had I had a blog in October, I would have written then about the little known man most singularly responsible for reversing the Curse of the Bambino and lifting the Red Sox out of their 86-year misery: Matthew Kruse. With the Sox down 0-3 in the ALCS to the Yankees, Matt preached “The Red Sox [...]
