We Got Our Butts Kicked.

OK my loyal and faithful readers, let’s get right to it==>last night the Boston F**ksox kicked Yankee butt, winning 4-0 behind brilliant pitching from Josh Beckett, who went 8 shutout innings, giving up only 2 hits and striking out 10.

CC gave up only 1 run in 5 2/3 innings but Joba sucked, giving up 2 runs in relief. The Yankee batters were zombie-like at best.

This morning’s headlines were not kind ...

Yankees End With Egg On Their Ace - Daily News

Yanks Blanked In Boston - See Vintage Josh - The Post

Beckett Silences Yankees And, For Now, Voices of Worry - NY Times

Barf and double barf says Billi Pod!!

The Yankees have a day off and then return to The Stadium for a 6 game homestand against Baltimore and Texas.

Moving on to ...

Billi Pod’s report card on LOVE SONG==>B+<==interesting storyline and good acting. I liked it and thought it was very funny but also thought-provoking over what is real and what isn’t.

Two of my theater buddies hated it.

I have to report, in the name of fair and unbiased reporting, that CATCH ME IF YOU CAN opened last night to very mixed reviews, which is not a good sign.

One of the posters on All That Chat

linked to 16 reviews and concluded the aggregate grade score was ... “C or perhaps even a C-.”

On this errands day it is overcast but much warmer - 56º @ 8:30am.

Tonight I am meeting up with John Scott Reed for dinner and catch-up facetime. A lot is going on in his life right now, and from what I know, it is all very positive.

Oh, I do want to report that for the week ending yesterday it was ...

1 Broadway show (The House of Blue Leaves);

2 Off-Broadway shows;

2 New York Philharmonic concerts, including “Company;”

1 movie; and

2 Yankee games (1-1).

Not bad, not bad at all, IMHO, but I only report - you loyal and faithful readers decide.

Depending on how the errands go I might catch a movie this afternoon, probably WIN WIN, about an attorney who moonlights as a high school wrestling coach.

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
