So here I am in Yankee Stadium and it is very windy and very cold at the top of the 8th inning. The Yankees have a comfortable 4-0 lead as a result of a stellar 2-hit performance by our ace CC Sabathia
Thoughts of leaving early swirl through my head, bolstered by the fact that none of my usual buds are at this game. I mean, what could go wrong, right? I mean, Rafael Soriano is coming in for the 8th and then Mo for the 9th. Case closed, game over ... right?
WRONG!! I decide to stay on and the bullpen implodes, giving up 4 runs in the top of the 8th to tie the game and then Yankee bats go dead. Well, thought I, at least I will be here when we win in extra innings ... right?
WRONG!! The Twins score a run in the top of the 10th and the Yankees go down meekly in the bottom of the inning, losing 4-5, and those of us loyal and faithful fans who braved the elements are stunned, cold, and extremely pissed off.
Billi Pod was not a happy camper when he finally got back to PHC around 11:30pm. Oh well ...
It is bright and cold this morning in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World - 38ยบ at 8:30am.
Billi Pod’s entertainment event for tonight is ...
7:30==>NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA @ Avery Fisher Hall. The program is: “The Thomashefskys: Music and Memories of a Life in Yiddish Theater. Guest conductor and host Michael Tilson Thomas tells the poignant and funny real-life story of Boris and Bessie Thomashefsky, who – besides being superstars of the Yiddish Theater on the Lower East Side of 100 years ago – were his beloved grandparents.” (subscription series).
Certainly sounds interesting and different, doesn’t it.
GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
