NOTE: THIS IS A REPOST OF THE THURSDAY, MAY 12TH, THAT THE SYSTEM DELETED
OK, my loyal and faithful readers, Billi Pod wants to begin this posting on a positive note, so ...
Here is his report card on last night’s MY GIRLFRIEND’S BOYFRIEND==>A+<==A charming performance by Mike Birbiglia that is both heartrending and laugh-out-loud funny.
He had the audience in the sold-out house completely enthralled from the moment he walked on stage until the very moving final bit. It was soooooooo much fun and he was clearly enjoying himself.
Folks, this is a MUST SEE. It has been extended again to June 25th. SEE IT!! I think he is going to tour the show, so if it comes to your area out there in the vast hinterlands ... SEE IT!!
The show is playing at the Barrow Street Theater down in The Village. When it was over Billi Pod decided to walk back to PHC, a distance of 2.5 miles, which he did while listening to the YANKEE/ROYALS game.
Man, what a disappointment to come out on such a high only to have it quashed by yet another dismal performance by the Yankees.
AJ Burnett aka Loser Boi pitched an excellent game, giving up only 1 hit and 1 run in 7 innings. He left the game with a 2-1 lead, only to have the bullpen blow it, sending the game into extra innings.
The Royals won 3-4 in the 11th inning on only 4, yes that is correct, 4 hits. In contrast the Yankees had 12 hits but went 2-for-16 with runners in scoring position and stranded a season-high 15 runners on base.
It was a puke-inducing performance from the team with the highest payroll in the major leagues and it once again highlighted a basic team flaw which, if not immediately corrected, will keep them out of the post-season.
Yes, yes, yes ... I know ... I know ... it still early in the season but, folks, Billi Pod has seen hundreds of Yankee games since June of 1995 and this just ain’t the Yankee team of the past. The killer instinct just ain’t there. There appears to be a total lack of confidence. Why? I don’t know.
To quote from the sports section of The Post --
“The Yankee bats belong on the back of a milk carton right now because they have not been seen for days.”
And, folks, what is it that A-Rod has stuffed in his mouth while at-bat? He is chewing, spitting stuff out, and then striking out. Has anyone had the guts to suggest to him that he is more focused on chewing and spitting than on getting crucial hits? Jus askin ...
And, of course, tonight’s entertainment event is ...
7:05==>YANKEES vs. ROYALS. I ain’t got nothing to add.
To close on a positive note==>feel 100% OK today.
GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
