The Yankees Sucked!!!

OK my loyal and faithful readers, let’s cut right to the chase==>the Yankees 1-2 loss last night to The Mets @ Yankee Stadium was sooooooooooo frustrating. Yankee bats squandered yet another excellent performance by the pitching staff.

We just can’t get hits with runners in scoring position and this sucks. We were held to 4 hits by a knuckleballer whose record was 1-5, with an ERA of 5.08, coming into the game. Mets pitchers struck out 11 and caused the Yanks to go 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position.

To add to the frustration, it briefly rained in the 3rd inning. Luckily Billi Pod had his rain gear with him this time

The game was not a sellout even though this was a Friday night game and The Subway Series. WTF Yankee Management, WTF?

In the 6th inning, in the lst row of my section, a very nasty fight broke out between a drunk, mega-profane 30s woman (wearing a Yankee jersey) and a very meek looking 50s man seated behind her. Don’t know if he was a Mets fan or not. When security and the police arrived she had to be forcibly carried out and she hit one of the cops several times. It wasn’t nice.

For tonight’s game AJ Burnett aka Loser Boi will be on the mound for The Wankies. Oh, yes, this makes Billi Pod feel a lot better.

On to other things ...

Today’s entertainment event is ...

2:30==>10 x 25 - “A festival of 10-minute plays written by 25 playwrights.” (Off-Broadway - complimentary ticket)

This is a presentation by The Atlantic Theater Company and they usually do pretty interesting stuff.

Tonight==>Billi Pod will head up to the Upper Westside to meet up with some of his AA buds to watch the YANKEES/METS game. It is an all-guy thing. I understand we are equally divided: 5 Yankee fans and 5 Mets fans.

In closing==>my thoughts and prayers go out to my BFF Ginger Flowers, of Atlanta, GA, who was hospitalized yesterday due to some extremely serious and possibly life-threatening health issues.

Ginger and I go way way back, beginning when she was in the 8th grade at Bartow Junior High School. That is a long long time.

GET WELL GINGER!!
