The Heat Wave Is Over==>Thank God!!

A nice way to begin the week==>the heat wave is over, Thank God!!

This will be a somewhat briefer posting [OK ... OK ... stop the clapping and cheering or Billi Pod will come out there and bitch-slap you ... I know who you are and where you live ...] because this is errands day and I also have a show at a rather strange time this afternoon. More about that later ...

First, Billi Pod’s comments/observations on yesterday afternoon’s YANKEES/OAKLAND game==>strange.

To begin with ... it was hot and muggy and then there was sprinkling rain at the beginning and the end of the game. I didn’t move at the early rain but when it started again later in the game I was able to move back under an overhang.

We won the game 7-5 but, gasp, the heart of our bullpen almost imploded. What do I mean? Well, our 8th inning setup-man, David Robertson, and our Hall-of-Fame-To-Be closer, Mariano Rivera, gave up 3 runs in the 8th and 9th innings. OMFG!!

It was almost an AJ Burnett aka Loser Boi moment. Weird, very weird!! But ... bottom line ... we got the win.

Anyway, tonight the Seattle Mariners come into town for a 3 game series. They are reeling from 15 consecutive losses. Hopefully The Bronx Bombers can add to their misery.

Billi Pod’s scheduled entertainment event today is ...

4:00==>THE SHOW OFF - “A richly comic caricature of the bluff and bragging of American business life, as Aubrey Piper struggles to satisfy his enormous egotism and yet preserve his self-respect.”

This is a staged reading featuring Broadway legend Joyce Van Patten. It is a free ticket and will be followed by a wine and cheese reception. Billi Pod will stay for the cheese.

May catch a movie this evening, or maybe stay in and watch the Yankees game ... we will see ...

OK, now it is errands time, so ...

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
