Monday==>Back To Work You Worker Bees

Well, all of my Worker Bee friends out there in the vastness of cyberspace, it is time to get back to work.

The weekend is over and we poor retirees need you to continue feeding our retirement funds. Too bad you will never be able to retire, but ... that’s just how it is ... so live long and prosper in the workforce.

And, don’t be too down ... this is just your role in life in the 21st Century, so ... just live with it.

Anyway, now on to more important things ...

Yesterday was a super long baseball day for Billi Pod. He left PHC at 12:15pm and got back at 12:45am this morning. He admits to being very tired.

As you loyal and faithful readers know, The Yankees split the Boston FuckSox doubleheader, winning 6-2 in the first game behind an excellent outing from, of all people ... gasp ... AJ Burnett aka Loser Boi ... and then losing 7-4 in, double gasp, 14 innings. Loser Boi probably earned a start in the post season ... damn ...

The second game took 5 hours and 11 minutes. Of course Billi Pod stayed until the bitter end.

The first game was over around 4:15, so I had a couple of hours to kill in da Bronx. Billi Pod wandered a bit and then went to the food court in the shopping mall east of The Grand Concourse and had a couple of slices of ... what else ... pizza.

The second game was a makeup game for the rain out on Friday so, although the announced attendance was 49,072, I would estimate the actual attendance was about 1/2 that number. By the top of the 14th that number had dwindled to about 5,000, if that many.

The second game was frustrating because The Bronx Bombers had numerous opportunities to win in the extra innings but, once again, we were unable to get a crucial hit. In all honesty, the FuckSox also had opportunities and missed them.

The only good thing about game 2 was the fact that my season ticket buddy Erik was there and we had a great time bantering and talking during the game. Erik, being a Worker Bee, left when the game went into extra innings.

The split doubleheader ended Billi Pod’s regular season and brought the stats for games for which he was in attendance to a frustrating record of: 23 wins and 18 losses, or a percentage of .561. Why do I use the word “frustrating?” Well ... here it is ... The Yankees home record this year is: 52 wins and 29 losses, for a percentage of .642.

WTF!! The thought just hit me==>is Billi Pod a jinx? Well, the stats kinda look like it don’t they? WTF!! My head hurts ...

Oh well ... on to other stuff ...

Today, being Monday, is a major errands day.

Tonight, for sure, will be MONEY BALL, the just released Brad Pitt/Jonah Hill movie.

OK, folks, Billi Pod has things and stuff to do ... so ...

Oh, I am already getting very nervous about the upcoming GATORS/BAMA game.

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
