Sunday Will Be A Doubleheader @ Yankee Stadium

Good morning to each and every one of my loyal and faithful readers.

Yes, a doubleheader, but let’s start this Sunday morning posting with ...

Billi Pod’s report card on THE LYONS==>B<==Linda Lavin saves this from being just another trip down the dysfunctional family lane.

I really wanted to like this show a lot more and but toward the end it got way too formularized, almost cliché ridden, in what is now the mantra for most so-called “dark comedies” about dysfunctional families.

This is what Billi Pod means - for example, pick any 5 from this list ...

1. someone has just died or is dying

2. estranged gay son

3. alcoholism

4. hints of child abuse

5. jealousy among siblings

6. at least one family member speaks only in profanity-ridden rage.

7. the so-called “ideal” marriage is really a sham

8. numerous affairs

9. someone unexpected shows-up

10. characters appear to be angry for no discernible reason.

and you will have 9 out of 10 plays involving families. Understand now? I thought you would ... you are welcome.

Oh well ... when the show was over the weather was OK, so Billi Pod walked back from the Union Square area to PHC while listening to the YANKEES/BOSTON FUCKSOX game on his trusty Walkman.

The Yankees kicked FuckSox butt yesterday, winning 9-1 and clinching home field advantage for both the ALDS & the ALCS. Nice!!

Then for the evening==>The Gators kicked butt, too, winning 48-10 over the Kentucky Wildcats. Next up for the Gators will be ‘Bama at The Swamp this coming Saturday @ 8:00pm on CBS.

Billi Pod’s entertainment event for today is ... tada ... surprise surprise ...

YANKEES/FUCKSOX doubleheader @ 1:05pm & 6:30pm @ Yankee Stadium, The House That Greed And Ego Built.

And, of course AJ Burnett aka Loser Boi will be on the mound for game 1.

Rookie Ivan Nova will pitch game 2, hopefully to win his 17th game.

The weather is predicted to be OK. I am rather confident that my season ticket buddies will all be there for game 1 and that will be nice.

Will have about 2 1/2 hours to kill between games. My plans are to just wander and then find a pizza joint for a slice.

Yes, it is going to be a long day/evening, but this is why Billi Pod lives in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In the World.

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
