Yes, Billi Pod Was A Sports Couch Potato==>Live With It!!

Good evening my loyal and faithful readers out there in the vastness known as cyberspace.

Even though this posting is a bit late in the day (dammit ... wipe that smile off your face Topher ... I know where you are) it none-the-less will reflect what has gone on in Billi Pod’s world here in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World, since the last posting on Saturday morning.

The bottom line is that Billi Pod had a great couch potato sports doubleheader yesterday. Yes, couch potato==>just live with it dammit ... live with it!!

The Yankees won their afternoon game in a nail-biter, 6-4 behind a clutch hit from Robinson Cano.

It was an excellent ball game and we maintained our 1/2 game lead over The Boston FuckSox in the AL East race.

After the game was over I had time for a 2-mile walk session and that felt really good because Billi Pod had gotten a bit antsy.

Then, as you know, The Gators won the first game of the Will Muschamp Era with a 41-3 ass-whipping of Florida Atlantic University.

I thought John Brantley looked comfortable in Florida’s revamped offense. Chris Rainey had an excellent game, scoring in three different ways.

Yes, I know that the FAU program is just barely above the High School level but Billi Pod had a very good feeling about the team when the game was over. The Gators have a very tough schedule ahead of them and all I want out of them this year is to be competitive and to maintain our dignity as the Muschamp program is being built.

God, I spent so much time in front of the tube ... why? ... because Billi Pod is a mega-huge college football fan and he will watch games involving teams he has no connection with, just for the game. Not the same with pro-football, at least not until the last weeks of the season when the Super Bowl match-ups are being determined.

This afternoon was yet another game at Yankee Stadium, The House That Greed and Ego Built ...

1:05==>YANKEES/TORONTO, with our ace CC Sabathia on the mound as the Yankees go for the series sweep.

It was in the mid-80s and very very humid with very little breeze. Actually pretty uncomfortable, truth-be-told. Again, none of my regular season seat mates were there.

The Yankees won 9-3. CC pitched a very good game, going 7 1/3 innings, giving up only 2 runs on 6 hits and striking out 10. He won his 19th game. The Bronx Bombers continue to hit the long-ball, with Jeter, A-Rod, and Swisher going yard. It was a very exciting and enjoyable game to watch.

This win and the FuckSox 11-4 loss to Texas increases our lead in the AL East to 1 1/2 games, 2 in the loss column.

Also, it put their record for Billi Pod games finally over .500, 18 wins and 17 losses. About f**king time!!

On the subway ride back to Manhattan I got off at the Columbus Circle station and walked back to PHC, a distance of little over a mile.

It is early evening and I toyed with the idea of going to a movie but I doubt that will happen.

What about tomorrow? Well ...

Tomorrow is ...tada ... more baseball ...

1:05==>YANKEES/ORIOLES, with Freddy Garcia on the mound for The Bombers.

This game is an exchange game so I won’t be in my usual seat. It will be in the same general location, only on the 3rd base side of the stadium, and, it will be in the first row, meaning ... in the sun ... I will take my sunscreen, of course.

In closing==>at the bottom of this posting you will see ALEX-11. This represents the number of days since my grandson, Alex Falletta, left Ft. Hood, TX, to begin his deployment overseas. I will post the number of days in all subsequent blog and FaceBook postings until he safely returns home to his wife, Gina, and their daughter, and to the rest of his family and friends.

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
