The ALDS Moves To Detroit

Well, my loyal and faithful readers, yesterday afternoon Yankee bats went dead and we lost 5-3 to Detroit in a game that we could-have/should-have won.

We were again plagued with our season-long inability to get clutch hits with men in scoring position. As you know, I have written about this problem time and again, from the very beginning of the season.

And, of course, it rained during a crucial part of the game. At least Billi Pod was in the cozy confines of PHC.

Game 3 of the series will be at 8:37pm tonight in Detroit and the two aces, CC Sabathia and Justin Verlander will face one another again. It should be a nail biting low scoring game.

But, folks, here is the terrifying event on the horizon==>the starter for Game 4, in what will be the most important game of the season, will be ... tada ... gasp ... puke ... AJ Burnett aka Loser Boi.

Depending of the outcome of tonight’s game Loser Boi will be either pitching to: (1) clinch the Division Series for us, or (2) save our butts from elimination and send it back to The Bronx for Game 5 on Thursday.

OMFG!! How can the season come down to this? The least dependable pitcher on the staff is given the responsibility to make or break the season. Not fair Baseball Gods, not fair at all.

Anyway ...

After the game Billi Pod needed to get out of PHC so he caught a movie ...

50/50, a dramatic comedy about a 27yr. old guy dealing with a cancer diagnosis that is potentially life-ending.

It is actually a goodhearted film about a difficult topic. The show maneuvers between jokes and drama with surprising finesse.

Joseph Gordan-Levitt gives an Oscar worthy performance and Seth Rogen is Seth Rogen, in a good way. Folks, see this movie. Don’t be put off by the story line. Trust me ... you will laugh and you will cry ... yes, guys, you will too. SEE IT!!

Tonight I will, of course, stay in and watch the YANKEES/DETROIT game. John Scott Reed will join me and we will have pizza and wings during the game.

Moving on ...

I’m sorry, my loyal and faithful readers, but Billi Pod is finding it difficult to focus on the upcoming GATORS/LSU game on Saturday @ 3:30pm on CBS. Our starting QB is out and we will have to rely on a true-freshman against probably the best team in college football. The potential consequences are horrific, to say the least. But the important thing to remember is that ...

Billi Pod says==>LSU SUCKS!!

OK, on that happy note ... got errands and stuff to do ... so ...

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
