Yesterday Was Another Awesome Doubleheader

Good morning to all of my loyal and faithful readers out there in the morass known as cyberspace. I hate to report this ... but ... it is a gray and very gloomy morning in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World. It is lightly raining.

But ... I am happy to report that Billi Pod had an awesome doubleheader yesterday ... first ... POTTED POTTER: The Unauthorized Harry Experience, performed by two actors who condense all seven Harry Potter books into 70 madcap minutes==>B+.

The two performers are excellent and their comedic timing is perfect. In the name of fair and unbiased reporting I must state that if you haven’t at least seen the movies, then you will have no clue what is happening on stage or why the audience is roaring with laughter. Be warned.

That said ... Billi Pod totally enjoyed it. Will it break the “Little Shubert Curse” you are no doubt breathlessly asking? I honestly don’t know but my gut feeling is==>No, it won’t, unfortunately. Hope I am wrong.

Then for the evening it was out to Yankee Stadium, The House That Greed and Ego Built, for the final game of the YANKEES/KANSAS CITY series.

The Yankees beat KC 8-3 behind a journeyman performance from Andy  Pettitte, who went 7 innings, giving up 2 runs on 7 hits while striking out 8. The Bummer bats came somewhat alive aided by 2 HRs from A-Rod.

The weather was OK and it was, for a change, an enjoyable game to watch==>about f**king time.

BREAKING NEWS==>Is the Yankee franchise for sale? WTF??? Well ... these are the front page and back page headlines in today’s Daily News ...

“BUY, BUY GEORGE? Yankee Sale Rumors Swirl.” - front page

“THE $3B QUESTION. Rumors swirl that Yanks could soon be for sale.” - back page

The story/rumors come from “highly placed insiders” but they have been uniformly denied by the Steinbrenner family.

Stay tuned.

Today’s entertainment event for Billi Pod is ... 

8:00==>A MODEST SUGGESTION - “Four businessmen meet over a pad of paper and a box of donuts to discuss whether the world is a better place with or without the Jews. Comedy ensues.” (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket)

Whoa!! This is supposed to be a comedy? With that underlying theme? We will just have to see about this. It is playing at a theater on my block.

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
