A Hump Day Doubleheader For Billi Pod


Well, my loyal and faithful readers and followers, let’s get this Hump Day posting started with something for you to think about ... 


I am happy to report that last night’s MOSTLY MOZART FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA concert @ Avery Fisher Hall was every bit as wonderful as I had anticipated, especially Schubert’s Symphony in C major (“Great”). 

My seat was excellent, in the rear orchestra, on the aisle. Nice.

As planned, when the concert was over I walked back to PHC. I didn’t listen to the Yankees game because it was over, having lasted only 2:35 and ...

OMFG!!==>The Yankees beat The Rangers 3-0 on a complete game 2-hit performance from Hiroki Kuroda. He had a no-hitter going into the top of the 7th inning and then he gave up an infield single. The Rangers are the best hitting team in the AL.

In the bottom of the 7th inning Nick Swisher and Mark Teixeira hit back-to-back homers. This is the second game in a row that Swisher has driven in the winning run with a homer. OMFG!!

Today is an entertainment doubleheader for Billi Pod ... first ...

2:00==>DREAM BABIES - “About teenagers living in foster care and attending Royal Academy High School in NYC, and their mentors and teachers who inspire them to strive for GREATNESS!” (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket)

This is playing at a theatre in my immediate hood.

Then for the evening ... tada ... 

7:05==>YANKEES/RANGERS @ Yankee Stadium, The House That Greed And Ego Built, for game 3 of the 4-game series.

On the mound for the Bronx Bombers will be Freddy Garcia (6-5) vs. Scott Feldman (6-7) for the Rangers.

The weather forecast is a 60% chance for rain at gametime. Damn!!

BREAKING BASEBALL NEWS==>Last week disgruntled Boston FuckSox players staged a near mutiny against Manager Bobby Valentine, forcing management into a meeting that quickly turned ugly as several players declared that they no longer wanted to play for Bobby V.

I will keep you loyal and faithful readers and followers advised as more details emerge.

Yesterday’s Pedometer mileage==>5.09  miles

Total mileage since 7/1/12==>192.13

Mileage remaining until 4/23/13==>886.87

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
