IT IS CONFESSION TIME!!

Yes, my loyal and faithful readers out there in cyberspace ... it is indeed CONFESSION TIME for Billi Pod ...

Yesterday, despite his announced plans to see the soul-inspiring Adam Sandler movie THAT’S MY BOY, Billi Pod opted, at the last minute, to remain in his apartment aka PHC (Penthouse C), on a Friday night in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World to ... gasp ... and double-gasp ... sit transfixed in front of his TV to watch the YANKEES/WASHINGTON game.

His excuse is that he did a bit more walking and wandering than he had planned and was a bit tired when he got back to PHC ... ahhhhhhhhh ... dammit ...

Wait ... that is basically just a bunch of bullshit ... because in the early afternoon Billi Pod made the conscious decision that he was gonna stay in for the game.

Yeah ... in the name of fair and unbiased reporting to you loyal and faithful readers ... he actually had decided to stay in for the game before he left for the afternoon’s walk and wander session ... oh well ... now you know ...

In mitigation ... please remember that as a retiree, there is nothing special about a Friday night ... because every night for a happy retiree is a Friday night ... jus sayin ... 

There ... it is out in the open for you loyal and faithful readers to ponder and if you feel like it ... to render your own independent judgment of Billi Pod’s confession.

Anyway ... moving on ...

It was a very exciting game to watch. The Bombers won 7-2 behind another excellent outing from Phil Hughes, who won his 4th straight game, and the long-ball from Curtis Granderson. Hughes went 6 innings, giving up only 1 run on 6 hits and striking out 9.

Dave Robertson, fresh off the DL, pitched the 9th inning and he was a bit rusty, giving up 2 hits and 1 run. It is great having him back.

The Yankees have now won 7 straight games and 12 out of their last 14.

The second game of the series is this afternoon at 1:05pm, with Andy Pettitte (3-2) on the mound vs. Jordan Zimmermann (3-5).

Yes, even though it is a super-beautiful day in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World, Billi Pod will stay in and watch the game.

And ... speaking of games ... tonight at 9:00pm on ESPN2 will be the GATORS/SOUTH CAROLINA game in the College World Series. Last year The Limpcocks beat the Gators to win the World Series Championship. 

Billi Pod does have an entertainment event for this evening ... it is ... tada ...

8:00==>MOST HAPPY FELLA @ Dicapo Opera Theater - “This classic 1956 musical about a May-September romance features book, music and lyrics by Frank Loesser, best known for Guys and Dolls and How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.” (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket).

This opera company was founded in 1981 and is known for its non-amplified productions of classical opera. They occasionally venture into revivals of Broadway musicals. They did this show earlier in the year and it received basically rave reviews. I am really looking forward to seeing it in this 204-seat venue.

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
