Sunday Was A Very Good Day!!

Yesterday was a very good day for Billi Pod in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World, starting with the 2012 GAY PRIDE PARADE, which he watched with some AA buddies (you know who you are) from a vantage point down in Chelsea, then a light bite with them and then ending with the final game of the YANKEES/METS Subway Series.

It had been several years since I actually viewed the parade so I am glad I had the opportunity this year to be there with some friends. The parade itself seemed to me to have been a lot more low key than I remembered but I have no problem whatsoever with that.

We opted not to follow the parade down to its ultimate ending point in The Village, where it really does get crazy.

After having a bite at a bistro, whose name I forget, I walked back to the apartment and the weather was really great. Had time to finally make a later-than-usual posting to this blog and then settle in to watch the YANKEES/METS game.

As most of you loyal and faithful readers and followers know, this was the final game of the 6-game 2012 Subway Series and the game was at Citi Field in Queens. It was billed to be a pitcher’s duel between our ace CC Sabathia and their ace R.A. Dickey.

Well, it didn’t quite turn out that way. Neither pitcher had his best stuff although CC was hurt by some really shoddy defense from The Bombers. Dickey got bombed.

I won’t bore you with any more details, except to say that the Yankees won 6-5 and with the win The Bronx Bombers win the 2012 Subway Series 5 games to 1.

Tonight’s entertainment event for Billi Pod will be ... tada ... baseball ... 

7:05==>YANKEES/CLEVELAND @ Yankee Stadium, The House That Greed And Ego Built, with Hiroki Kuroda (6-7) vs. Josh Tomlin (3-4).

Yes, my loyal and faithful readers, baseball is gonna pretty much fill up Billi Pod’s entertainment schedule for most of the upcoming week. His schedule looks like this ...

Wednesday @ 1:05==>YANKEES/CLEVELAND

Friday @ 7:05==>YANKEES/WHITE SOX

Sunday @ 2:05==>YANKEES/WHITE SOX. 

Sunday’s game is also the 66th Old-Timers’ Day, with the ceremonies beginning at 11:15 and the Old-Timers’ game immediately thereafter. Of course I will be there for this event.

As you may recall, one of the few items remaining on Billi Pod’s to-do list is to walk from Yankee Stadium in The Bronx to his apartment in Hell’s Kitchen in midtown Manhattan, a distance he estimates to be approximately 7.5 miles.

This week I have two afternoon games so I am gonna give it a shot. Will first try for Wednesday and if that doesn’t work out then Sunday. A lot, of course, has to do with the weather.

Well, this being a Monday, I have errands and stuff to do ... so ... later ...

Yesterday’s Pedometer mileage==>3.50 miles

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
