Wow!! Another AWESOME entertainment doubleheader yesterday for Billi Pod in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World.
The weather yesterday was terrific. I headed out to Yankee Stadium, The House That Greed And Ego Built, early in order to do a bit of a walk and wander session in ‘da Bronx.
The game was nice too. I would estimate that there were about 15,000 in attendance for this makeup game and that felt just a bit weird. The picture was taken 10 minutes before the first pitch.
We got an excellent outing from Andy Pettitte who was making his first start since coming off the DL. He was on a 75 pitch limit and went 5 innings, giving up 0 runs on 4 hits and striking out 4.
Yes==>Andy is back, Thank God!
The Yankees won 4-2 on the bat of Ichiro Suzuki who had 3 hits, scored 2 runs and made a game-saving defensive play.
In the second game @ 7:05 Ichiro was still on fire, getting 4 hits and stealing 4 bases, leading the Yankees to a nail-biting 2-1 win to remain in first place in the AL East.
Rafael Soriano got saves in both games.
Damn - those pesky Orioles just won’t go away. They won yet another extra inning game.
When the makeup game was over I got off the subway at the Columbus Circle station and walked back to the apartment. This, combined with the session in 'da Bronx, gave me 3.45 miles. Nice.
Unfortunately, I was unable to connect with my theater friends for an early dinner.

Excellent acting from Lenny Platt and Spencer Rose, and staging, saves what is a mostly unbelievable story line. The final scene is kinda creepy and I thought it detracted from the overall believability of the plot.
The small theater was sold-out.
It runs through Sunday and is worth seeing.
Tonight’s entertainment event is ...
7:05=>YANKEES/TORONTO @ Yankee Stadium, The House That Greed And Ego Built.
This is the final game of the 3-game series. On the mound for The Bronx Bombers will be Phil Hughes (15-12) vs. Aaron Laffey (3-5) for the Jays.
It is a nice day so I will post this and then do a major walk and wander session, probably down in The Village.
With yesterday’s mileage, 6.54 miles, I am happy to report that I have now accomplished 38% of my 1,079 mile goal/challenge.
Yesterday’s Pedometer mileage==>6.54 miles (or, 14,307 steps)
Total mileage since 7/1/12==>411.66
Mileage remaining until 4/23/13==>667.34
GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
