There are many things in this world I wish I could change.  Some much more important and philanthropic than others.  I wish there was an end to hunger.  I wish there weren't any wars.  I wish that all diseases have been eradicated from our planet, especially as I sit here with a stuffy nose and a sore th...

]]> 0 The Bromance, a Pitching Obsession

My youngest daughter made her first communion this spring.  She looked like an angel, dressed up in a pooffy
white dress which she could wear as her bridal gown, if 8 year olds actually got married.  She had the veil and the gloves, the obligatory cross necklace and white high heeled shoes.  She wore her first high heels.  By the end of the day, she hated them, but I just told her it was part of being a girl.  We are uncomfortable.  G...

July 4th weekend has always signaled the official start of Real summer fun for me.  Schools let out in late June in the NY/NJ area, so July 4th weekend is always the start of fun in the sun.  We celebrate the birth of our nation
with all things Americana:  a family BBQ, a day by the pool, fireworks at the high school football stadium, and NYY
baseball.

]]> 0 The Yankee Team Mom Today is Mother’s Day.  A day we in America honor those women who have raised us, and made us who we are.  For better or for worse, moms have been there as the driving force in our lives.  They have given up many of their comforts and most of their time to raise their families full of love and happiness.  They have caused us to love or hate by their attitudes, their values, and their joy in living.  While the 1950’s mom encouraged her sons to play footb...

]]> 0 What If This Is The End? I can’t imagine what Phil Hughes is thinking today. Feeling today.  Being today.  He is sitting in a hotel room in St. Louis, waiting to see if he has Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.  His life must be a living hell.  Waiting, wondering, hoping and maybe praying.  Tomorrow he sees the specialist.  Tomorrow he starts the journey to learn his fate. Does he have this circulatory problem?  Will he need surgery to remove a rib? Will this only require some physi...

]]> 0 Yankee Baseball: A Chance to Escape Reality with Popcorn Its opening day.  A day of new beginnings.  A day of new horizons. A day of new hope.  For players like Eduardo Nunez, it’s a chance to prove him.  A chance to show he can succeed in “the show” and be a valuable asset to the team.  For others, like Jorge Posada, it might be his last hurrah.  His last tour to take in the glory of MLB life, before he retires to a life of luxury. 

For Derek Jeter, it might be a chance at redemption....

]]> 0 Why Cervelli's broken foot may sink the 2011 NYY Season. Or Maisy Mouse to the Rescue! The news wasn’t so good for Francisco Cervelli today.  It was actually pretty depressing.  Broken bone in his foot.  He has to wear that Ugly, Ugly, Ugly, Ugly, Ugly boot.  Did I mention how Ugly that boot is? It's sandals with socks ugly.  And he is on crutches.  Good thing he worked out all offseason.  Those crutches require massive arm strength.  The one time I needed crutches, I was reduced to slithering across the floor like a slug.  ...
