Today is D-Day!

Biggest party of the year today in PA.  Time to show up in strong numbers and let them know why we are called New Yorkers.

In either case my brother better have the welcoming committee present because I am going to drink and drink and drink……….and drink……………and drink………………and drink and drink.  OK enough!  You get the idea.  Even thought I felt like crap all week I think I pulled it together just enough to qualify for cutting loose.  Plenty of food to keep me tame though.  More to report on that later.

How about those Bronx Bombers?  Sloppy!  But it’s almost like I told some coworkers when the Sox last came to the Bronx.  The boys needed to punch them in the mouth to the tune of 12 runs.  They guys went and did it to the tune of 13.  I said the same thing about a punch in the mouth before last night’s game.  I had no idea the Bombers would kick the Sox in the head because that’s exactly what that was.  A revved up kick in the head.  11 runs should not have made the board by the Sox, but it was a lot of sloppy defense last night and hopefully it will be put behind them.

I will be tuning in from my car radio today.  Good luck guys!  Time to get the party started!

Hell of a storm last night

Talk about an understatement.  That storm was a beast.  Went outside to move my car and found a tree branch down on the street and another tree completely unearthed and toppled behind a fence.  My car looked fine.  Not too much punishment from the hail.  But that lightning was seriously impressive.

Time for work!

The boys of summer are back!

They have won 5 games in a row.  During last nights in clubhouse post game interview someone was playing “I’ve got 5 on it” by Luniz which is seriously old.  Very symbolic of the current streak and I know exactly who’s responsible and his name is Nick Swisher who is the absolute pulse of that clubhouse.

The Red Sox now sit 7.5 games back in the division with a serious match up looming on the coming Friday in Fenway after their loss last night which has them at 0.5 games up in the Wild Card race over the team they lost to the Texas Rangers.  However these Red Sox pitchers are getting way out of hand.  For some reason they felt the need to through up and in to Ian Kinsler.  It just missed his head in that at bat.  His next at bat in the game they finally nail him on the head.  You can’t tell me that wasn’t intentional at least trying to hit him.

At least David Wright’s hit to the head wasn’t intentional but it doesn’t make it much better since he took it extremely bad and was out for at least a minute.

Other than that life will go on.  My brother’s big get together is next weekend.  I seriously can’t wait.  Lots of beer to be bought very soon.  The trek to PA will be a good one and hopefully the weather holds out.  The beer list includes Sierra Nevada Torpedo, Dogfish Head 60 minute, Arrogant Bastard, and Green Flash West Coast IPA!  Can’t go wrong there at all.  Cheers to a good summer.

How Sweep it is!!!

These guys….they’ve made me proud for the first time this season.

I can’t argue with these results at all!  And I can’t wait and know they can’t wait to face Boston again in less than two weeks.  This time take it too them at Fenway!!!!

Yankees Finally beat the Sox

And now that ends my unannouced no blogging protest.

That’s right!  I swore off blogging after my last post.  I was busy and the Yankees sucked at the time, but they finally won.  THEY FINALLY BEAT THE DAMN SOX!!!!  (Strong sigh)

Oh yeah!  Now it’s only a matter of time before the mouse pad mobsters jump on the internet to cry and moan about this.  Yes I’m talking about the nutcase Red Sox fans up in Boston.  BRING IT!!!!

The Winner Is….

Green Flash!

No question about it.  Sad to say when you put the two next to one another it blows the Unearthly out of the water.

So how about them Bronx Bombers.  Good to see Phil Hughes regain his form back in the place where he last had it before he went on the DL sending him into the year long rut he had last season.

Wondering where does this leave Wang.

I am certifiably drunk right now!  Here’s to the AFL!!

Beer taste test to begin shortly…

So in the war of the IPAs I can say I’ve gone from Stone India IPA, DogFish Head 60 Minute IPA, Smuttynose IPA and now for the first time I will taste Green Flash IPA which is currently at the top of the “Three Headed Monster” best IPA list, but it sits there untested.  Untested against the long standing top of that list has been Southern Tier Unearthly IPA and for the first time TONIGHT, I will put the two of them in a head to head battle to see who walks away with the crown.  The kids are currently finishing up watching Wall-E and as soon as it’s over, the beers take over in a pound for pound bought.

Details to follow.

On a side note I had an idea of trying to look into opening up a bar downstairs in one of the retail spaces in my new building.  Looks like I was beaten to the punch.  As I stood outside last night knocking in a cig I looked at the buildings department permit on one of the retail spaces and it said work being done for a “drinking establishment”.   I knew right then and there the idea was ran into the ground.  However, I am interested in seeing what type of place this is going to be and if there is any chance at throwing some influence in there….trust me I’m going to throw every last bit of it as humanly possible.

The sight of all of these potential new retail spaces, as much as 4 in my building alone and as much as 7 on this block total, brings on a new fear.  PARKING METERS.  I swear I will fight the thought until my last breath.  This is a residential block for the most part.  Leave it as such!  Now it’s time!  Let the taste testing war begin!

(Unnamed Team) continues to burn in the Bronx

Seems like the Tin man has found his heart.  I couldn’t be any more pleased than I am right now.  I will continue to be brief when talking about the (blank).

As for some recent action.  Just came back from seeing Terminator Salvation.

It gets an A- for sure.  It recaptured that old magic from the original for reasons I can’t disclose to avoid being a spoiler.  It tied up a host of loose ends from the original and some others spread out over 25 years.  Can’t argue with it at all.  Now the question is will the following productions live up to snuff?  I have my doubts.

Congratulations to a good friend who graduated from Columbia U on Wednesday.  Definitely a crowning achievement!

Still can’t believe the Cavs lost game one at home.  There will be hell to pay for the Magic in game 2 I’m sure because Bron has got to be pissed.

My weekend will be spent at home as I mentioned a couple of posts ago.  That’s fine.  But Friday night is mine.  HAPPY HOUR BABY!  G is coming home!

Good night/good morning!

Can’t say their names…

I haven’t since I stopped feeling like talking about them and long since taking on that practice they have turned things around.

Back to back to back jacks means these guys are smoking hot.  Clicking on all cylinders and taking over the MLB lead for homers.  What more can you say about these guys?  And all of this is happening as more and more of the guys get healthy.  And not only that they are loose.  I haven’t seen them this loose and giddy in YEARS, no I mean YYEEEAAARRRRRSSS!!!

LET’S GO (BLANK)!

Long time…

Since the last posting obviously.  Been a little busier than usual lately.  Trying to get a quick posting in before 24 comes on.  Also getting prepared to defend myself at Traffic Court against a speeding ticket a police officer issued me last year.

I think I set myself up with a rock solid defense.  I’ll bring back the details and the results.  Hopefully the news is good.

Also there is a team that’s seemingly playing well these days.  Whenever I try to discuss them they play poorly and whenever I don’t mention then they play well so I will continue with what works and try not to mention then unless it’s time for me to criticize them.

Memorial Day weekend coming up and it looks as if I have nothing to do.  Go figure.  The lady of the house will be working ALL WEEKEND which means I will have the kids ALL WEEKEND and for those of you sitting there saying well there’s always Monday, like I said.  She will be working ALL WEEKEND which includes MONDAY.  Sad yes, but not all is lost.

Anyway I spoke too long.  It’s time for the season finale of 24!
