Time to Recycle Another T Shirt...

I am very sad to see Manny go... I know my mom will be too as she has a t shirt that says: "This Fanny's for Manny." (I had one-that has since been cut into dust rags-that said: "I'm Claimin' Damon.")

The Chances of Working Tonight are... Remote!

No matter how many times I heard the old Foxwoods jingle, I never got tired of it. I really miss it playing on NESN between innings; although, I did find the Lephrechaun and Wizard of Oz versions annoying. NESN's perfect commercial lineup between innings would be: the original Foxwoods "Wonder of it All" song, the Giant Glass jingle sing-a-long, the Jeep Liberty "Rock Me Gently" commercial, and (time permitting) the Red Roof Inn ads.

I've had the "Wonder of it All" stuck in my head for the past couple of days, because my mom, brother, Nick and I are going to see Billy Joel at the casino on Saturday. It was only this morning that I realized that the concert's at Mohegan Sun and not Foxwoods. When we arrive at the casino tomorrow, I had planned to turn to my family and say, "Let's pop the cork, and make it happen!" but sadly, that is no longer the plan. I guess I'll have to resort to my back up line and coerce my mom into playing black jack by telling her, "only the good die young."

Would Jeter Approve?

We were on Long Island this past weekend for my friend Kim's wedding. Saturday evening, after the reception, my friends and I gathered in the hotel bar to unwind from the festivities. As we were catching up over some beers, I noticed a man standing at the bar in a sleeveless undershirt and pajama pants. Even though we weren't staying in a 5 star hotel, we were in a Marriott and you'd think that most people wouldn't hang out in the bar in their pajamas. This man's behavior made more sense though once you saw what his pajama pants were endorsing...

Typical...

Payback's a Bitch

Zingah!

So good, so good!

Manny's double in the 10th gave the Sox the lead and ultimately the win in the exciting opener!

Less than month until Opening Day!!
