And Now For Sports


Ok...So I figure if I am going to write about sports...I best reveal my biases so you know where I am coming from:

Baseball: The New York Yankees- Grampa was a Yankee fan, Dad is a Yankee fan, I am a Yankee fan...3 generations of Bombers!!!  (also a Dodger fan... I'm from Southern CA and you always need an NL team as well...but also a Cub fan...due to 2 years in The Windy City).  Baseball is my favorite sport by far, and most nights I can be found in the Right Field Bleachers at The Stadium. Currently Yankees stink and are 20-21, Dodgers 19-19 and Cubs 23-16.

Basketball: Los Angeles Lakers- I have found living in the East it's hard to follow West Cost teams...but The Lakers do see a lot of prime time!  Kobe wins first MVP Ever...wassup with that? Took ya long enough! Lakers currently in second round of playoffs with Utah Jazz and tied 2-2

Football:  Egads finally The New York Giants won the Super Bowl...and did it by defeating the undefeated Patriots...haha 19-1!!!  I even attended the ceremonies down at City Hall in Manhattan after the parade.  It's  nice to enter the season defending champs.

As for the big 3 sports that's it folks...Although my writing will not only be about baseball...'tis the season.   But we have The Olympics fast approaching, Tiger coming back to the tee, Danica Patrick seeing checkered flags, horses breaking down and some sport that involves ice, sticks and a flattened can...sorry not a huge hockey fan...and maybe even a word or two about the world of bowling!!!  'til then

not a hockey fan?! that's a little disturbing since you're in the territory of one of the original 6 franchises. More importantly, what are the yanks going to do about pitching? Moose just got lit up in 2/3 of an inning and farnsworth couldn't get an out in AAA.
