The final week of the Mets season

October 8, 2007

TOAD: Sept. 25th, 2007: A little while ago Daya invited us all out to Shea to catch the Mets and the Nationals the last week of the season. Unfortunately for the Mets, the game didn’t go so well and proved to be a harbinger for the week to come. On a side note, we were [...]

Finally we get to the stadium

August 10, 2007

TOAD: July 31st, 2007: Thanks to Mo organizing an ITP Past and Present group outing to Yankee Stadium, Karen and I were able to enjoy our first game of the year in person. For those who don’t remember, this was one of the games where A-Rod was stuck on 499 home runs so every time [...]

Another Yanks/Sox series…

June 1, 2007

Surprise, surprise, I’m not super excited for this series. Gabe brings up a good point though – the matchups are good and its really time for the Yankees to do SOMETHING.

You hate to say "must win", but…

May 21, 2007

The Yankees have dug themselves quite a hole and need to start showing that they’re not the team we’ve seen over the first 2 months of the season. They managed to win 1 against the Mets over the weekend and honestly, a sweep in this series is really the only thing that would be enough [...]

They’re tight in the standings and the Yankees will be sending 2 rookies to the mound against the Red Sox vaunted 1,2,3 starters.

December 8, 2006

The Yankees bring back an old old favorite (34 yrs old, so not that old) for 1 year + an option. Deatils on the contract to come but that looks good so faro me.. Hope the elbow is solid and you know this means we’re in for months of “does that mean Roger Clemens will [...]

5 games in 4 days!?! Shut your face!

August 16, 2006

That’s right. The Yankees and Red Sox are going to fight through 5 games between Friday and Monday, starting off with a day/night doubleheader on Friday. For the past couple of months I have maintained that we will have a much clearer idea of the way things stand after this weekend’s series. There are some [...]

Second Half baseball predicitons…

July 13, 2006

Now that we’re entering the second half of the season, what do we think will happen. An email containing FOX’s predictions became a thread containing all of our predictions. I will paste them here for posterity (and gloating rights come October). Manlio’s: Those are all good questions. I think: 1. the AL east comes down [...]
