Clear Cutting
2008-09-23 19:51:00 I hate paper. Unfortunately, in my line of work there is an awful lot of it. Although we?ve been able to cut down on just a fraction of it by the use of email, much of what we do centers around generating, copying and recording hard copies of documents relating to real estate transactions.

A Week Off
2008-08-11 19:45:00 I’m finally getting around to writing something because I am on vacation. AND because I just installed the WordPress app for iPhone and I needed to check it out. This vacation is nothing exotic but one that I love… Quiet beach time on LBI with good friends and no set plans. It’s only been two days ... More About: Week
I?m a Pro Procrastinator
2008-06-24 16:08:00 I can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve posted anything. I keep meaning to, but I’m constantly amazed how long I can put things off. You know, this blog started out as a place for me to vent and share a little of everything, and has ended up being mostly me talking about the Yankees. ...
Poor Pedro.
2008-04-02 16:23:00 Get well soon! Even though I spent years cursing his name as a member of the Red Sox, even I feel terrible for him having this injury this early into the season. This isn’t how the spring is supposed to start for anyone, not even the Mets! And although usually I enjoy watching Mets ... More About: Poor , Pedro
Opening Day Notes?
2008-03-31 22:45:00 HAPPY (REAL) OPENING DAY! Even though the actual opening day game for Yankees fans will end up being played tomorrow night. Damn rain. I know I haven’t posted in a while, here’s a few things that have been keeping my mind occupied: - In a surprise to EVERYONE (except his immediate family, I’m guessing), Japanese Superstar and Yankees ...

Forget Paulie? Please?
2008-03-14 19:09:00 It’s funny, I was just thinking this exact same thing while watching a Yanks Spring Training game the other day. The story is just for fun but still… poor Morgan Ensberg. I mean, plenty of time has passed and the Yankees surely don’t have a whole lot of numbers left available in comparison to, say, ...
Big Man in a Little?
2008-03-05 16:58:00 In what seems to be some sort of homage to my favorite Chris Farley gag regarding big men being forced into anything too small, David Ortiz recently got a ride around the streets of D.C. courtesy of the D.C. Clown Brigade official police escort. This is already a few days old, but brightened my morning anyway. Ridiculous. Photo ...
Manny being? well, I?m not really sure, actually.
2008-02-21 19:04:00 AHOY MATEYS! Yo Ho Ho! Did he arrive directly from the deck of a cruise ship? Men should not let other men wear linen capris. ARGH. More About: Manny
Shelley Please Be My Valentine
2008-02-14 18:32:00 Yes, there is yet ANOTHER reason to love Shelley Duncan’s sense of humor and it’s not his silly grin in the NASCAR pits last Saturday… nor is it the kick-ass autograph he left in Boston last year. Nope. This time it’s his comments to the New York Times about how the Congressional Hearings yesterday involving ... More About: Valentine
It?s that time once again?
2008-02-14 16:07:00 Valentine’s day, Schmalentine’s day. Today, pitchers and catchers report to the Yankees’ spring training camp, and that’s a much more important holiday. New spring, new grass, new hope. Ben over at River Ave. Blues posted a great one today that beautifully sums up my feelings about how quickly the off-season passed and how ready we are to ...

Gentlemen Start Your Engines!
2008-02-13 17:58:00 Pitchers and Catchers Report Tomorrow! I am beside myself with excitement, I can’t believe it’s that time of year again already. You certainly wouldn’t know it by checking the weather outside my window today! In other news, Phil Hughes (who is recently confirmed as having a new number - #34), Ian Kennedy and Shelley Duncan ...

The Name Remains the Same
2008-02-08 19:18:00 Around this time next year, the New York Yankees will begin playing home games in a new stadium. Now, some people have a problem with this change, as is to be expected, but I choose to see it as a good thing… we need updated facilities and more leg room (our poor knees!) and besides… ...
I Heart Tino!
2008-02-07 16:37:00 I?m super-happy to hear that Tino Martinez, one of my favorite all-time Yankee players, has returned to the organization as a special instructor. On Tuesday, he reportedly worked one-on-one with Shelley Duncan, who he described as ?tall and lanky? with ?soft hands.? Awwww, Tino? don?t gush now! He does seem genuinely happy to be involved ...

Who needs Bermuda?
2008-01-28 19:06:00 In our very own mini-version of the Bermuda Triangle, it seems that the area immediately surrounding the Empire State Building in Manhattan has been the site of ongoing mysterious happenings: Mostly car-related trouble… cars not starting, remote keyless entry being inexplicably disabled… Okay, so no multi-ton freighters have up and disappeared but it’s still a little ...

Hola, respect!
2008-01-22 19:38:00 Hey fellow females, listen up! Are you tired of getting “accidentally” rubbed against on the subway? Being “inadvertently” groped on city buses? Having to listen to excessively detailed “dirty talk” from strangers on the train platform? There is finally a solution… move south! Way south. Yes, Mexico now offers the option of “grope-free” public transportation. It’s truly ... More About: Respect , Hola
Still Alive, Just Hibernating
2008-01-19 02:00:00 Yes, I realize I haven’t posted anything since November. The end of the baseball season and the start of the cold winter just killed any desire in me to continue communicating with the world outside my immediate bubble. I do feel a general thaw coming on however… stay tuned. More About: Alive
Holy Crap, Batman! Alex is back?
2007-11-15 16:43:00 Today was a good morning. I got to wake up to news of something I had believed all along would somehow magically happen. You all thought it was done and over with, but I had complete faith. I didn’t understand how someone who so seemingly sincerely wanted to be a Yankee would let greediness squash ...

Goodbye Joe.
2007-10-19 17:32:00 You gave us 12 great years. You put up with way more crap than anyone should have. I’m so sorry to see you go… but I’m so happy that you told the Yankees to take their offer and shove it. They showed even less respect to you than usual this year and at some point, enough ...

Joe Buck Is On My Last Nerve
2007-10-16 16:05:00 Okay, I haven’t written much lately. I’ve been too busy wallowing in the pity of another post-season ended too soon, and feeling anxious about the fate of our skipper and several of our key players for next season. It’s not the best place for a Yankee fan to be. BUT AT LEAST I’m not forced to ... More About: Buck , Carver , Joe Buck
There IS crying? Part II
2007-10-09 20:00:00 Ah Suzyn. I’ve always liked you. I’ve certainly grown to respect you. I have often said I feel that I (yep, that’s right) should be named your successor on the air with John Sterling, as you have what I would consider to be my ultimate dream job. And because I would kick some serious ... More About: Part , Crying
There IS crying in baseball!
2007-10-09 18:44:00 Oh Hell! I know exactly how you feel, kid. We all do. It’s heartbreaking, especially after clawing our way back from one of the worst season starts in New York history to actually make the post-season (thanks in a large part to Alex Rodriguez). The Yankees have fallen to the Tribe and the 2007 ... More About: Baseball , Crying

The Impending Decline of Civilization
2007-10-04 16:27:00 [Or maybe “The Impending Continuing Decline of Civilization ” (see Comment No. 1).] I’d like to believe it isn’t happening, but sometimes you’re confronted with evidence that you cannot deny. Evidence that we are slowly devolving into a people without real language. Our bad grammar and “txt” abbreviations are beginning to define us. People are comfortable as ...
The Colorado Who?
2007-10-02 16:16:00 I rarely write anything about National League Baseball. In fact, I barely pay attention to that half of the baseball world until at least early September, but all season they’ve had some really exciting division races and it’s been hard for me not to at least keep one eye on their standings. Well it’s ... More About: Colorado , Rado
Clinch-o-rama!
2007-09-27 17:23:00 Okay, okay… so it’s not exactly what we were aiming for… I think the Yankees organization and definitely most Yankees’ fans would have preferred to win the AL East Division from Boston instead of simply clinching the Wild Card, but in the end… what matters is that the Yankees will be headed into their 13th ...

Where?s Your Perspective?
2007-09-27 16:03:00 I have just about had it with people who expend lots of energy making mountains out of molehills. When did it become socially acceptable to completely over-react? This has been bothering me since the whole Shelly Duncan Red Sox Autograph thing. The parents of that little Sox fan were up in arms about a playful ... More About: Perspective
Yankees Rookie Hazing Pictures!!
2007-09-25 16:04:00 I’ve been waiting for this all year. Most Major League teams make their rookies dress up in ridiculous costumes after their last home game, or at some point late in the season, and have them remain in costume for the trip to whatever out of town ballpark they’re headed to next. I love this tradition, ... More About: Pictures , Yankees , Hazing , Rookie
Shelley Duncan Is My Hero
More articles from this author:2007-09-20 21:14:00 And it has NOTHING to do with his on-field performance. It has to do with his team spirit. No, no… I’m not talking about the over-enthusiastic and probably somewhat painful high-fives he dishes out in the dugout after his teammates make great plays. He’s my hero because of this: Yes he did. When asked by this young ... More About: Shelley , Hero , Duncan 1, 2 |
