Could Be Worse

Brian Cashman sould pay me to rip his moves ever time Javier Vasquez or Phil Coke pitches. Yesterday, Vasquez pitched well enough to win but still took the loss thanks to a moribund Yankee offense.


In the nightcap, Phil Coke blew up allowing 4 earned runs in 1.1 innings.


A great time for everyone with a sense of sports history. The octogenarian Boston Celtics have the opportunity to eliminate the King and his Court and the Montreal Canadiens have knocked off both the 1 seeded Caps and the defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins. The ghost of Maurice Richard stirs again.


I wonder if we'll continue to see BPs sun-flower petal logo blink across the TV screen now that they've turned the gulf into a toxic dump. They certainly have earned the right to chant "We're Number One!" in corporate engineered environmental disasters.


Yesterday was a rough one in the old Kanockers household. Found a flat on my bike when I went out to take the dog for a run. Lowes was here to install 50 sq. yds. of new carpeting and discovered they had three rolls of unmatched goods only after they removed the existing carpet - so were living off carpet padding for the next few weeks. My cable froze as the Yankees were rallying in Detroit and Time-Warner can't schedule a service call until Friday. I called Joe West to see if he would hold up the game until then. He said no because that would be almost as long as a NY - Boston game - and he had restaurants to visit.


Personal note to Picasner: Rest easy. Most minimum security prisons have wi-fi (and free dental care!), so, in the worst case, you'll still be able to post.
