Happy Fathers' Day. Greetings from upstate New York. Will be headed to Cooperstown soon to - weather permitting - see that Hall of Fame Classic game.A few quick notes before hitting the road:
Love the Jimmy Buffett reference with the name of Florida's stadium. Land Shark Stadium is named after his Margaritaville-brand beer. Did you know that he also has an album called Now Yer Squawkin'
? Imagine if they named the ballpark after that!Depending on which Florida paper you read, either A-Rod turned his back on the city of Miami and selfishly demanded Friday and Saturday off, or the Yankee higher-ups demanded he be benched, saying "you're hurting the team." Color me confused!
Hopefully, we will get to see baseball - and not just rain - this afternoon. And that goes for South Florida, too!
What do you think? Leave us a comment!
Hope you're having fun in Cooperstown! I think A-Rod wasn't playing because Cashman finally came to his senses that using him in every game since his surgery was insane.
ReplyDelete* Here's the lowdown on ARod's night out:
ReplyDeleteIt's not surprising that A-Rod is feeling a bit sluggish -- the wilting all-star was caught partying in South Beach with [Kate] Hudson, his main squeeze, in the wee hours yesterday morning.
The third baseman was seen leaving an exclusive party with the actress at around 2:30 a.m.
Hi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI am really worried about the Yankees. I think that the three losses in Boston, and the "0-8" that is trumpeted all over the baseball world, has gotten to them. After the Red Sox series they played a game vs. the Mets they should have lost, then got shut out by Juan Nieves (in what I still think is their most depressing loss of the year) then won 15-0, then lost 2 out of three to the Nats and Marlins. They are falling into their pattern of last year: win 11-1 then lose the next two games 4-3 and 7-5, then win 12-0 but lose the next two 2-1 and 5-3. Its really depressing. I am not optimistic about the rest of the season if they don't turn this around soon.
Have a great time in Cooperstown! That is a lovely country up there.
