A great fall afternoon to watch CC holding Rangers to only 2 runs with 11 hits and stranding 7 runners on the bases over 6 innings. 10 strike outs, no walks by the Yankees staff and the Sandman come in to close it out in the top of 9th. Now for game 6. By GaryS [...]
One of my earliest concerts. Madison Square Garden, rocking on a Friday night. Back in the days of Marshall Stacks. Ten Years After was touring behind their album, “A Space in Time.” This was one of their best, and this show had MSG shaking. Great stuff from “back in the day.” 1. One Of These [...]
AJ was sailing along thru the first 2 innings; the crowd was into it cheering for every 3rd strike. A little bump in the 3rd inning and with a little help he gets through 2 more. Then the 6th inning happens and with the bottom of the 6th Holland takes all the wind out the [...]
Phillies vs. Giants NLCS GAME 2 10/17/2010 Game 2 had Phillie’s other Roy on the mound – Roy Oswalt – coming off a tough outing in Division series we all expected a strong game from Oswalt. And my wife and I were not disappointed – Not only did he pitch 8 strong innings but [...]
Eight Innings, 2 hits and a walk. Oh, did I mention the 13 strikeouts. I’ve been around and seen some guys blow through oppenents in the past. Saw Gooden, Clemens in their day, saw Halladay throw a no hitter a week ago, but Cliff Lee is bordering on the ridiculous. Does he look like an [...]
When I was asked if I wanted to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra, I thought it was a joke. Once it was explained to me that these were the people responsible for the awesome beer commercial that is played every Christmas, I was onboard. The crazy eclectic mixture of what happened just confused and exhilarated me at [...]
Received a call from my friend Steve on Tuesday evening, with an extra ticket to Game 1 of the NLDS game Phillies vs. Reds 10/06/10; little did I realize at the time that I would be witnessing the start of Doc-tober. Roy ‘Doc’ Halladay throws a no –hitter and missing a perfect game by one [...]
Great win, a great sweep, they do it again to the Twins. Are Yankees this good or Twins this bad. It was nice night, starting with the elder statemen Yogi’s frist pitch, the young Yankee Hughes on the mound, then Mo one of the core four on the mound to end it. What history, the [...]
In 1992, my boss took me to The Spectrum in Philadelphia to see the NCAA Men’s Division I East Regional final. With 2.1 seconds remaining in OT, Grant Hill threw a pass the length of the court to Christian Laettner, who dribbled once, turned, and hit a jumper as time expired to seal Duke’s 104-103 [...]
I don’t know if it was the NFL record or not, but watching Jay Cutler get bounced around like a pinball was pretty much as much fun as you can have as a Giants fan. True, nobody wants to see a guy leave with a concussion (we could practically see the stars spinning around [...]
