Greetings and Salutations to all.
Where do I start? K-Rock is back or A-Rod duping the left side of the Toronto infield?
Ahh, start with A-Rod. I got to say, that watching the ball drop in between the third baseman and the shortstop to allow some Yankee runs was very nice. Now did he say “Hah”? or was it “Mine”? We’ll never know. I will admit that I will have to try it out during Sunday Softball. Now here is the debate that I was thinking. Is it legit to call for the ball (i.e. interference?). I always took interference to be bodily contact with the player and/or ball. I’ll let the baseball aficionados here start the debate or invoked MLB’s rules. Let the debate begin – you know who you are.
Ahh, K-Rock is back and Free FM is dead for now. I understood the concept of the “Free FM” with Stern going to Sirius, but to have talk all day is just crap. Can we just get music and leave talk radio on the AM dial. Jeez, didn’t Free FM learn their lesson with WNEW-FM 102.7? No one wants it, no one needs it, and we have enough of it on AM. Go there and listen to it you stupid schmucks. I wish I could some how kill Opie & Anthony as well as the Radio Chick. These have to be the worst personalities on the radio. We should either be DJ less like K-Rock is now or have DJ’s that do there job without too much chit chat. I hate DJ’s that talk and talk and talk (somebody shoot me). Give me Jim Kerr or Pat St. John. How about Rob Adams, he’s got a good voice and can read the sports pages as well, plus he’s looking for a job as well. (Rob – if you get a job out of this you owe me some beer!!!)
Moving on…..Ducks are 2-0 and hopefully can go to Ottawa and sweep the Senators. Go Ducks!
Yankees are off tonight which means 1 thing, they can’t lose. Hopefully with this A-Rod mouth thing, the Yankees can build on it and reel off some wins. Sunday night is the marquee match-up on ESPN. Check it out!!

Last and certainly not the least I want to devote this week’s entry to John Gibbons. Mr. Gibbons was my Earth & Science Teacher in Senior Year of HS. He kicked ass. I goofed off and on the flip side learned so much that he would get my vote for Teacher of the Year. As a member of the Three Amigos with Joe Smith and Jim Kinnear, he redefined drinking and having a good time. I recalled the Senior Trip where he and the 2 other two gave a stern lecture on bringing/drinking alcohol on the trip. Suspension/Termination, yadda, yadda, yadda…. Anyway, we managed to get tanked drinking Peach Schnapps (Don’t Ask). Mr. Gibbons knock on our door at 11pm to make sure we were in for curfew. He asked us if we we’re drunk. We said “No Sir.” His reply, “I am, goodnight men!” We laughed our asses off. We’ll miss ya Mr. Gibbons. This Bud for you!

That’s The Way....
Greetings and Salutations to all.
Well, well, well – school is done for now. Final Exam score – 92. Shame not a 100, but he I’ll take it figuring it covered over 180 hours of learning over 2 subjects. My averages were the same – 96 in both Shop and Theory.
Low and behold I receive a phone call from the director of the school on Monday night. I’m thinking he is congratulating me on having a good year. Nope, I got accepted into the exclusive 5-year program which over 875 people applied to and only 30 were accepted. I was floored to say the least. Perks: more money (a 50% raise) and a new set of tools. I sit here and write to you and I am still flabbergasted.
Well at least one team is going to win the Stanley Cup this year that has never won it before. Hmmmm, who should I root for? Ottawa or the Ducks. Tough call here. I really miss the Disney ducks and the purple/green with the duck mask jerseys. I really don’t care for Ottawa – maybe it’s a Canadian thing – so I’m rooting for the Ducks. Go Ducks!
Yankees, Yankees, Yankees.... Lost 2 out of 3 the cross-town Muts. Who by the way helped another Yankee pitcher onto the DL. Thanks Muts! Sunday night the National game on ESPN was the gem with the debut of Tyler Clippard. What was going on there. That ball had some movement. Even David Wright agreed. Hopefully he can spark the Yankees to some more wins. 2/3 from Boston and things are starting to look good. We shall see…….
My good buddy Rob (read his blog: Exit 55) commented on last week’s post about not commenting on the guitar riffs. I apologize if I was harsh. I just thought it was a good thing to discuss as well as to open each other to new and different music. I think the classics are fine but we all know them and can go blue in the face over which is better, should be #1, etc. Hence the idea of having the songs from “off the beaten path”.
BTW – who is the mystery guest for tomorrow’s game? I’ll have Steve, making his 1st appearance this year.
Sorry no new money tip this week.
This week’s clip – and yes the guy walked away…..WOW

Ramble On.....
Greetings and Salutations to all.
Sorry to have been away – with school taking over my life for the past 2.5 weeks, I’ve been hunkered down in the books studying for 2 section tests and 2 final exams. I can and will report that I did score 100 on each of the 2 section tests. Scores for the final exams will have to wait till Monday.
So the Sabres are finally feeling some pressure – nothing from the NY teams, but hey Ottawa comes to town and puts the squeeze on. Down 3-0, they squeak out a victory and are down 3-1. Only 2 teams have come back in NHL history from being down 3-0. That’s right the Islanders and well…who cares about the other team? I hope the Sabres come back and win – they deserve it. More importantly I think the town NEEDS it. Moving onto baseball….
How about those Yankees? Man is there a team that needs to find itself. I love my Yankees but they are a mess. Yeah, the injuries have taken a toll on the pitching but where’s A-Rod lately? Hopefully they’ll turn this ship around and get back to their winning ways. Some bright notes: Wang’s almost no-no, and as of 5/17 – the leader in the AL batting race – Jorge Posada – yes, I said Jorge Posada. Insert Dan Patrick: Simply Enfuego!
This coming weekend we got the annual Mets/Yankees at Shea and Saturday brings Game 5 of the Ottawa/Buffalo series. Let’s go Yanks/Sabres!!
I was little ticked off that no one commented on the guitar riffs from the last post. I was hoping that would be a good back and forth piece to discuss with the readers of this blog. I guess NOT!!!

Last but not least the whole debate about radio and “Free Speech”. We all know that free radio is censored and controlled to some extent by the FCC. Hence Don Imus being fired for his “Nappy Headed Ho” comment. This past week shock jocks “Opie & Anthony” (who I will never ever forgive for destroying WNEW-FM 102.7) were suspended for 30 days for their comments about Condoleezza Rice, Queen Elizabeth and Laura Bush. Wait a minute aren’t they on Satellite radio and free to say what they want. Correct but their employer is looking for congressional approval to merge with its rival.
So I ask thee – what happen to “Free Speech”? What’s next? Television? Magazines? ……Excuse me who are you? Why are you wearing that white shirt, black suit, mirrored sunglasses? I’m doing nothing Sir, just typing my weekly bl………………………………….
