NYC HAS GONE GREEN

No one is talking baseball in NYC today as the Jets have taken over this town as they ready themselves  for the AFC Title game against the Colts.
Even though I’m a die hard NY Football Giants fan, I hope the Jets win today as I know too many Jets fans who have never seen thier [...]

IT’S BAY DAY, EH? WHEN IS TUQUE DAY AT CITI FIELD?

For as bad as the NY Football Giants season has been, yesterday took some of the sting out of the painful failure, as team owner John Mara, stepped up big time by calling out his coaches and players for a lack of mental and physical toughness and lack of effort. WOW, how strong are those [...]

GREETINGS FROM BEHIND ENEMY LINES

So my wife talked me into go to Lancaster PA for New Years Eve so as soon as we pull into the resort I know I’m in for a long weekend.
First probelm, half of Staten Island is here. I’ve been stopped in the lobby about 5 times since geting here by people saying “Don’t I [...]

GOOD TIDINGS TO YOU NO, NOT YOU JEFF

I’m running out the door to spread some Christmas cheer but before I do, a moment please:
What does your Dickey do? Mine throws a knuckleball
Hello? Where have you been hearing that the Mets should get David DeJesus and Gil Meche? Hello? Is this thing on?
Fork please! Carlos Delgado is as done as a Christmas goose.
When [...]

I AM A METS FAN AND I AM DAMN PROUD OF IT

Well, thank God that’s over. Because I work in Lower Manhattan, I had no choice but to suffer through that awful parade yesterday. I had thought about taking the day off and not subject myself to the pageantry of douchebags that would be on display but then I thought why should I waste a vacation [...]

STAY STRONG METS FANS, STAY STRONG!

Loads of Highlander bandwagaoniers on the ferry and subway this morning. Lots of neighbors who I see in passing
{Sidebar: one of the biggest differences between living on Staten Island from living in Brooklyn is Brooklynites are much more neighborly. As a kid growing up in Boro Park, I knew everyone who lived on my block. In the summer, the people [...]

A QUICK STOP THEN I GOTTA GO

Quick hits on the World Series so far:

I don’t know what the pundits wanted Joe Giraridi to do other than pitch AJ Burnett on three days rest. Do these experts know the other choice to pitch is Chad Gaudin? The same Chad Gaudin who was cut by the Padres this season and a guy who [...]

“WHO’S YOUR MAC DADDY”, AND IF HIGHLANDER FANS GO TO THE WORLD SERIES DO THEY MAKE A SOUND?

WELCOME TO YANKEE STADIUM ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Great, great post today by James Kannengieser over at Amazin’ Avenue commenting on a post by Jeff Pearlman on Mark McGwire becoming the hitting coach for the St. Louis Cardinals where Pearlman gets all righteous slamming McGwire with the tired old cheater line.
Kannengieser brings up the Amazin’ Tuesday even that Pearlman [...]

PAGING MYSTIQUE AND AURA: PLEASE REPORT TO THE NY HIGHLANDER BULLPEN

So Highlander fans,  you think it’s easy playing the Phuck Phace’s ? Try doing it eighteen times a year like the Mets have to, it’s no joke.
 
Intimidation is a major component in a sporting endeavor. The ability to get into your opponents head will make the difference between winning and losing when the physical aspect [...]

TOO MUCH MONKEY BUSINESS

Chuck Berry and Keith Richards on You Tube

Maybe the collars of the Highlander Nine are loose and comfy but that’s not the case for some of their fans. Most of the Highlander fans that I grew up with or the ones I know who are my age or a little younger, are still very feisty. [...]
