So it Seems…. Friday!

Good morning everyone and TGIF! Thank goodness it’s Friday. After the storm preparation from Hurricane Irma, the actual storm and the aftermath of the storm I have come to one conclusion. The worrying and the stress are more exhausting than the actual storm preparations and cleanup. I’m just glad to still be here talking to you all this morning so I guess I can’t complain too much, especially with the weekend upon us once again. We made it! I hope everyone has a great Friday and an even better weekend filled with lots of fun, family, friends and Yankees victories. Maybe even a wedding or two.

I love you Kari Ann Burch. Always have, always will. HEY YOU.

So it Seems…. Catching Up After Irma

Good morning everyone and welcome back. I hope everyone is doing well this morning. I apologize for the delay in posts here on the site but Hurricane Irma kept me away longer than I expected it to. The damage here in North Georgia was minimal but with the rain and amount of wind we had the power was out for nearly 75% of the state, if not more. Schools were closed. It was just an all-around bad situation but honestly it was a situation that I cannot complain about. Everyone I know, everyone I love and everything I own is okay. Nothing was damaged, no one was hurt. I know not everyone was that fortunate and you have my thoughts, prayers and well wishes.

Now it’s time to get caught back up so let’s get to it. Good morning and I love you all. Except for you, I loves you very, very much. HEY YOU. 

Game Preview: New York Yankees “@” Tampa Bay Rays 9/12

The New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Rays continue to dodge Hurricane Irma and continue their series home away from home inside Citi Field, home of the New York Mets. In this second game of this three-game set the Yankees will send Sonny Gray to the mound looking to take the Yankees one step closer to the postseason while the Rays with their backs against the playoff wall send Blake Snell to the mound looking to prolong the season just a little longer. This is September baseball ladies and gentleman and it’s only going to get better from here.

Gray pitched well in his last time out against the Baltimore Orioles holding the Fighting Showalters scoreless for the first time as a Yankee. This game also marked just the second time in his Yankees tenure that Gray held a team to two runs or less in a start.

Snell on the other hand didn’t pitch as well as he had presumably hoped to against the Minnesota Twins in a no-decision. Snell lasted just four innings in the start snapping a career-long streak of five straight starts of 6 innings pitched or longer. No need to start that streak over again tonight, we won’t mind a bit.

The game will be played at 7:10 pm ET inside Citi Field and can be seen on YES Network, MLB Network and MLB TV. You can also follow along in your cars and on the radio by tuning into the WFAN broadcast with John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman. Also, just as a reminder, the Tampa Bay Rays are considered the home team here this week in Queens despite the games being played in New York. It’s uncommon but not unheard of in the history of Major League Baseball, it just sucks because of the circumstances. Either way you should try to enjoy the game because the Yankees need a win, so get a win. Go Yankees!

So it Seems…. Please Stay Safe from Irma

Good morning everyone and welcome to the weekend. Another Saturday, another game, another series and another step towards the postseason. How lucky are we to be alive right now, regardless of everything we have going on in the world or in our own lives. Life is a true blessing and it’s just that much sweeter when you’re a Yankees fan. Yeah, I’m bias and yeah, I’m sarcastic, but I am also passionate and there’s always a little bit of truth in all humor. Anyway, I said all that to say this. Enjoy your day. You’re alive, you’re a Yankees fan and our team takes one step closer to returning to the postseason this afternoon in Arlington.

Also I want everyone reading this to stay safe from Hurricane Irma. Life is precious and stubbornness, courage or whatever you want to call it is not worth your life. Be safe and make sure your friends, family and loved ones are safe. You’re all in my thoughts and prayers. Stay well.

Especially you. HEY YOU. I loves you.
