♦After blowing leads the previous two games, the New York Yankees finally gave Baltimore a taste of their own medicine. A solo home run by Aaron Judge erased Baltimore’s one run lead in the eighth inning, and walks and good baserunning led to a Bombers four-spot up in the ninth to defeat Baltimore, 7-3 and … Read More
To no avail in 1984, a then 13-year old Patrick Moran frantically tried to score a girlfriend named Sherrie for the sole purpose of singing Steve Perry’s “Oh Sherrie” to her. Some 32 years later my buddy Tony hit the Sherrie jackpot, tho he insists on the Frankie Valli “Sherry Baby” reference instead—whatta waste. For … Read More
The Buffalo Sabres wrap up the regular season Sunday in Tampa Bay… Thank God. You can spin it anyway you want but the Sabres went through the motions in Miami Saturday and got exactly what they deserved, a 3-0 shutout loss to the Florida Panthers. If you’re a fan of the never-ending tank the result’s … Read More
It’s getting ugly rather quickly, folks. The New York Yankees are developing a knack for blowing leads. For a second consecutive game in Baltimore the Yanks got up comfortably early, saw the gap close and ultimately blew the lead (and game) in the seventh inning. This time it was a 4-1 margin that went up … Read More
If you’re young enough and heard this song for the first time, you’d instantly think “Regulate” by Warren G (1994) from the first note. Reality is us elders and/or those in tune with music aged 35+ years know we’re about to groove with Michael McDonald for 3 minutes and 39 seconds. McDonald’s known far more … Read More
The Yankees blew a 5-1 lead in Camden Yards Friday night in falling to the Orioles, 6-5 and have now lost three of their first four to open the season. Home runs by Matt Holiday and Gary Sanchez staked the Yanks out to a four run lead going into the bottom of the fifth, but … Read More
The Buffalo Bills hosted free agent veteran quarterback T.J. Yates on Friday. Yates was with the Miami last year. Minus one game with Atlanta in 2014 he spent the majority of his career with the Houston Texans after being a fifth-round draft pick 2011. Yates actually has big-game starting experience; starting two postseason games for … Read More
I hate starting any countdown with a spoiler, but here’s an obvious nugget to share— Hall & Oates aren’t one-and-done here over the next 100 days. About the only thing I hate about “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do)” is having to also spell out “No Can Do” in parenthesis. Released in 1981 … Read More
I’m rather obsessed with 80s music and unapologetic about it. If we’re at the club and you hear Debbie Gibson’s “Only in my Dreams” on the jukebox, look no further when seeking the perpetrator. It was my dollar that paid for 3 minutes and 44 seconds of awesomeness. You’re welcome. I’ll take Sergio Mendes over … Read More
One series hardly makes a season but man, the Yankees starting pitching is already cause for concern, imploding for a second time in three games as the Bombers lost in Tampa Wednesday night, 4-1 and lose two of three to open 2017. Sandwiched between C.C. Sabathia’s shutout gem Tuesday were blunders by Marshio Tanaka and Michael Pineda, who’ve … Read More
