>I observe that Joe Torre has a game and a half lead and Joe Girardi is in 4th place.
See you Sep 21st for the final game at Yankee Stadium. Will it be Girardi’s? Don’t scoff. Yankee managers don’t get to finish 4th.
>If You Are Hosed By PSL's
>Contact Cat Contiguglia (228) 238-0346, or call into the Daily News news desk at (212) 210 1585 and ask for Marie McGovern.
>All Star Ticket Charade
>Why did the Yankees tell us to try to get tickets at 10am this morning?
Three people at work all got through immediately on Ticketmaster.
We were all told in under one minute that there was not even one ticket available.
Why bother with the charade? Was it just to put a stub-hub ad in my face.
It’s 10:02 and I’ve already been shut out twice and posted to a blog.
>The Exaggerating Howie Rose Was The Man Once
>The Mets Police enjoy busting Howie’s chops for claiming “about 40,000” at Shea when the stadium is clearly half empty.
You young kids probably don’t recall that Howie once was the original kind of Mets Police.
He used to host Mets Extra and really give the Mets a hard time. Howie would ride them so hard that the Mets eventually forced WFAN to keep Howie away from the game adjacency, and made us suffer through someone named Todd Kalas (nepotism, look it up).
I decided to look back at Google News and remember how cool Howie was before he put on the rose colored attendance goggles. Just read these snippets and get a feel for old Howie. Howie, we miss you. Fran Healey must have stolen your spirit. At least you still hate the black uniforms.

>I Can't Wait For The Fox NFL Pregame Show
>Wow. I can’t wait until September. I will be glued to the tv set hanging on every word Michael Strahan says. I can’t believe he’s only getting $2.4 million dollars a year!
I don’t know about you but the Fox NFL pregame show is the highlight of my life. I wait until noon every Sunday to get all my sports information.
I wait for Howie and Jimmie and Curt and Terry and now Michael. I don’t read the papers, I don’t hear the radio, heck I don’t even ponder my fantasy team or who I will bet on until noon on Sunday. Then the boys on FOX give me everything I need. Well of couse anything happening in the AFC, but that’s ok, I’m just an NFC fan. The AFC plays that other kind of football with the designated hitter, who cares about them – its all NFC for me and the guys at FOX. Well except for week 7 when they are more interested in baseball playoffs, but that’s ok, Jerry and the Mets will be there.
I love that informative ticker that tells me who the rushing leaders are. I love the weather update for the Superdome. I love Frank Caliendo’s awesome two impressions and now they’ve added Strahan, for only $2.4 million dollars a year!
Boy oh boy I can’t wait. This should be as exciting as ESPN’s “Football On Monday Night” matchups between the Saints and Falcons. Or is it Raiders-Chiefs. Anyway it’s probably a huge game, it always is.
