The author gives both New York stadiums a free pass because it’s their last seasons. I’m not…unless they start letting me in free and handing me a beer I’m going to comment on what I pay for. Yeah yeah everything is way overpriced – on a recent trip I offered to buy Cyclones Fan a beer, but I baled when he wanted one of fancy imported beers. I’ll buy you a beer but the cap is $10. I offered to give him a $20 but I’m not paying $11 for a cup of beer.

As for the rest of the local stadium food. It all is lousy. You knew that. Maybe the Italian Sausage is halfway serviceable some time. Let me know if they ever actually cook a pretzel. Read this article by clicking above where it says Times on Stadium Food…

Oh man. I really wanted Big Brown to win the Triple Crown. Once again we see how hard it is to pull this off.

It was kind of nice to have some excitement around horse racing for a change, and I gotta tell I felt genuinely excited when the entered the starting gate.

Sorry BB, and congratulations Da’Tara

>Sorry to hear that Jim McKay passed away. If there’s any silver lining that can come from that it’s that it comes on a day where all eyes will be on ABC Sports for the Belmont, so hopefully they will work in an all-star tribute.

It’s 96 degrees in the shade at Mets Police HQ so a tip of the hat to Jim, go Big Brown, go Spain (adopted team for Euro 2008) and of course Lets Go Mets (except Willie.)

>Sad news this morning as longtime ABC announcer Jim McKay passed away at age 86.

Growing up McKay’s voice meant 2 things to me – Wide World of Sports (who will ever forget “The thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat”), and the Olympics. McKay covered a dozen Olympic games, including the winter games of 2002 when ABC “leant” him to NBC for their coverage (one of the cooler things done on TV in the last decade).
