Technically, Yanks are in last place. CM Wang is on the hill today versus Koji Uehara (like kung fu vs karate), and with a win, Wang could possibly turn the entire season around.
Mets are already in the thick of the NL East pennant chase. Mike Pelfrey – Mets4ever’s 6th man – gets the call versus Edinson (what’s with the “n”?) Volquez.
The draft went well but with a little hitch. Supe tried logging in but to no avail, or, as I suspect, supe clicked in and saw what a tremendous job LB was doing with his team and decided to sit back and watch the action. Last five rounds went Derek Lowe, Miguel Tejada, Akinori Iwamura, Jake Peavy, and Pat Burrell. LB thanks you for your continued patronage to BBT. Lou, the last-minute alternate, was sidelined with a labral cyst that needed draining.
In any event, the draft played out by rounds like this:

Your head will be buzzing after that show, Sup. Hammerstein is a loud venue and Black Label will have it thumping. Love the smaller venues in NY. Going to see my eternal crush, Neko Case at the Nokia next week. Totally different vibe but she is so f’n cool.
yeah Tex!!!!!
MAc, I want to go that concert. I’m hitting ticketmaster tomorrow. I dig Neko case.
Go tex.
“matsui stands in the way of former teammate” DRINK
Tex putting it in the O’ fans face. Good job. Lib, she is amazing. Her new album is one of the best things I have heard in a while.
I have Fox Confessor. Put that in on a long night drive into the hills.
Well, that’s that. That’s a night for me.
yeah mac Hammerstein a sweet midrange venue. Saw Testament there last October & they shredded big time. Also saw Godsmack there back in ’98 off their first album. Have to say I’ve never heard of Neko Case. She’s a solo artist?
Her voice just blows you away. Makes all those American Idol wusses look like karaoke night at the Holiday Inn.
Night, Lib. Yeah, Sup, like I said completely different vibe than NIN, Black Label etc. But, she is a unique artist. First time I saw her under the stars at SXSW. I was mesmerized and have been hooked ever since.
just checked out some pix of Neko Case…she’s kinda cute in a Tori Amos sort of way w/ the red hair.
She’s got a voice like a mountain stream. That’s my poetry for the evening.
I hear ya mac. I’m primarily a rock/metalhead. Simon & Garfunkel and James Taylor are about as singer/songwriter as I get. Come to think of it outside of Sade I don’t really dig too many female artists, although I must say the singer from Evanesence has got some serious pipes.
She is amazing.
Yeah, I range all over the place. I can listen to metal and then flip right into Ani Difranco. Artists like Neko feed my inner lesbian.
Stata buon men always a pleasure…perhaps the Yanks break their 2009 regular season cherry tomorrow afternoon?
Later, Supe. Mets game just got interesting
