Good morning all and yes, the joe is brewin'. Well, it was good to see the Yankees take one from the Orioles yesterday and stop from being swept by them. The final score was 13 - 3 with Bobby Abreu going deep twice and A-Rod sent one out as well. For the complete wrap up, here is the link:

Also, Boston lost so we are only one game behind them in the standing to get 2nd place. Being that it's Thursday, we'll be at Schlesinger's Cigar Bar / Hudson Valley Cigars this evening to enjoy a couple of favorite sticks and some cool refreshments. If your close by, come on and join us. If not, I hope you have a great night as well and enjoy........

G'morn'n Charlie and CL. Hope all have a grand day. The Yanks got their 'mits' on a good one w/Pudge, congrats. Unfortunatley the Mets lost last night and are now 1/2 game out of 1st. The NL East is one tight race.

Good day all and yes, it's almost lunch time. We had a house guest last night and our spare bedroom is our computer / sports room. I finally got a break hear at work so I thought I'd check in and say 'Hi". We had a great time last night at Schlesingers, the weather was perfect and the cigars were smokin'. I hope everyone has a super weekend and gets to enjoy a few of your favorites........

Good morning all and yes, the El Pico espresso is kickin'. It was a long one last night but the Yankees lost in the 10th inning 1 - 0. The Moose is back on the mound for the Bombers today with the 1st pitch at 1555 (3:55pm) live on Fox TV from the Bronx and hopefully we can take one from the Angels and get back on the winning streak. Also, the NASCAR Nationwide Series (formerly the Busch series) is live on ESPN2 from Montreal, Canada. Tomorrow, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (the big boys) are racing at the Pocono Raceway starting at 1300 (1pm) live on ESPN. For the full report ans schedule, here is the link for your convenience:

Good morning all and a happy Sunday wish to everyone. The coffee is on and I'm not sure what's for brunch as of yet. Well, it was good to see that the Yankees gave the spanking yesterday to the Angels beating them 8 - 2. For the full story, here's the link:

Today the Bombers have Darrell Rasner on the mound starting at 1305 (1:05pm) and hopefully they keep the bats going and tie up this series with the Angels. Besides baseball, like I said yesterday, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (the big boys) are racing at the Pocono Raceway starting at 1300 (1pm) live on ESPN. Hopefully Dale Earnhardt Jr. driving the #88 Amp / National Guard Chevrolet does good and keeps his overall standings of 2nd in the points lead. Anyway, I hope everyone has a graet day and get to enjoy a favorite or two or........

good morning Charlie

Good morning all and yes, the joe is brewin'. Well, yesterday was another good day as far as baseball, hangin' out at the pool side and bbqing. The Yankees won 14 - 9 and are keeping up with the Rays and Red Sox as they won as well. All in all, it was a great day as my nephew Brian (Axle) brought over a couple of fresh rolled from a shop he picked in LI. After sittin' by the pool for a few hours, we barbequed up a bunch of wings and made a few half pound chees burgers. Life don't get much better than this! Anyway, I hope everyone has a great week and gets to enjoy a number of your favorites........

[Fatmandu]

Morn'n Charlie and CL. Sounds like a nice relaxing weekend...not to mention yer team WON!

[Doogie]

Good morning Charlie and CL. sounds like you had a great weekend Charlie

Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on as always. Well, last night's Yankees vs. the Rangers game, it was a back and forth match and in the bottom of the 9th the Bombers gave up a game loosing walk off Grand Slam loosing 9 - 5. One good thing was that the Red Sox lost and the Rays as well so there was no change in the top three standings in the AL East. I hope we take one tonight and tighten up the race cause before we know it, the playoffs will be here. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great day and smoke a favorite cigar or two or.......

The Red Sox didn't seem to have the zing they usually do. Bucholz should have been pulled earlier in the game, but they left him in to struggle with his off speed stuff, IMHO. As a transplant, I now find myself rooting for the Royals who have won 3 of the last for (two against the White Sox)!

Great thread...now I'm subscribed.
