Good morning thread and sports update

[Stogieman]

Good morning all, the coffee is on and a big T.G.I.F.!!!! We had a great time last night at Schlesinger's with a packed house. It was one year ago yesterday that we lost our BOTL Tom (hudsonvalley) and we had a nice time remembering all the good times. Two of his sons and a daughter came down for it and it was nice to see a lot of his ole' buddies there as well. It's tough some times when we lose a good friend but as long as you can remember the good times that were had, they are never gone. Anyway, The Yankees were off last night and they'll be in Boston tonight starting at 1910(7:10pm) with Andy Pettitte starting on the mound for the Bombers. Also, the NASCAR drivers are at my favorite track this weekend, Bristol, Tenn:

The Nationwide Series racers will be at it this evening and the Sprint Cup Series will be racin' tomorrow night. I hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys a favorite or two and gets to relax as well. If any of you are in Hurricane Bill's path, hunker down and let us know if all is well.......

Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on. Last night's Yankees / Red Sox game will not go down in history as the best pitching game but the scoring was wild. The Yankees won 20 - 11 with a number of players going deep from both teams. Today, they'll have game 2 of the match up at 1610(4:10pm) with A.J. Burnett starting for the Bombers on the mound. Also last night, David Ragan won the NASCAR Nationwide Series race in Bristol, TN. NASCAR.COM - News, Schedule, Drivers, Tracks, Fantasy & Video from NASCAR Tonight, the Sprint Cup Series will go at it starting around 1830(6:30pm) and I'm sure that tempers will be hot in the high banked short track. I hope everyone has a super Saturday and enjoys it as well........

Good morning all and yes, the Killer Beans Electric Chair™ Espresso coffee is on. Well, the Yankees got beat yesterday so that means that the rubber game of the match up is this evening at 2005(8:05pm). It will be a pitching duel with C.C. Sabathia up against Josh Beckett and hopefully the Bombers bats get hot again like they were Friday evening. Last night, Kyle Busch won the race at Bristol, TN. It was a good race with a lot of beatin' and bangin', your normal short track racin'. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great day and enjoys.......

Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on as always. Well, the Yankees hit 5 homers and with C.C. Sabathia pitching, the Bombers won again in Boston 8 - 4 taking the series 2 out of 3 games this weekend. They are off tonight and will be back in the Bronx tomorrow taking on the Texas Rangers for a 3 games series. I hope everyone has a great week and gets to enjoy a few of your favorites through out it.......

Good morning all, the coffee is on and I'm already on my 2nd cup. Not much going on last night sports wise. Tonight the Yankees will take on the Texas Rangers at 1905(7:05pm) with Joba Chamberlain starting on the mound for the Bombers. Have a great day everyone and enjoy.......

This was one the finest young men I've ever known. He was my son's best friend and has been since elementary school. Pray for his family or please at least hug the one's you love. We never know how long we've got. Those of you at a HS game this coming week, think about us...we are still going to play!

Good morning all, the coffee is on and I'm thinking of grabbing a egg and sausage on a bulky roll on the way to work. Well, the Yankees came up 1 run short last night loosing 10 - 9 to Texas. They'll be back at it again tonight with the Rangers at 1905(7:05pm) with Andy Pettitte starting on the mound. Hopefully the Bronx Bombers bounce back with a "W" tonight. Army has their 1st football game next Saturday the 5th of September at Eastern Mighigan and the following Saturday (Sep 12th) is the 1st Home Game of the season. They will be taking on Duke which should be a good one to watch. Here is the entire season schedule and if your in the area and would like to attend a game or two, just let me know ahead of time:

Good morning all and yes, the joe is brewin'. Well, the Yankees came back with a decisive win last night beating the Rangers 9 - 2.

Today the two teams will meet once again for that rubber game of the match. A.J. Burnett will throw the 1st pitch at 1305(1:05pm) in front of a sold out stadium. We tried getting tickets but the game has been sold out for a month. Anyway, since today is Thusday, we'll be at Schlesinger's Cigar Bar / Hudson Valley Cigars this evening enjoying primo sticks and good times. Stop on by if you're in the area and join in on the good times. Either way, I hope everyone has a great day and gets to enjoy a primo stick if the time allows.......

Good morning all and a deserving T.G.I.F.!!!!! Yesterday's Yankees game was bad as they got beat by the Rangers 7 - 2. One good thing was that the Red Sox also lost so we are still 6.0 games ahead in 1st place. Tonight the White Sox are in town and C.C. Sabathia will be throwing the 1st pitch at 1905(7:05pm). Last night we had a good time at Schlesinger's Cigar Bar and it was good seeing LouieD, Ralph (ilcchef2), and all of the rest of the Thursday night gang. Not sure what's up for this weekend as of yet due too the unknown path of Tropical Storm Danny heading our way. We'll know more later on today as it starts to pass the Outer Banks and determines its direction a little bit more. Have a great weekend all and be careful out there if your on the East Coast.......

Oh yeah, the coffee is on!!!!!!

Good morning all and yes, the joe is brewin'. I know, it's 0500(5am) on a Saturday morning but I have to go into the office and clear 2 transient barracks full of Royal Canadian Air Force Cadets that are heading back to Toronto this morning. Anyway, it was good to see the Yankees win last night with Robbie Cano hitting a 3 run walk-off homer in the bottom of the 10th giving the Bombers a 5 - 2 victory over the White Sox. For the full story, look here:

Burnett pitching for the Bombers.

Good morning all and yes, I got a fresh pot of coffee brewin' as we speak. I hate to say it but the Yankees won another one last night over the Orioles 9 - 6. Thank god they are on a roll cause the Red Sox are doing the same thing and we are keeping a 6.5 game lead in 1st place. Tonight C.C. Sabathia starts on the mound for the Bombers and hopefully they put another "W" up on the scoreboard. Anyway, I hope everyone has a happy "Hump Day", and enjoys a favorite or two or........
