BRONX, NY – I’m going to the no-longer-so-new Yankee Stadium (otherwise known around here as Billy Crystal’s Whore Emporium™) tomorrow afternoon to watch the Bombers and Angels close out their series. It’s supposed to be a nice warm day, and a good time will be had by some. I’m getting a free ticket, so I’ve really got nothing to complain about but, don’t worry, I’ll find plenty. In fact, let’s get started in the complaint department by pointing out that someone not affiliated with this site is giving me a free ticket to a frickin’ Yankees game before my so-called Mets connections in this digital dead space are hooking me up with ducats to Citi Field. I mean, the A’s were just in town! You couldn’t get me tickets to that lousy series??? I guess I should thank you. To that end…
The Mets are Terrible… Again. It appears that my lifelong chum JG Clancy was spot-on when he predicted that the Mets would not be winning anything this season. They have come out of the gate like a three-legged dog with Attention Deficit Disorder. All the goodwill that came with knocking Paul Skenes out in the first inning on opening day has vanished into the ether along with their starting pitching, offense, and Carlos Mendoza’s job security.
2026 World Cup at MetLife Stadium. I just want to say this, anyone who is planning on going to see any FIFA World Cup games at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium this summer is absolutely on a suicide mission. Not only does the venue stink on ice, but it’s going to be impossible getting in and out of there. Whoever is responsible for choosing MetLife as a site for this event’s final, is a chaotic criminal mastermind. But… go ahead and enjoy!
NBA Playoffs. The NBA playoffs are finally underway, and my Golden State (Golden Oldies) Warriors should be eliminated from the play-in in short order. As for the other games, the Lakers/Rockets series should also be fun for nostalgiacs wanting to get one more glimpse of LeBron and Durant getting after it one last time before taking over the courts at Del Boca Vista. As for the Knicks, they should beat the Hawks. I said, should. I’m gonna leave it at that.
The Masters. I enjoyed watching The Masters this past weekend. No… really. That is all.
I think I’m done for today, but will be back next week with a comprehensive assessment of my latest visit to the House that Greed Built. Don’t get me wrong, Steve Cohen isn’t exactly looking like the benevolent Mets fan that he’d have you believe. He has a casino project that I’m pretty sure he’s way more interested in at this point. It never ends.
Buddy Diaz is back in the saddle tomorrow. Yippee-Ki-Yay!
