LUCKY!!! Anyone have an extra ticket?????
Do Yankees fans exist?
I must have seen hundreds of people while riding the subway and catching the train to Grand Central. Many of them were wearing hats. Here’s what I saw:
- 2 Yankees hats
- 1 Mets hat
- 1 Cleveland Indians hat
- 2 Red Sox hats (my own excluded)
- 1 Red Sox 2007 World Champions hat
Hats aside, I saw ONE guy wearing a Yankees jacket. For a team that claims to have lots of “true fans,” I’m finding it hard to believe when you can’t even tell the day after you win the freaking World Series.I’m a true fan, and I have a Yankees hat… but it seemed kind of corny to wear it today.
Go to the parade tomorrow and then tell me yankees fans dont exist

i cried.
and this from a mets fan
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
last night, the knitting factory in wburg held the listening party for the bear coat. i wasnt really sure what to expect, but 8 songs, 3 hours, 2 american honeys and 1 intriguing conversation later, i left a very happy girl. (even given the yankee loss, but it’s okay, see post below).
the bear coat is a side project for the brooklyn based duo Shane Konen & Jason Parks that is quickly taking off and its not hard to hear why. their unconventional sound is made up of 12 part harmonies mixed with electronics and playful changes in tempo. their lyrics dawn catchy phrases like “pussy repellent” and “operation stiletto”, and the best part is they dont make their music for the sake of making music. in fact, they refuse to perform until they perfect their live act. furthermore, they believe in making their concert experience more than a concert. their vision is to create an event so artistically satisfying that it would keep you on a high for months and ensure you never skipped out when they came to your town. how, you ask? a perfect combination of live music, conceptual art, and full-fledged performance, rather than hiding behind instruments and regurgitating their cd.
with songs already written for albums 2 and 3, they better start getting their show on the road so we can all start going to see them!
if you like what you hear, email me and i can send you some more of their stuff
edit: you might need my email for that, huh? michelle.alden.adams@gmail.com
i'm conflicted
i want nothing more to see the yankees win the series tonight… BUT…
how much sweeter would it be to do it at home, with pettitte on the mound, and pitching to posada?? they’ve both meant so much more to us than molina and definitely than burnett (who i do not trust) and there’s not really a better way to christen the new stadium.
Additionally, this is my new favorite GIF.
If I was a Phillies fan, this play would haunt me for ages.
Once Feliz realizes nobody is covering third, he should have chased down Damon like his pants were on fire. It’s Game 5 of the World Series and Feliz is taking a Sunday evening stroll down the third base line.
I don’t even like the Phillies and I wanted to strangle this guy.
From his postgame interview, it sounded like Damon was pretty confident he was a lot faster than Feliz. I think Feliz knew it too. I guess there is something to be said for trying, in case Damon trips and falls or something.
This was awesome :)
