Welcome back Molly!!

illstillbe - I see that you have been dragged off to the vet by the pup. In case I don't "see" you when you get back, have a calm, serenene, and pleasurable trip! If I'da had more notice, I could have loaned you my classy pumps for the trip (I know you have youown pair though, and I know they are classier even than mine).

BTW, please tell us how long you plan to be gone, so we won't have to send out a search party.

DJ, Guennie et al.......did the potential hurricane blow itself out???

Another unattributed Yankee commentary in my inbox this morning...ENJOY!!!!!!!!

They are just beyond explanation!!

Two straight nights of pure, unadulterated baseball.
Backs against the wall comebacks, back-to-back!
Sterling Hitchcock said, "It doen't matter what the score is. It doesn't matter what the inning is.It's almost like they set the stage for these kind of dramatics. It's unbelievable."
It seems that they just keep outdoing themselves each year!
Two wins, both including forehead-slapping homers with the Yanks down to their last out, may have proven once and for all that God has a pair of pinstripe pajamas in His closet.
Joe Torre said; "This is the most incredible couple of games I've ever managed."
This is a team Yogi Berra has to be proud of "It Ain't over 'til its over"
Two years from now, when Byung-Hyun Kim is pitching in the ninth inning of a tight game for the Altoona Beaver Boofers of the Middle Penn. Amateur Baseball League, his manager will stroll to the mound, pat him on the rump and offer some reassuring words. "BK...let 'em rip!" Brenly will say.
And he will. Kim will strike out the part-time auto mechanic. He'll force the accountant into an innocent pop-up to third. Then-- with all four fans on their feet and the Kutztown Krushers down to their final out--Kim will throw three spine-melting heaters past Paulie Duer, the .450-hitting, 450 lbs mason from nearby Jonestown. With strike three, Kim will pump his fist, jog to the dugout and embrace Brenly, skipper of the 2003 MPABL champs.
"We did it!" he'll say. "We did it!"
Kim will make a wonderful Altoona BeaverBoofer because history tells us so. Mitch Williams, the wild-yet- effective Phillies closer, allowed Joe Carter's walk-off homer in Game 6 of the 1993 World Series, then was never heard from again. Donnie Moore, the mediocre-yet--effective Angels closer, allowed Dave Henderson's Game 5 homer in the 1986 ALCS. He was never the same.
Throughout the season, Brenly has made his share of questionable calls. For a former catcher, he's surprisingly lax with pitch counts and tired arms. He often sends runners at odd times, and holds them at even odder ones. His line-ups are head-shakers. He's hit and miss.
If you've watched the last three games at Yankee Stadium, you've had to have seen former Yankee now with Arizona, Buck Showalter...he's not smiling! If you've seen Joe Garagiola Jr. (Arizona's GM) he's not laughing either. And if the Diamondbacks loose this the good people of Altoona...well they can't wait!!

Thanks, Josie!

Somebodies have some awfully cute grandchildren!^))

Don't think I'd recognize Garth Brooks either, g6.

How's your kitten doing? MY younger cat has draped himself on the table, between the computer screen and the keyboard.

His paws touch my fingers as I type.

I AM HERE!, he wants me to know!
