PHILLYQ

Today was chicken parts marinated in olive oil, Lemon Juice, chopped garlic, sage leaves & salt & pepper accompanied by sauteed asparagus(in oil with shallots, garlic, lemon zest ,lemon juice & salt & pepper)

I wonder what that was all about. I don't know, but the gate was halfway down and there was a sign on the door that said "if you know exactly what you want, knock". I wanted to browse(and buy), so out of luck for me.

Joe Torre did, also. IF(BIG IF) Nomar can stay healthy, he can be a 'supersub', play some 1st, some outfield, DH, some protection against injuries, etc. He may not ask for much as far as salary, either.

The latest rumor has the Yankees signing Nomar to play first and trading for Kaz Matsui to play second. Then the Yankees can have an all-shortstop infield(If you believe that one I have a bridge to sell to you)!

I was set to get something for myself tonight- I was in downtown Manhattan, on my way to Downtown Music Gallery, and- THEY WERE CLOSED! I'll have to try again another day(sigh).

The interesting thing is what this does to Giambino. His splits between DH and 1st base are really eye-popping: In other words, those splits are for 695 at bats at first base, 521 at bats as DH. I'd say that's a statistically significant difference. Funny, cuz its not like he's an asset in the field or anything. Giambi is still a better first baseman than Nomar right now. Some players do hit better when they also play the field, and Giambi is one of those people.

After all the nonsense associated with this release I refuse to believe any release date until it is actually released.

Sadly, this attack is only one of many. Coming soon to your local video store, 'When Pianos Attack', shocking footage of Steinway, Bosendorfer, and lesser brands attacking unsuspecting players.

'Live in Concert' is screamingly funny- I've seen it about ten times and still scream whenever I see it. It is a work of pure genius, as he races from topic to topic and yet somehow manages to tie everything together. RIP- he made me laugh(& think).

I recall reading an interview of JML by Fripp, where Fripp told JML that he didn't listen to his music anymore because he didn't want to be too heavily influenced by what JML was doing.

Is Mike Piazza still a Met? Or is LoDuca trade bait?

The Furcal deal strikes me as a gross overpayment. Furcal does not have a high OBP and no power , so offensively he's not exceptional. I can't see paying him $13Mil a year for production that is NOT exceptional. The Mets felt they were getting played by the agents for Molina & Hernandez, so they struck quickly and made the LoDuca deal. I like Omar Minaya's approach, he's aggressive and not that willing to be hornswaggled by a shifty agent. I think the Mets may be greatly improved over last year.

At least if he had gotten a job at McDonalds he might have gotten some respect, but Ronald McDonald working at Wendys? What is this world coming to?

My condolences Jim. I lost a friend 8 years ago who was 35, and it's impossible to make any sense out of it. I try to remember the laughs and the funny stories about him.

Along with Dr. Seuss, a BIG favorite of my son when he was a little guy(13 now). Berenstain added to the world and made it a little better. RIP
