Weekly Random Thoughts On The Yankees
The Yankees went 4-2 this week and are now 12-10, one game behind Boston.Fun stats: The Yankees are 9-0 in day games, 3-10 at night... The Yankees are 2-10 in games in which they score five or fewer runs, 10-0 when they score six or more... Randy Johnson is 3-0 at home with an ERA of 3.79. On the road, he is 1-2 with a 5.40 ERA.
Not-so-fun stats: Jaret Wright still sucks... Mariano Rivera is 0-2 with three saves and has an ERA of 4.32. He's given up ten hits, two walks, and four earns runs in eight and a third innings.
The Yankees start a two-game series at Fenway on Monday night. The game is on ESPN, so all my Red Sox friends are welcome to come over to my house and watch the Yankees win.
Arizona Cardinals: The Team To Beat In 2006 2007?
They already had two of the best receivers in the league in Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald. During the offseason, they added Edgerrin James to their roster. And with the tenth pick in the first round of today's NFL Draft, they added the 2004 Heisman Trophy Winner, USC QB Matt Leinart. They still have issues with their defense and their offensive line. But damn, they should be able to light up the scoreboard.And Mr. Leinart, if you're reading this (and I know you are), you could have been the #1 draft pick last year, playing with the San Francisco 49ers and making millions more. Was it worth it to stay in college an extra year, take ballroom dancing, and score with any USC girl you wanted?
Never mind. I just answered my own question.
Stuff Only You Care About
Ok. This is the spot where every week I'll answer a question from a reader. So if you've got a question, drop me a line or leave a comment.This week's question came from Mrs. Fortune: Do you guys want to have more kids?
Short Answer: Hell!!! No!!!
Long Answer: Actually, my wife wants another kid. Or two. Or ten.
Me? No how, no way.
If you have more than two children, that's great. You have my utmost admiration. I just don't believe I could handle another child (those of you who read this site on a regular basis know I have enough problems dealing with two children).
When people ask me this question, I reply, "I never want my kids to outnumber my arms" or "If Ella wants Child #3, she'll have to find Husband #2." Snort. Chuckle. Ha-ha-ha and all that jazz.
But look. The world is built for four. If you go to a restaurant, the booth seats four. If you go to a hotel room, the room sleeps four. Adding another person to the mix means a longer wait at the local Italian restaurant and someone sleeping on the floor during your Disneyland trip. Who wants that?
Plus, a third child would lead to one of my worst fears.
