Stuff Only I Care About XXXIX

Weekly Random Thoughts on the Yankees

Yeah, the Yankees lost seven games in a row (four of which were to the Red Sox), but I'm here to focus on the positive: THE YANKEES ARE ON A ONE-GAME WINNING STREAK! WOO-HOO!

Highlights from Saturday's game against Boston:
  • Kei Igwa, who entered Saturday's game demoted to the bullpen due to his 7.84 ERA, pitched six scoreless innings when he came in for Jeff Karstens, who left with a broken leg after six pitches. Igwa gave up two hits, four walks, and struck out six batters.
  • Mariano Rivera, who entered the game with a 12.15 ERA, pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his first save of the season. It only took twenty-two games.
  • Ballgame over! Yankees win! Thuuuuuuuuuuu Yankees WIN!
The Yankees are still in last place in the AL East, five-and-a-half games behind the Red Sox. They own the second worst record in the American League. Their starting pitchers continue to drop like flies and falter when healthy (with the exception of Igwa's performance this afternoon). Their bullpen is running on fumes. But they're still averaging 5.78 runs per game. And that's with Damon, Matsui, and Cabrera all batting below .250.

Bloggers For A Cure

The Lovely Mrs. Davis Tells You What To Think, Jefitoblog, and twelve other blogs have banded together to create Bloggers For A Cure to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis research. Among the many prizes they have donated are signed CDs from damn near every children's music artist on the scene and a 250G external hard drive filled with handpicked mp3s from Jefitoblog. If you'd like to make a donation and enter the drawings, click here.

Cooking For A Cause

MothersClick have created a cookbook culled from recipes contributed by their online community. The Food Network's Nigella Lawson wrote the forward for the cookbook and even contributed a recipe of her own. But the best thing about the cookbook is that 100% of the proceeds will be donated to The Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

Clueless

Can someone explain the point behind MyBlogLog? Is it just more needless blog bling? Or is there something more to it that I'm just not seeing?

Woodstock Was For Hippies

The other week, Mikeal at Tattooed Dad was kind enough to fill me in on the greatest music festival the world has ever seen. Forget Woodstock, Bonnaroo, SXSW, Lollapalooza, and Coachella. The Rock Fever Festival, a three-day festival held in Oklahoma in mid July, buries them all.

Check out the lineup: Bang Tango, Britny Fox, BulletBoys, Dokken, Enuff Z'nuff, Faster Pussycat, Firehouse, Great White, Jackyl, LA Guns, Vince Neil, Poison, Quite Riot, Ratt, Slaughter, Skid Row, Twisted Sister, Warrant, W.A.S.P., White Lion, Winger, and Y&T.

I have said, "Fact: bears eat beets" approximately seventeen times in the past forty-eight hours.

Spring Cleaning

I'm in the process of changing some stuff around on the site. You may have noticed that I've put my archived Songs Of The Day in one location, The Cynical Dad Jukebox. I've also moved my blogroll to a separate page. So if you use a feed reader to read my crap, you may see weird pages pop up during the process.
