Playoffs start without the Yankees

The Yankees didn't make the playoffs this year, for the 1st time since 1995.. It is kind of sad, though, but, the way the season went, it was kind of expected.. I am such a fan of this team, that I can't seem to put my finger on what really went wrong. It was alot of different things, losing your best starting pitcher to not batting well with runners in scoring position. They did have a really hot streak after the All-Star game that I thought everything would be alright. But, then came the inconsistancies again, so it kind of got frustrating to watch them lose again. Oh, well, onto next year in the new Stadium.

Now, I have football to keep me busy. The Giants are off to a 3-0 start and didn't play all that great in their last game but came out with a win. SU finally won a game the week before last, and then lost this past weekend. So, they are 1-3, now.

I finally got my movies of Kevin Sorbo all caught up. I bought Never Cry Werewolf and Something Beneath. Now, if only they would put Last Chance Cafe on Dvd, I would be very happy...

Bye, for now...Virginia

Sept. 11, 2008.

I didn't blog yesterday because it was too hard to. I didn't know anyone who was in any of the planes or in the WCT or, the Pentagon, but it was still hard to forget and watch all the shows on the tv. I did end up watching one on History channel, that I had seen before of course. I thought about it almost all day at work. It is still hard to fathom that it did happen and they are still gone.

R.I.P.

Football season starts!!

I know, baseball isn't over yet, but, football started a couple of weeks ago. It's just a transition between sports. I don't think the Yankees can pull from being so far behind to win the wild card spot. It would appear that they may miss the playoffs for the 1st time since 1995!! That's a long time to play in them and then not be there. Maybe they will win it next year in the new stadium!

My Giants won their opening game of the season at home.. They are building a new stadium for the Giants and the Jets to play in. It is scheduled to open in 2010. It looks huge and they are building it in the parking lot right next door to the Meadowlands Giants Stadium. As you probably know the Giants won the Super Bowl last winter, over the undefeated(at the time) New England Patriots. It was one of the best SB's in history. I heard that Tom Brady, their QB, got hurt on Sunday and will be out the rest of the season. Tough break for them, but, they won with their 2nd string QB. I don't follow them so I don't know his name....The Giants offense did enough to win, but it was the defense that won the game for them by keeping Washington out of the end zone. Final score 16-9.

Well, the weather finally cooled down then went right back up again. Boy, now that it's Sept. you would think it would be cooler.

Sept 11th is this Thursday, and they have been having all the same programs on that they have been showing for the last 6 or 7 years. It still gives me goosebumps to see the planes hit and then to see them fall. If I'm in the right mood when I start to watch those shows I will cry, and do it very, very hard! I still have a flag in my front window and will not take it down until this is resolved. Meaning, that that MAN is either brought to justice or he has a most terrible accident that we have inflicted upon him. I won't even justify putting his name on this blog. I'm assuming you will all know who I mean...

Well, enough for now.

GOD BLESS THE USA!!!!!

Watching Andromeda

I just bought the Complete Andromeda Collection and am watching the last 4 shows tonight, of Season 5. I really love the collection as it has all of them in one sleeve. The only drawback is that there are no inserts in each case. The pictures are the same as the other releases, but the pictures on the dvds themselves aren't there either. It is just a deep navy blue background with gold or yellow lettering. All in all I like the convenience of having them all in one place.

The show itself I have always loved and will still continue to watch and follow everything that Kevin is doing with his career. I fell in love with him on Hercules and followed him to Andromeda and beyond... My favorite movies of his so far are Avenging Angel and I really liked the 2 he made of Walking Tall. I thought he did a good job in Meet the Spartans, his deadpan humor was right on!!
