Back to blogging

I’ve been out of commission lately, dealing with some personal matters. So this is my first blog in a while. I pretty much missed blogging the tournament. Florida played great and totally deserved their championship.

And baseball has begun. The Yankees won and the Red Sox lost. A perfect day. Amusingly the Yankees had to start Carl Pavano for opening day. Here was the best line from the NY Daily News today:

A meteorite didn’t land on him during the first inning, so Carl Pavano’s day already was a success

The article went on to describe Pavano as “working on 643 days rest”. Hilarious. If you aren’t a baseball fan, Pavano was highly paid to come to the Yankees and then proceeded to have a series of injuries for almost two years. He wasn’t great, but the Yankees offense did the trick and the bullpen was strong. Mariano Rivera, greatest closer ever, struck out the side in the 9th. That’s how you end opening day.
