damn near elation

when the Yankees lost last night i mostly brushed it off because i was still happy about the team USA win in the Gold Cup. so, when the Yankees played this afternoon with their best pitcher on the mound, i had high hopes they could earn a split in the series. and that's exactly what they did. 2-0 win. great pitching from the Yankees. a victory beer i enjoyed greatly. they next play tomorrow night back home against a Tampa team hotter than cow shit in July. it's pretty damn close to do or die for the team at this point.

team USA played another great game for their 10th win in a row. 3-1 over Honduras. next game is the Gold Cup final on Sunday against Panama in Chicago. these 2 teams played a classic in this situation back in 2005. i wouldn't be shocked if it happens again. i just hope that the coach of team USA will be on the sidelines for the game. no word yet if he will be or not as of right now.

i think i know who is getting evicted tonight on Big Brother. i'm more interested on who wins the next HOH. that could make for a very interesting week if someone unexpected wins it.

other than that, tonight i'll be watching Wilfred. looks like another classic from the previews.

last night's episode of The Bridge was fantastic. i'm quickly becoming a huge fan of the show. it truly is can't miss television.

i'm hoping to hit the bed early tonight as Manchester United plays early in the morning again from Japan. hopefully they play better than they did in their last match.

i'm really looking forward to my order from amazon.com. my musical tastes are getting pretty weird here lately. and i'm toying with the idea of getting a mandolin and a turntable. of course, knowing how i am, within 2 months both would be collecting dust.

tomorrow will also be one of those weird days for me as it is my father's birthday. the father i haven't seen since Jan. 23, 1995 even though we have always lived in the same county in the same state. i believe he turns 67. don't be shocked if a few poems don't suddenly pop into my head tomorrow and i'm babbling about them on here.

another tremendous day of weather here. it's supposed to rain this weekend but it looks like i'll get one more night with the windows open. that's definitely one thing i will miss if we end up having to move away from the farm.

that's pretty much it for today. hope everyone is having a great week and looking forward to a better weekend.
