the breaking point

apparently there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it's not a train. it's supposedly a cold front that will break this seemingly never ending cycle of days with temps in the 80's or 90's with a humidity higher than 80% every single day. the forecast calls for lows in the 50's in a day or so. as usual, i'll believe it when i see it.

the Yankees offense has went into the shitter once again. they were facing a pitcher last night that hadn't beaten them since 2009. so, of course, the Yankees lose 5-1. i watched the bottom of the 9th inning in great horror as the bases were loaded with nobody out. the next 3 guys proceeded to all strike out. i suppose the only highlight of the game was the grounds crew struggling to put on the tarp at the start of the rain delay. what a great start to HOPE week.

Monday Night Raw last night was excellent. some great wrestling, highlighted by Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus, Chris Jericho vs. Curtis Axel, and Randy Orton vs. CM Punk. all 3 of those matches were top notch. the Wyatt Family debut was superb. the powers that be played it perfectly with the entrance being completely in the dark. Bray Wyatt will be a huge star before too long if they do this correctly. toss in a new gm that should surprise people in the long run and you have youth finally being served on the show. i'm damn near tempted to buy the PPV on Sunday. it won't happen, but i will anxiously await the results.

i'll watch the Yankees tonight until Deadliest Catch comes on. judging from the commercials, this looks like another can't miss episode.

and then team USA plays in the Gold Cup against Belize. on the west coast so i'll be up pretty late for my old ass. but, i should be enjoying a victory beer afterwards. can't say the same for the Yankees game.

a big thank you to Frontier Communications for the $25 taken off the bill for the last month. still should have been more considering the shitty product we get, but i'll gladly take it.

i'm pretty happy i got this done before the storms are supposedly going to hit. we've been missed for the last few days, so i'm figuring it's going to hit us tonight.

hope everyone is well. until tomorrow...
