the Yankees absolutely whipped Cleveland last night, 12-3. they got 7 off of the best pitcher in the AL this season, just about equaling what he had given up all season. it was wonderful to watch. hopefully, the bats will be hot tonight and they sweep the Indians.
a delightful trip into the dark mind of an evil genius or simply the musings of an asshole

3 hours and i couldn't come up with one damn poem...
i was at the dealership for more than 3 hours today. i guess they had to replace one of the brakes, plus the wipers, do an oil change, rotate the tires, etc. of course, the parts they needed for the brakes they didn't have, so i had to wait. joy. i took my little notebook with me, hoping to get a little writing done while i was there. i had a few lines come to me, but i could never get a whole poem out of them. not exactly the way i wanted to end the month. fuck...
congrats to the Tampa Bay Lightning on winning the Stanley Cup. i'm so happy for Ryan McDonagh and Kevin Shattenkirk, two ex-Rangers who deserve this.

imagine a day full of rain and the pain puts you to sleep...
not to mention, the internet keeps going in and out and your lower back is waving the white flag. fuck, i hate days like these...
the Yankees lost to the Marlins yesterday, 5-0. thanks to Baltimore beating the Blue Jays, the Yankees got the 5th seed in the playoffs instead of the 8th seed. so, they now have to play at Cleveland in the first round. given the Indians pitching and the Yankees offense only showing up when they want to, i can't imagine the Yankees winning this series.
here are your highlights from the NBA last night. i am really looking forward to the NBA Finals...

while washing my hands...
i threw my back out this morning while washing my hands. i was just starting to put soap on my hands when i felt my back just give way. so, i know what i'll be doing the rest of the day. joy.
the Yankees won yesterday over the Marlins, 11-4. the last game of the season is today. if the Yankees win, they will be the 5th seed in the playoffs. if they lose and the Blue Jays win, the Yankees will be the 8th seed in the playoffs and playing down in that dump in Tampa.

stealing three points...
so i got up at 6 this morning, to make sure i was up to see Manchester United. by the end of their match with Brighton, i'm pretty sure i had used every cuss word ever invented in the history of man. United won 3-2. Brighton hit the post or crossbar 5 different times in the game. and the game winner for United basically came after the game was over. totally fucking crazy. but, i'll gladly take the three points United didn't deserve. the funny thing is, they have to play Brighton again on Wednesday in the League Cup. oh boy.

welcome to a no luck Friday...
so, i did go out baseball card hunting today and didn't find one fucking pack. i found a pack of hockey cards, but i didn't have any interest in buying those today. 2 hours i will never get back. oh well.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
Big Brother went as i expected last night. Da'Vonne was evicted and Cody is the new HOH. i do love that a triple eviction is coming this week. that should spice things up.
NXT UK was really good last night.
Desus & Mero was hilarious last night.
here are your highlights from the NBA last night:
the Yankees lost to the Blue Jays last night, 4-1. with the win, Toronto qualified for the playoffs. now, the Yankees have to win 2 out of 3 against the Marlins to finish second in the division. that series starts tonight in the Bronx.

as soon as i heard the pop...
i rolled over in bed last night and heard my back pop. i knew any chance i had for decent sleep was gone. i basically have been icing my back all day long and trying to catch up on sleep. these are the days where i realize death would have been the smarter choice when i was younger.
the Yankees lost to Toronto last night, 14-1. hopefully, they will split the series tonight, but i won't be holding my breath.
here are your highlights from the NHL last night:

the greatest tag team that ever lived...
when i woke up this morning i saw the news about Road Warrior Animal dying at age 60. The Road Warriors were my favorite tag team growing up. they introduced me to Black Sabbath. they looked like true bad asses and were easily, at least in my mind, the greatest tag team that ever lived. it's so damn hard to even think that both Hawk and Animal are now dead. thanks for all the memories. may you rest in power and peace.

breakfast at noon
i'm not sure last night could have gone any worse for me. just one shitty thing after another. i was beyond fucking annoyed by the time i got to bed at 5 this morning.
the New York Yankees lost to Toronto last night, 11-5.

well, that was fruitless...
i had to go out and pick up some pills for my mother today at the grocery store. i figured, since i was out, i'd check out the Walgreens across the street and see if they had any baseball cards. i remember getting a jumbo box there a month or so ago. of course, they were all out. i decided to check at Rite Aid where i live to see if they had any. nope. well fuck.
the Yankees lost to Boston yesterday, 10-2, but thanks to Seattle losing to San Diego, the Yankees did clinch a playoff spot. they start a 4 game series with Toronto tonight. hopefully, they get back to winning so they can at least have the first round of the playoffs at Yankee Stadium.
here are your NBA highlights from last night:
the finale of Love Fraud was good last night.
Our Cartoon President was fucking hilarious last night.

at least the day got better as it went along...
so, when i was last on here, it was right before Manchester United was going to play yesterday. thank fucking god i didn't watch the game. United lost to Crystal Palace 3-1. great. maybe this will be a wake up call to the club to sign some fucking people. or, maybe the owners want them to become an afterthought.

let the hypocrisy begin...
my mother audibly screamed last night when she found out about the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. i told her i'm pretty sure the Republicans will ram through a nominee in the 6 weeks before the election, kindly forgetting the bullshit rules they established when Scalia died in Obama's presidency. i'd love to believe the American people are tired of this kind of hypocrisy, but i know more to actually believe that. the stupid fucks in this country believe god is on the side of the right, therefore they can do whatever the fuck they want. i can only imagine their sadness when they realize religion is all bullshit too.
the Yankees were down 4-0 last night early to the Red Sox. i didn't like their chances, but, the Red Sox are tanking their season. the Yankees came back to win 6-5 in 12 innings. that's 9 wins in a row. hopefully, tonight they make it to 10.
