[7] Also, Dice-K has been slammed but line drives are sizzling straight to fielders. Jerry Remy just said that he’s been good since the first! Definitely not true.

But, yeah, where has the old Scot Kazmir gone?

Man.. Kazmir is doing everything to give this one back. 4-2 after 3.

As it stands, the Yankees are hopeful that anti-inflammatories – and possibly some extra rest – will get Andy Pettitte through the mild stiffness around his pitching elbow. Unless the situation deteriorates or the problem refuses to go away, the disabled list does not seem likely.

“Right now the DL is not something that’s being considered,” general manager Brian Cashman said this afternoon.

[4] Yeah, that was delightful. Dice-K had a little trouble controlling his slider, you’d have to say. I think he threw it twelve times, once in the strike zone (that was watching, not from Gameday, so I’m not pretending to be precise). And then for more fun, they had a chance to get out of the inning relatively unscathed, bases loaded with one out, and Rivera hit a tailor-made double play ball to Scutaro, but Little Pony bounced the relay and Big Ugly botched the scoop and BoBBy scored. And then Kendrick doubled in two more runs. Heh.

Matsuzaka’s attacking the strike zone more now, getting smacked but so far no real damage.

a little bit before i left boson they had a pretty big hopper exhibit at the museum of fine arts. i had always been a little resistant to his work before, but for some reason i appreciate his work a lot more when i saw this exhibit.
maybe a different understanding of alone and loneliness.

i particularly like this piece – the contrast in the colors and the complete stillness of it all.

[1] exactly on sunday morning quite, light, and serene.

One of the best. My uncle got me the catalog to a Hopper Show in the late 70s or early 80s, my first art book. I was always drawn to his pictures as a kid. Something about the lonliness, how NOBODY ever smiled.

I, too found the article interesting. Hopper has always been one of my favorites. I simply loved the lit up characters who were otherwise isolated in their aloneness, somewhat introverted. Their anonymity was a relief to me.

I stil see that image in the city when I’m looking in a coffee shop seeing a lone customer blankly staring into space. It happens daily. Sometimes that person is me.

I love Early Sunday Morning. So quiet and so light.
