I like that movie quite a bit, but I found it disconcerting that everyone made fun of Stallone’s deaf ear in a big way. It did not ring true, even in the hard-core piss-taking world of NY-NJ (where I grew up). Anyone else? I thought that tick was WAY overblown.

Glad I spent the weekend in Boston with no Extra Innings. Blue Jays blowing out the Red Sox does ease the pain.

Pa Sterling reported that the Yankees have never been swept four games by the A’s at Oakland. This is a first.

Yowser. Went away for the weekend, listened to today’s game on the radio on the ride home. Break up the Athletics. Good for them. What exactly happened? Four one run losses, walk offs, youngsters with nothing to lose. Inge was a Yankee killer in Detroit, more bad memories.

Time to forget it. Six game lead, .600 record. Back to rolling on. This four game stretch is just an alternative universe period. Hopefully…
