It would be bad,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
- I Forgot Dinner plans , till it was too late to go...
- I did not get into the NYC Marathon,,,, My Status is "UNACCEPTABLE"
!
- I had a Major RLS attack in the middle of a 2 hour meeting,,, I need help.,
- I took a day off from running
Generally a Crap day !
Well, the Yanks took 2 of 3 from the Bosox in BOSTON ... that's a good thing,,..
Doubt if it will make me feel better ,, but here are the Beach Boys...
Surfer Girl from the album ...SURFER GIRL...

Let's get Ready to RUMBLE !!!!!!
Here we go AGAIN,... seems like a long Winter,,,a very long time since the Greatest Franchise in sports, and world history WON their Unbelievable 27th championship !! Don't think they are the Greatest ?
oh yea,, What Team do you root against the MOST,,, THE BALTIMORE ORIOLES ? Bet NOT ! and who do you compare YOUR TEAM to ??? I bet its the Yanks,,, sure ain't the Freaking METS !!
ok,, so I tell myself EVERY Year,,, relax,,, take a deep breath,,, its a long season,,, and yet every night,,, I am on the edge of my seat,, hanging on each pitch ! ,, waiting for great comeback !,.... and the tension builds,, the expectations are so high. Maybe it's easier being a fan of a losing team.,,, YOU know in your heart of hearts that they suck, and they are not gonna make the playofffs,,, so when they don't it's no bigge,,,,
OK,,, I am not a blind Yankee fan like some.,.. there are good players on other teams , and "OUR" team has flaws,,, lets check it out ....
Pitching Rotation
CC, Burnett, Pettitte, Vazquez, and Hughes...
Ok,, CC , and AJ I expect they will both near the 20 WIN mark
Pettitte - I'd be thrilled with 15,,, and would take 12 wins
Vazquez,,, WHO knows,,, last time we saw him he was losing game 7 to the F SOX
Hughes, - I think 12 wins,,, might get surprised,,, but 12 is good,
Bull pen,
Mariano will be Mariano - AGAIN !
Joba - he is the Mo heir apparent,,, look for him to be Mr 8th inning,, and might even bop that goofy looking Pukolus in the head again !
Aceves, Marte, Mitre, - oh boy,,, betche its hit or miss
Chan ho Park, how old is this guy ? 37 !! he will end up either released or in AAA with the Agawa ! They got him caused he pitched well .vs the Yanks in the Series.,..
I like Robertson, and Aceves to get to the Big Boys
Line-up
Jeter - Same ole Jeets,,,
Johnson - will be on the DL more than in the line up...look for Randy Winn to get more play time
Teixeira - Huge year,,, just huge,,,
Alex - MVP type year,,,
Cano - will he survive hitting behind A-rod ? A-rod's year might depend on how well CANO hits...
Jorge - be interesting to see how many games Cervelli gets behind the Plate, and I think Jorge moves up to the 5 spot..
Swisher, - same as last year,,, real solid OBP guy
Granderson, may hit 2nd,,, How many times will he Strike OUT.. he hit .249 last year, but I think he was like 180 .vs Leftys..ouch !
Gardener - Can he hit enought to stay in the line up.,,, we will see,,, hope he gets like 30 - 40 games to find out...
Bench
Randy Winn - hmmm - IF Johnson cant play he might
Cervelli- I'd like to see him catch - alot, and DH Posada
Pena - just a kid,,,, don't expect much
Marcus Thames - My son loved this guy when we saw him at Spring Training a few years ago,,, Can he handle the BIG stage in the Bronx ??? i think so.,

My subjects.... 13. 1 Flushing Meadows,, & New FLICKR
1st up,,, the 13.1 mile 1/2 Marathon yesterday at Flushing meadows park.,...1st off,, excellent accommodations,,,at A & R's in Kew Gardens,,,,, nice dinner, and post race Lunch , plus transportation to and from the race. Although we parked WAaaay away from Fluching meadows, over on the opposite side of CITI Field,,, and if you know that neighborhood,,, and the auto repair shops that line the street,,,
Can you spell S C E T C H Y ??
The 13.1 miles was very good,,, nice course even though it wound around and around thru the park,,, and they could have not put up the later mile signs at the beginning of the race,,,, just a mental thing jogging past the 10 mile sign just after the 3rd mile !
Plenty of support along the course, Gatorade, and water at every mile past the 5 mile mark. and lots of spectators. It was really neat running by the Unisphere... and rememebring when I was there at the Worlds Fair in 1964...
Overall decent time for FAT me,,, 2:06:19 Chip time - 35th of 70 some in my Age group, and 992 of 2103 runners overall,... so my last 1/2 marathons, have been 2:04, 2:10 , 2:05, 2:30 (intentionally slow at Disney) and now 2:06... a bit disappointed with the T-shirt,,, its nice microfiber and cool dark green and all,,, but the XL size is barely a Large,,, so I can never wear it,, maybe I'll shrink one day, and fit into it then !!
If you care my splits were,,, and I missed some miles , but this is close,,,
9:57, 9:31, 9:28, 9:23, 9:25, 9:26, 9:36, 9:56, 9:31, 10:15, 9:35, 9:27, 9:57 (1.1 miles)
Just after the finish !!
Crossing the Line
Mile 12
Mile 5
From the Start back across to the Unisphere...
