LIVE FROM NEW YORK by ST

It's 7:35 as I sit in my sister's kitchen about to journey into Manhattan for the next couple of days. Yanks/Sox tonite, Broadway show tomorrow. How about Mariano Rivera walking in a run versus the Twins yesterday then serving up a grand slam to blow the game? That's as rare as Haley's Comet. We caught a break with the announcement Javier Vasquez was not starting this evening and Phillip Hughes will get the ball to duel with Dice K. This cancels my potential plans to storm the field and be the next taser victim.
I guess Orlando was a tad rusty after the long layoff following back to back sweeps. Celtics capitalized with some great energy and a willingness to play physical ball. Gotta credit Doc Rivers with some solid coaching. Also a doff of the cap to Orlando for not rolling over and making a game of it. Now game 2 becomes a must for the Magic. No way Rashard Lewis clangs again like that and Dwight Howard has to play smarter. He seemed intent on forcing the issue a bit rather than kick back out when it simply wasn't there, not to mention turning it over 7 times himself. I'd also assume Matt Barnes, who has been so good for them will show he because he was awful.
Have had the chance to speak with lot's of friends and family who are college football fans. It's amazing how many were wired into with what happened with Masoli. Some expressed surprise to see the Ducks still ranked so high in some of the early polls. I explained about the rest of the offense returning, a beast of a secondary and the speed on defense. Also handed out some Oregon gear so the green & yellow will fly colors here in North Jersey come kickoff this September.
Look for me with my "BOSTON SUCKS" red T-Shirt in section 214A at the New Yankee Stadium tonight. Catch ya tomorrow!

I do not think you have pick a better game to go to.

you can insert "could" in between you and have and while you are at it you can put a -ed on pick too.
