2 GRRRS/One YAY

GRRR 1)The Rangers lost the series 4-3, after being up 3-1, nothing else to say.

GRRR 2)The Mets blew another lead with the bullpen screwing up again.

YAY! The Devils lost at home in a horrible way. Giving up 2 goals in the final 80 seconds.

Well, I need to happy about SOMETHING today!!

OY Times 2

OY #1: The Rangers. Up 3-1 against the Crapitals and now it is back to D.C. for game 7. Nothing is ever easy.

OY#2: Mr. Ollie Perez..or should I say Mr. Inconsistent. I truly believe a demotion may actually help him. But then who knows. It would have been nice if he could have pitched a good game and the Mets could have gotten a sweep of the Nats (Not Nat Birmbaum)and feel a little bit better about themselves.

That's it for the OY's. I have a feeling thre will be more in a day or two.

Rangers

Well, fellow Ranger fans, being that they are up 2-0 against The Capitals with the next 2 at The Garden is just excellent. Lundqvist has been phenominal and they have even scored a couple of power play goals. There is still lots of hockey in this round, but ya gotta love it. Game 3 tomorrow at The Garden. The World's Most Famous Arena.

Good Sounds

There are some musicians that you never get tired of. Case in point is Jorma Kaukonen. For those not familiar, he was lead guitarist in The Jefferson Airplane and still is lead guitarist in Hot Tuna. Last night he was at a new place in N.Y. that opened in Dec, called the City Winery. It was Jorma, Barry Mitterhoff and Larry Campbell, from Bob Dylan's band. They were playing tunes from a new CD, which included an old Pig Pen tune called Operator, and of course some old Tuna favorites.
Plus after the show, he signed autographs on his new CD and I go tot meet him. That was way f*****g cool!!

LOB

For those who may not know, LOB is short for left on base. Last year, The Mets had a problem with that. So many times, they had chances to win games, but couldn't do the job. Now I am not panicking yet since the season just started, but the Mets lost to the Marlins last night and could have won....I know...woulda, coulda, shoulda....but they left 14 men on base. That is absolutely HORRIBLE. They better get their act together and soon.

HALLELUJAH!!!!!

True to my word, I said I wouldn't write anything till the Rangers made the playoffs or was eliminated. Well, I am happy to report, that The Rangers beat the hated Flyers tonight at The Garden to secure a playoff spot. Who they play and how they will fare is another story, but as long as they are in the playoffs, anything is possible. LET'S GO RAN-GERS!!!!!

P.S. POTVIN SUCKS!!!Sorry had to write it...I am giddy!!)

Music...for a change

I know I have been talking mostly about sports as of late, and I didn't even mention that The Mets won on Opening Day...HOORAY!! And as I previously mentioned, no word on that other team till Sunday.
This past Saturday however, was one of those shows that makes me glad and thankfull I live in New York. It was The Farewell To Jimmy Vivino Show at The Bowery Ballroom....a nice little place on The Lower East Side of Manhattan. For those who don't know, Jimmy is the lead guitarist for the Max Weinberg Seven on Conan O'Brien and since Conan is moving west, so is Jimmy. He is also the lead guitarist for The Fab Faux, the best Beatle cover band EVER, plus since I have seen him since the early 80's, he has played with Al Kooper, Son Seals, Johnny Johnson, and so many others. The band he played with is another side project called Prisoners of Second Ave, formerly called Steaks and Chops, and they do covers of tunes we all grew up with but may not have ever heard live. They are just phenominal. He is the setlist with the special guests. You may be familiar with these names.
