Josh Q. Public:Tuck you in, warm within. Keep you free from sin. Till the sandman he comes. -Metallica
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Like my main Matthew always says, “So the last shall be first, and the first last.” Like Michael Kay said. Michael Kay is on the radio today. A few days ago, Michael Kay said Mariano Rivera should start in this summer’s 79th Midsummer Classic. Michael Kay was right. And what’s right is right. This is right. Phil Niekro says, “This final All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium is what the Stadium is all about, memories.” What better memory could there be than trotting out the Sandman to start that ballgame? Mariano may not have built this house, but he sure put a lot of work into it. Put a lot of work into it back when he was setting up John Wetteland. Back when he was setting up the first Yankees Championship in eighteen years. Back when he was setting up a Dynasty. The rest, as they say, is history. A history of memories. MLB, Terry Francona, do like M-M-M-Martin. Do like M-M-M-Malcom. Do the right thing. Howard Cosell will tell you, “What’s right isn’t always popular. What’s popular isn’t always right.” I’m here to tell ya, this will be both right and popular. Get her done.
Wetteland was a fine Texas Ranger and community minded family man. We need more like him.
(The A-Rod situation is making him look like as big of a dirt ball as his errant Mrs.)
What's this about NY wanting Mariano as a starter in the All Star game? It's time for the league to tell NY to kiss off; it's about MLB, not your insipid last year stadium.
Nice stuff, as usual.
My two posts in two days should have worn me out.
your hatred for all thing east coast is clouding your vision. its like cal playing in the all star game when he really had no business there. some things are just bigger than others.
A Rod and Jeter should start, but let's not push it. They're all still Yankees and we hate Yankees, even if the game is in New York. Halladay or Lee should start. Maybe Ron Guidry can start.
I'm starting to hate the Sox too, so I guess it evens out. If Ichiro weren't a lock, I would boycott the Sox and baseball. Pedroia doesn't deserve the nod over Kinsler.
josh q. public. For the public, by The Public. Irreverent sports opinion from a Bostonian in New York. The one blog to read, when you’re reading more than one. Good to the last drop!
