A Cheesesteak in Nu Yawk

These two articles from the NYTimes have made me giggle. Not only does Yankee Stadium offer Cheesesteaks but that is probably what Cliff Lee and C.C. Sabathia ate for dinner so many months ago. Game 1 was incredible so we shall see how da Phils do in Game 2.

Two gastroenterologists discuss the finer points of mayonaisse and its’ relation to the Cheesesteak and the anti-aesthetic of said sammy:

Oh and did you know there was a concession stand that sold Cheesesteaks in New Yankee Stadium?:)

Harry Kalas R.I.P

Harry Kalas passed away today.  I remember having a little radio by my bed and listening to him call Phillies games while drifting off to Slumberland. This is a real shame. One of the best.  If there is a public viewing I am definitely going to it.

Playoffs…

Today my beloved Phillies take the mound in the NLDS at Citizen’s Bank Park. Here is hoping that they can make it to the Series this year, or at least win one playoff game. I’ve been following them pretty closely this year, made it to 10 games, and still the bane of my childhood-1993 Joe Carter, you remember-haunts me. I learned from www.philliesnation.com that Mitch Williams of all people will be tossing the first pitch today. So much for shucking off the past.

But the team genuinely looks excellent this year, just that the starting rotation is unbalanced a little. Anyways I could be Dancing in the Streets come the end of October.

All right that last one is egregious but fun none the less, I heard this rumor about Bowie and Jagger…

More about the Phils later.
