Yankees Daily

Correction: Peter Abraham likes the Atlanta Braves and not the Boston Red Sox like I posted. So the whole post about him liking the Red Sox is not true. He liked the Braves as a kid.

The Boston Red Sox will be getting the best blogger in the business. I look forward to reading Pete’s work with the Red Sox.

Would you still have liked Peter Abraham, the beat writer for the Journal News if you knew he was a Red Sox fan? I knew he was a Red Sox fan. The writing was on the wall. He likes the New England Patriots and he used to go to school in the Boston area.

Would you still of went to his blog if you knew he liked the Red Sox? I still did. He gave or gives great info. Most Red Sox fans hate Alex Rodriguez and you can tell he doesn’t like A-Rod.

I don’t like A-Rod either but I’m a Yankee fan. I still “have” to root for him when we are in the playoffs because he’s on the New York Yankees.

I bet most people would of still went to Pete’s blog if they knew he was a Red Sox fan. They probably wouldn’t of been able to help themselves. He probably would of had a lot more trouble makers. You have to give him credit for giving Yankee news and being a Red Sox fan. That’s hard to do.

Correction: Pete likes the Atlanta Braves. He doesn’t like the Boston Red Sox.

I spent a lot of time on twitter talking nonsense and went to facebook but the talk there wasn’t nonsense. Still, I didn’t have all that of an unproductive morning. I’ll be starting a radio show on Thursday September 10th. It should be interesting, knowing me. I’m going to have three other people with me on the show. The thing I like about it is that it’s going to be spontaneous and we’re going to cover a lot of topics. I like it because even I don’t know what I’m going to say when I open my mouth.

At first, I can’t have popular guests on because I have to get the show popular first. My friend Greg is going to be the main host with me and the other two people I know will be in and out of the show talking about their expertise. I’m not going to say more about it because I want to surprise people.

I leave tomorrow for vacation because I’m going on a cruise. I know some take my minor league box scores and post them other places. I might log in from the cruise just to do the minor league scores. I’ll see what kind of service they offer. I’m going on a cruise to Canada. I’m not sure I want to go but the more I think about all the food on board, the more I want to.

I’ll be leaving Saturday the 4rth to Thursday the 9th. I know how much this blog means to some people and how much it affects your life and how it’s your religion but your god will be back with pictures and video.
