As a fellow Yankee fan, I'm feeling good about our boys' wildcard chances.

But, do you realize that, as AL Wildcard, they'll have to play the friggin' Angels, opening in Anaheim? Even if they can beat LAA, the games will on too late for us to watch them do it.

Lots of New Yorkers going in late to work during that series!

We fear no team now.........we have "Lucky" the squirrel.

From PAGE 4 !!! of today's Daily News....

“Lucky” the squirrel is 4-for-4. The brazen squirrel has appeared atop the right-field foul pole at Yankee Stadium four times this season, and each time the Bronx Bombers have won.

The bushy-tailed spectator, roosting high above the crowd on his yellow perch, has become such a fan favorite that he got a standing ovation during Tuesday night’s 12-3 win over the Seattle Mariners.

“Let’s hope he doesn’t hibernate and will be around for the playoffs,” said Yankee fan Meghan Cannella, 27, of Manhattan.

Cannella and her sister Katelyn, 21, have season tickets next to the soaring right-field foul pole and first noticed the furry fan on Opening Day in April, when the Yankees beat Tampa Bay, 9-5. They said fans were initially taunting the squirrel to jump.

“If he’s good luck, we don’t want him to jump,” Katelyn said. “We might as well call him Lucky. Whenever he’s around, we win.” Lucky also appeared at the Stadium on June 8, when the Yanks beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-4.

The daring critter showed up in his sky-high seat on Aug. 28 to watch the Yanks beat Boston, 5-3, sparking deafening cheers when he was put on the scoreboard video screen. The next day, the rodent’s antics were featured on NBC’s “Today” show, during which hosts Matt Lauer and Ann Curry called the media darling “cute.” “Probably the fans at Yankee Stadium yelled all kinds of obscenities to it,” Lauer said. “That’s all right, that’s normal.”

Yankee outfielder Johnny Damon said he fed the cuddly creature sunflower seeds before the Boston game and then slugged an upper-deck homer that went right over the squirrel’s head. “From what I hear, he’s been bringing us good luck,” Damon said. “We think it’s the same squirrel. I know they’re roaming around here.”

Bombers first baseman Andy Phillips sounded a little jealous. “The animals get more attention than us,” Phillips said with a chuckle, adding that the Yankees should somehow get Lucky in pinstripes. “It certainly is marketable,” Phillips said.

Lucky didn’t turn up last night, but the Bombers managed to beat the Seattle Mariners, 10-2, anyway. Some Yankee fans have just gone nutty over the adventurous animal.

“That’s Phil Rizzuto up there,” said sheet-metal worker John Allegretti, 46, of Staten Island, referring to the legendary Yankee shortstop and broadcaster who died on Aug. 13. Allegretti’s friend Herman Ramirez, 46, of Old Bridge, N.J., said he has nicknamed the squirrel “Scooter” after Rizzuto.

But David Powell, assistant curator of the Bronx Zoo’s mammal department, said the squirrel probably isn’t even a baseball fan. He said the squirrel is likely more interested in the smorgasbord of leftovers littering the stands. “For now, it’s working for him and helping him prepare for the winter,” Powell said. “This is probably just a transient animal who might move on once it really gets cool.”

Could I get a beer, and bowl of nuts for "Lucky", my new best buddy! :)

[ScoopJohnD]

Hey, I don't mind if no one's dinkin, but the least you could do is buy "Lucky" a bowl of nuts.......jeez. ;)

Happy Friday.....got some two buck chuck and even splurged on a bottle of 4 buck chuck. Here's to everyone.

[ozzie]

Hey Scoop, the nuts are on me mate!

No drinking going on here this sunny Saturday arvo.... it appears I just can't do 763 glasses of cheap crap champagne as well as I used to. Head hurts big time. And what was I thinking with those cocktails!!! Stoopid.

"Lucky" thanks you. You're the best Oz!

Now what's up with this cheap champagne and cocktails. Some sort of celebration going on?

[ScoopJohnD]

And take a lesson from me......."Mr. Willpower". I make it a firm and steadfast rule. 748 glasses of cheap crap champagne is my limit. And there's nothing that can make me go over it!

[ozzie]

Kinda. Our town's big race day... the one with no horses this year. Still a ban on all horse travel here so only 'novelty' races involving people yesterday. Couldn't do horse racing without horses so a bunch of us went out for lunch instead. And drinks. Many, many drinks. Too many drinks.

Hey, maybe Lucky could have participated at the track yesterday!

[ozzie]

Oh, you emailed about the equine virus and you said it was affecting racing but I'm used to U.S. racing. Triple Crown and Breeders Cup are the biggies but otherwise the ponies are a small blip on the U.S. sports radar. I knew the Melbourne Cup was huge but didn't realize how big the rest was. Sorry for my ignorance. Hope things recover, especially for the Cup.

And if they do I'll be more than happy to pick a horse guaranteed to finish fifth. :)

I still have a message on my machine from my oldest brother from the Kentucky Derby. Told him that a horse, Cowtown Cat was a LOCK!! (I liked the name) Finished last out of 20 horses, something like 56 lengths behind. The message is basically 2 minutes of slightly inebrieated mocking and laughter at my horse and me. It's a classic.

Hope things are getting better horsewise.

[ozzie]

Okay Scoop, we'll do a first 4 on the Cup... don't tell your brother!

Call me crazy, but I think he will. And speaking of Ernie Banks, I went to a Mets-Giants game many years ago with an ex. She loved Will Clark. We scalped tickets, not great seats. but they were honoring the Negro Leagues that night, so many of the great players were there, both those from the Negro Leagues and those who would have never gotten the chance to play in the majors if it wasn't for them. Seats weren't great, but a gentlemen sits down in the row in front of us and sure enough it's Ernie Banks. He signed my ticket (which unfortunately I don't have any more) but that doesn't matter. He was just the nicest, accomodating man you'd ever want to meet. It was an honor to meet him and shake his hand. Cause he was from the days when I knew not only the Giants players and stats, but every other great player. I think back and baseball still has a hold on me, but man when I was a kid...wow.

That was great! Who's your team Sissy?

[sophisticated sissy]

er...Seattle.

Haven't been to a game all year. Usually get out for at least two, but not this year. My home team is the Cincinnati Reds, but you know that story!

D'Oh! But I also seem to remember you taunting me when the Angels were kicking our butts, that's why I asked. Of course now that I know you're a Seattle fan, it makes sense for you to root for any team to beat the Yanks since we're battling for the wild card.

Sometimes it takes a while for my brain to work.

[sophisticated sissy]

:)

Mine too, scoop, mine too.

[rosetree]

Ichiro sucks!!!
Just kidding,sissy....just trying to get a rise out of you :p ;)

Yanks again, A- Rod again. Seattle wins....thanks Sissy. 4 games over Detroit for the wild card And it's only 5 1/2 behind Boston with 3 games against those #$%%$ next weekend.

And I know even though they're not first in your heart anymore but......you gotta be watching Giants/Dallas

I figured.....I managed to get out and enjoy a bit of the day today. Love football but it's just too early to get into lump mode. Not that I didn't peek but I wasn't comatose on the couch all day.

Cowboys score again........ugh

Manning intercepted and Dallas scores....it might be a long season for the youngest Manning

I see Amyloves just posted elsewhere.......perhaps she'll grace the bar with her presence for a moment. :)

I think that he is an average QB with very large shoes to fill at home--Archie and Peyton.
What's up with the J-E-T-S fans cheering when Peddington goes out with an injury?????

[grisgris]

Don't forget Cooper, who would have been the best before he got hurt.

Not very classy......boo when they stink but show a little class. From what I read the backup had a great preseason and now all the fans are hot for him to play.

Maybe he feels the pressure from the legacy of the family but I don't sense it coming from Archie or Eli which is a good thing.

Tell me about Cooper, I'm not familiar with him.

[rosetree]

Don't forget Cooper, who would have been the best before he got hurt.

Cooper was a good player, but not a QB, a receiver. He has a congenital spinal defect that led to his leaving football.

Rumor is that, if Connor hadn't had to quit football, Peyton would have gone to Ole Miss, so that he could throw to his brother. That would have been something to see!

Why Seattle????


Sorry for the delay...went out to see the subdudes last night (they were sublime! Played the old ones, the new ones, and the new new ones. Came back for two encores! They played such a great set and the house was going ap*sh*t over them.) & went to a blues fest this afternoon in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Hot & muggy.

Came home, turned on the TV, and watched the last 44 laps of a race in Chicago with my dog. Stupidest finale to a race I've ever seen...the driver who'd been in the lead for the longest time gets to about a 1/4 mile of the checkered flag and...and...runs out of gas???:) OMG...Whadda you gonna do, call AAA?

I liked the Mariners' spring picks and I love Ichiro! They've been on a losing streak recently. One of the worst in baseball history.

Anyway, I seem to have a knack for picking teams who have the ability to just louse things up for the winning teams. (See Cincinnati Reds). The Reds have had a major problem, *cough cough* pitching, that hasn't been addressed for quite a few years. I don't get it.

That was a pretty mean thing I said about Lucky the Squirrel. I mean, we don't even know for sure if he has rabies or not. He's probably just acting weird from all the bright lights and drinking leftover beer spilled by the fans. :)

[ScoopJohnD]

I've been dinking wine all night and now my head's spinning Sissy. Where the hell are you? Seattle or Ohio....or are back visiting in Ohio. Ow, my head.

And "Lucky" is just intoxicated by the glory that that is the Pinstripes and Yankee Stadium. ( how sickening was that line?) ;)

[sophisticated sissy]

:D

No, no... I'm in Ohio. Been here all week! I've never been to a baseball game in Seattle.

Those NY Yankee uniforms are intoxicating. I can certainly understand the effect they would have on a poor, hapless squirrel! Best uni-s in the game. BTW, I think A-Rod is great, too. The new superstars of baseball are fascinating.

I feel kind of bad about being disloyal to the Reds, but it's hard to remain loyal to a team that's in a funk as bad as the one they're in. I just looked at their stats the other night. Too sad! :(

Scoop, I've lived here in Ohio since 1997, this time around. I've lived in a lot of places, but not Seattle.
I lived in the Garden State twice. I was a transplant, but I guess I didn't take root. Still visit, though. Lots of great people there.

Hey, have you ever seen Yogi Berra's house?

Thanks, now I understand. Still curious how you picked Seattle as your team, but I'm from Joisey and root for the SF Giants and 49er's as well as the Yanks so I can't say anything.

No I haven't seen Yogi's house, I should though. Or at least go see a minor league game at Montclair. The stadium is named after him and there's a Yogi Berra museum there. Maybe next year.

Next time I'm planning to go there, I'll let you know ahead of time. We can go on a field trip! Yogi Berra's house wasn't too far from where I lived. Used to pass by all the time, but I never saw him. :)

Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon & their brood lived in Glen Ridge then, too. Used to see them everywhere.

Saxman Kenny Garrett's daughter went to the same pre-K as my daughter. Super nice family. He played a Japanese song for the kids one afternoon.

That Arizona guy who muffed the fumble recovery must be kicking himself!

[Zydekitten]

WOO TO THE HOO!!!! :D

It wasn't pretty, but I'll take the win! :o

Yeah, I think there will be quite a bit of discussion and correction in both locker rooms this next week . . .

[ScoopJohnD]

Jeez nobody's had a dink since that glorious Niners victory, the first step in our unstoppable march to the NFC championship (and maybe further).

How bout some wine?

5-1 Boston over the Yanks.....yuk.

[Montana]

I gotta new drink.
Came up with it myself.
Istanbul Martini
half Rangpur, half Yazi, garnish with jalepeno stuffed olive. shaken and swirled over ice, strained into a cocktail glass.

[ScoopJohnD]

Sounds good........and welcome back M!

MONTANA IN DA HOWSE!! How you been man??

[Amyloves...]

Scoopness...so we went and sat outside a while and when we came back in there was quite the turnaround on your lil Yank game. So I tried to call you at home but it was busy so I assumed you're on here but no luck. I'm sure you're celebrating my friend.

[ScoopJohnD]

I had it on the radio (no cable) and turned it off when it was 7 -2 Sox. 6 runs in the top of the 8th and a final of 8-7 Yanks!

Woo Hoo!

Woo Hoo!

yeah, Scoop we let y'all back into it and you just creamed us in that 8th. Dang near tied the record that your Yanks and my Sox set for the longest nine inning game. A SOX rally would have broken it. It is definitely interesting.

[Montana]

MONTANA IN DA HOWSE!! How you been man??

I'm excellent... and improving!

That's another reason I switched off the radio........until then that friggin game was a BORE. And I love listening to ball games on the radio. Now if Torre can ever stop playing Jason (Iron Glove) Giambi at first I'll be a happy man.

Anywho, let's have a nice bloody to celebrate Scoop.

ya beat me to it. About 6 minutes left in the 3rd. Geaux Tigers.

and yes USC looks good. #@$%$%! And Boston kicked our best pitchers ass today.

And here's where I don't like college football. 1:12 left in the half and I have no confidence Nebraska can move down the field for a score. 2 minute offenses in college ball are sorely lacking.

Rosie my buddies LOVED their MG pumpkins as do I!!! One of them asked if the legend was really true ... I said "ABSOLUTELY!" ;)

Craig's company will be in NOLA for their annual sales meeting this year with some gentle nudging from me ... I'm happy they decided to do it there .... the first choice was Chatanooga:confused: but sad at the same time as I'm stuck here with the kids while they go parading thru The FQ with a brass band lead by Craig Klein ... drats!!!!

But my Niners are 2-0. Escaped by the skin of their teeth, but a W is a W.

Yes I am, but I still can't believe the Saints. Man, saw those highlights again.
Ugh.

Another thing I can't believe. I love Budweiser. It's usually my beer of choice. But I'm watching NE-San Diego and a Bud commercial comes on and even I had to laugh at the slogan..."Budweiser.......open up a world of taste".

[sophisticated sissy]

Cincinnati lost to the Cleveland Browns. Where was the defense? The combined final score was in the triple digits, enough for two or three football games!

[rosetree]

Man, Scoop...that was harder than it should have been...but a win is a win!:D

[ScoopJohnD]

Somebody get me my heart pills. Bases loaded, bottom of the ninth 2 outs, Ortiz up, and Rivera gets him to pop up. Whew! 4-3 Yanks, final.

I'm going to go keel over now. (after i have my beer)

[rosetree]

Sunday? Yes!

Has anything been finalized???
Are you tailgating at the Dome Monday? Have they announced a band lineup? I have to be downtown for a corporate gift proposal, so I'm toying with the idea of dropping in...

[Amyloves...]

All I know regarding Monday is Cowboy Mouth at 5:20. So yes, I'll be down there for that and before. Was thinking of checking out the Dome area and then going to Handsome Willy's to tailgate till CM time if nobody else is playing before. Haven't heard the latest on getting together on Sunday.

I've actually been toying with idea of adopting a cat. But I have to think long and hard since I have a hard enough time taking care of myself. :) I'm more of a dog person but being single and not at home minimum 10 hrs out of the day, that's impossible. But I want to be absoutely sure before a cat comes into the picture. That's not a whim, or a mood aquisition.

I can safely say I haven't considered a cell phone. :)

[ScoopJohnD]

I knew it!

Just get me nice card, I'll be a happy guy.

And hey, you were talking about the ponies before. Has the equine virus scare passed? Are they running again and will the big race happen?

[ozzie]

Not sure Scoop. Think Victoria (home of the Melbourne Cup) was kept pretty clean, but horses from other states won't be able to travel. I saw an article yesterday about overseas horses coming in for the race, but I can't imagine owners taking any chances. I'll check it out before sending you our winning horse tomorrow.

Hi Kitten... all ready for the move? Very excited for ya. Pour a glass for me while you're at it sistah... Friday afternoon and end of the day can't come soon enough.

Scoop... I'll have a bet in the morning (if I can find an appropriately named horse) and send you the details. Hopefully a winner for a bloody change!

Cheers y'all.
Hi, Ozzie! Sorry that I didn't respond earlier - I was occupied with final packing tasks . . .

So, I guess I'm pretty ready and pretty excited!

Here's that glass of white for you, Tan!

The appointment's made for Saturday at 10....and it's a double cause Jenn's coming with me. That brave soul is doing Locks of Love and getting a spanking new cut AND color from a stylist she doesn't know. She said she trusts me. I am some honored! (Not to mention glad to have the company cause we can hold hands like scared lil girlies.)
Y'all seriously ROCK!!! :)

That is indeed a great cause and I just wish I were brave enough (like you guys) to help by cutting off my hair too - but I'm a Scaredy Kitten. :o

Go Kitty!!!! WOO HOO!!!

[Amyloves...]

Go Kitty!!!! WOO HOO!!!

YAY Kitty!! I think I've got your email addy...I'll send you my phone number.

[Amy Winette]

Hi gang! All this wine looks great, sigh . . . ;)

KITTY, you're heading to NOLA today, aren't you?? Wow, so exciting!! You might already be on the road. Too cool!

Scoop, adopt a kitty! Go for it! It's really very low maintenance, litter, food, water and love, that's all they really need (well, some toys and treats too). We have 4 cats and can very easily leave them alone for 4-5 days. Not so with the dog ;)

Amy & Jenn, good for you brave girls, want to see pix of the new dos tomorrow! I don't think I could ever be that brave.

Jealous of you seeing CM this weekend! We'll be going to the drive in (only movies we get here) and an Oktoberfest fundraiser this weekend . . .

[Zydekitten]

Thanks, y'all!!!

Could I have one for the road? We're packing up the car and about to leave - I'll see you NOLA T-heads soon (I hope)!!!

:D

[ozzie]

Oh man Kitty, I never sent you that eee and now I'm home and can't remember which addy is yours again.

Suffice to say I'm jumping with excitement for you and can't wait to hear of all your good luck and good fortune in nola. It's gonna be life changing... I just know it.

So take care on the ride down and don't forget to check your teeth for lippy, and check all your buttons and tags are in the right place. You go girl!

[rosetree]

Thanks, y'all!!!

Safe trip Kitty, keep us updated on your progress if you can...
(it's really happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Whoo-Hoo!!!

[ScoopJohnD]

I too will soon be embarking on a journey. Very shortly Scoop will be leaving his present location and moving to.........

his couch.

I hope I've packed everything. Lets see. Book, pillow, beer, remote.

I think I'm ready. Wish me luck.

[pokerchick66]

Good luck, Scoopy! :p

[mightyradgumbo]

Well, Well, Well if it ain't my favorite alabaman (or is it alabawoman) how are you chipchopchick?

Good luck, Scoopy! :p

Hey Scoop, your Yanks won a shootout eh? Sox just went up in the 9th on the Rays

[ScoopJohnD]

Yeah, another crazy one. But a win is a win.

[mightyradgumbo]

Sox clinch a playoff spot-Magic number for the division is 6-I am pretty sure we will see your Yanks for one more series, Scoop.

[pokerchick66]

Well, Well, Well if it ain't my favorite alabaman (or is it alabawoman) how are you chipchopchick?

Hey boo! Doing good. Enjoying this nice weather. :)

[ScoopJohnD]

Would it be wrong if I had a beer right now?

In case anybody was worried my move to my couch went well. I took one wrong turn and ended up in the kitchen. But i found my way back.

[ScoopJohnD]

Oh, one more thing. Yay LSU for beating that arrogant @#$%%^$ Steve Spurrier. The only thing better than beating him is beating him and running up the score.

Just another reason to love ya, PC! :)

My laugh of the day courtesy of 'King of the Hill'. Hank scalps tickets to the Texas/Nebraska game for the crew so son Bobby will grow to love football. The seats were shall we say........not great.

Bobby: Dad, the birds flying below us are blocking my view of the game.

Oh, I've sat in a few like that in my time.

[sophisticated sissy]

Yay, zydekitten! You're really making like a bakery truck!

When you get to New Orleans, grab a bottle with "hints of forest floor fragrances on the nose, 1953 Studebaker exhaust elements on the tongue and an aftertaste with a grip that turns into lockjaw".... Here's to snobless sipping!

And here's to zydekitten!
Safe travels and happy trails to you!

[rosetree]

[ScoopJohnD]

[rosetree]

Yanks lost today...:(
Who will they face if they go in as the wild card?

[rosetree]

Crap....TD TN

[ScoopJohnD]

Crap....TD TN

$%^&&^!!!! Please don't tell me it was a TD pass and that secondary looks like crap again.........don't tell me that.

Don't know who the Yanks will play as I didn't realize that the Angels and Indians are in a neck and neck battle for best record. So it could be either one of them.

I TOLD you not to tell me that! Damn.....I know it's early in the game but they HAVE to do SOMETHING....ANYTHING about that pass defense.

[rosetree]

Tony Cornheiser ( or whatever his freakin name is)is an ass! He's already talking about the Aint's

[rosetree]

CRAP!!!!
Deuce just limped off :( :( :(

[ScoopJohnD]

Sounds like it's getting worse. Has Cornwhatever shut up yet?

[rosetree]

Bush runs in from the 1

[ScoopJohnD]

WOO HOO!!! I hadn't given up and had my "Saints Score" bottle of Southern Comfort ready for just such an occasion!

Big shot for a TD, little for FG's etc.

[rosetree]

Whew...Halftime...
Defense looks like it's tightening up.
Offense will get going next 1/2....
