These are actually from two weeks ago, so he's less tiny now, but it's been tough to find the time to post. 4 weeks today. Can't quite believe it. You people weren't kidding when you said it goes by fast...
NEW YORK: The New York Yankees woke up just in time to save their season and their manager's job as they beat Cleveland 8-4 on Sunday to keep the American League division series alive.
Johnny Damon lofted a go-ahead, three-run homer in the fifth inning.......
NEW YORK: Everything changes. Things fall apart. Summer does not last forever, though it seemed that way last night at Yankee Stadium. It was 87 degrees at game time, one last day of warmth, perhaps, for Joe Torre.
For 12 seasons, there was sunshine on his shoulders. But now there is darkness, and the condemned old ballpark is shuttered again for the winter. The Yankees are a first-round playoff casualty for the third October in a row, and Torre will almost certainly lose his job as manager.
The Cleveland Indians eliminated the Yankees, 6-4, in Game 4 of their American League division series, advancing to the championship series against the Boston Red Sox. George Steinbrenner, the Yankees' principal owner, who had tied Torre's future to the outcome of this series, was said to be fuming in his office and left without taking questions, ushered away by his daughter.
Our friends have a saying for those who are trying to get pregnant: they've "pulled the goalie." An excellently evocative hockey term. Of course, we never really so much "pulled" the goalie as he just kind of wandered away from the net. Either way, the result was the same, and we suddenly found ourselves seeking an in utero handle for our gestating offspring. The easy choice was Puck. A name that has a nifty built-in Shakesperean double entendre. The photo above is from outside the Folger Shakespeare Library which I pass every day on my walk to and from work. And yes, the one in the silver is Puck.
