I cannot believe this was a decade ago. Also agreed, what a night. We will never see another like her again. And boy, could we stand to…

There’s so much more to accomplish, especially after the bitter end of last season, but after 25 years of futility, I have to reprogram my brain to fully appreciate & savor moments like this. Back2back Big East titles, a HOF coach who made it happen, and a cap’n in Zuby who’s the ❤️ of #sjubb 🔴🌩️

Exactly this. There was a time, so long ago now there’s probably plenty of younger NYers who don’t know, that NYDN was only legacy outlet doing what needed to be done to raise red flags. Then the chickenshits in charge said umm maybe dont do that ppl might get mad so here we are. Devastating day.

Along with a random Met, Yankee & the GOAT, without whom no list is complete, here are “some guys” who have had rules created for them in my 17+yr fantasy league. From the Mark Appel Conundrum/ Odrisamer Despaigne Dilemma/Leonys Martin Corollary, to getting Jeff Mathis’d (IYKYK), my league rules!

25 years ago today, I went to Italy for the first time. I felt very Irish until I arrived at the homeland of the other side of my family. What a ride since…

Back at the other place, I started using #PulitzerforBramhall on every post I put up of his clearly award-worthy work. Started that after we made this one a front page. (And I have the original printout of it on my home office wall!) He's so earned it, as was the case here as well.

Thanks to all my frens for a tremendous weekend at #ACPT! Congrats to Paolo & all the winners — really everyone who competed. It was my 1st time ever successfully completing a Puzzle 5, & I’ll hang my hat on that, since tourney perfection was thwarted in P7 bc this I should have been an O. D’oh!

Back from a rough go in Prov, & toasting a team that made me believe again w/ a Red Storm Negroni (I just made that up). I’m devasted. Mainly for players. They deserved a longer road. But they gave this program & city a helluva fun ride. Thank u for all of it. Raise that BE banner high. #sjubb 🔴⛈️

After all the emotions poured into this day and this unreal season, this is the moment… turning around to take one last shot as they finally ask us to leave… and they flash THAT up on the scoreboard and… absolute dagger. That’s a moment I’ll remember forever. I’m so happy. Finally. #sjubb

I have done something very weird in life to have so many friends & family reach out & tell me I was the first person they thought of after this loss. Rickey was 1 of a kind. Li’l Richie adored him - mimicked my batting stance, wore 24 - all of it. RIP GOAT Here’s my entry from “One Lucky Fan”:

Well who knew it would take 43 years, but the World Series has finally come back to the first page of my book … and I get to wholeheartedly hate the Dodgers AGAIN.
A book page talks about the 1981 World Series.

Something like the past 17 years (not counting ‘20 obv… and about 7 more yrs I wasn’t here before that) I’ve made this short but brutal walk down 32nd St at varying levels of the stages of grief after yet another #sjubb Thursday BET loss. Holy crap. We finally did it y’all. 🔴⛈️

Happy 30 to this thoroughly bizarre &, for me, engrossing album, that, for some reason, I still listen to in April every year. It’s not for everyone, but it is for me. To wit, I played “Mmm…” for @EricaForNY & she burst out laughing. Couldnt believe it was Top 5 song! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nice to be with someone like @jessespector who didn’t miss a nanosecond’s beat to follow my “check out superfan number 99 over here” reference with an “im gonna make his head bleed” reference — not violently! Just doing a little “Swingers” nostalgia bit. dir.lat/L5vRPp

I feel like the Amazon Prime description of Die Hard is some kind of meme to “make a movie boring with a nonrestrictive clause.”
