THE NEW YORK YANKEES, MY TEAM, ARE HEADED TO LONDON to play a two game series against the World Champion Boston Red Sox!! I can’t help but think that this first-ever, historic two game set is a battle of LAST year’s champs and THIS year’s champs-to-be. The high-flying Yanks have won 11 of their last 12, are 7 games in first place in the A.L. East (despite a multitude of injuries) and 9 games ahead of Boston. They have SIX candidates for the All-Star team, have just set a record for most consecutive games with at least one home run, they’ve played the equivalent of a full season (162 games in a row, dating back to 2018) without being shut out and have a guy leading the league in hitting who, if he wins the batting title, with be the first player in MLB history to win a title in BOTH leagues. (And, oh yeah…remember those blogs I wrote calling for manager Aaron Boone to be fired?? Forget it…now that their winning pct. Is .650, the guy’s a GENIUS, Lol!!)
Seriously, with the Yanks flying to England today it makes
me a bit JEALOUS…that is ONE place in the world outside of the U.S. that I
would actually like to visit!! I’m afraid of flying overseas but to go THERE I
would. My favorite Christian writer, J.C. Ryle, was from there. My favorite preacher, Charles Spurgeon, was
as well. My favorite musician, Cat Stevens (now going by his Muslim name, Yusuf
Islam) was born there and The Beatles, and Elton John, were, also. Deana Carter and James Taylor recorded their
first albums there!! And let’s not forget one of my favorite TV shows, “The
Saint”….Simon Templar (Roger Moore) had HIS base in London. I would like to visit London before the Muslims
take over (they have a Muslim mayor
now)…I hope the Yanks have a lot of security!!
MEANWHILE, IN OTHER “ENTERTAINMENT
NEWS”…
As promised in a blog from earlier this month, I did get
Springsteen’s new album and it’s TERRIFIC!! Here’s what I said earlier in
June. My first experience with one of
his albums is a GREAT one!! http://chetitorial.blogspot.com/2019/06/go-western-old-man-springsteens-new.html
In this recent blog, I said we WOULDN’T watch the Dem Presidential
debates but after hearing the “reviews” of LAST night’s escapades, we want to
see the fireworks TONIGHT. Part two
should be entertaining!! http://chetitorial.blogspot.com/2019/06/democratic-debates-will-be-debacle.html
Finally, I am
planning to see the re-release of “Avengers: Endgame” on Monday afternoon (Lord
Willing)!! http://chetitorial.blogspot.com/2019/06/marvels-magnificent-movie-marketing.html
