Yankee Stadium Opening Day

(gay)

1224 pm: did i really just witness all the pomp and circumstance of a lip syncing john fogerty dancing around in center field with his very gay unplugged baseball bat guitar and the loud backing track of a band that is absolutely nowhere in sight? the least you could do is throw a drum kit out there and a couple of people pretending to do the clapping part of that stupid song. no wonder the rest of creedence clearwater thought he was a pompous ass. there is such a huge cheese ball factor to major league baseball sometimes. not to mention that i am always bothered by lip synced performances... i'm looking at you yo-yo ma and itzhak pearlman at obama's inauguration.... in other opening ceremony news: yogi is still old, and don larsen has turned into quite the dirt thief, evry time i see him he is squatting behind a pitcher's mound scooping dirt into a ziploc baggie, those guys really didn't make enough money in their day.

*** update: and, sadly, john fogerty lip syncing was the only interesting thing to happen all afternoon... yanks throw away a 2-2 game in the seventh and lose to cleveland 10 -2, it is time to put joba back in the pen...(maybe if i keep saying it someday it will come true)
