Ok, so now I’m regretting not tossing my tenants’ copy of the voting guide. That RTH guy might be onto something (ssshhhhh!).
Meanwhile, it’s gonna take a lot for the Knicks to win back my heart. Isaiah managing and coaching the team and making one stupid trade after another and pretending he had a plan was bad enough. But how could any self-respecting corporation of that magnitude doing business in NYC botch its legal affairs so badly? Any coach who called a play as wrongheaded as letting the Anucha Brown Sanders case go to trial without settlement would be fired before the first post-game interview and fined to boot. That bad is on ownership. And as for salary cap management, couldn’t they find a decent accountant in NY? I’ve lost so much respect for what’s left of that franchise. Going to a 12-step meeting and saying “Hi, I’m NYK and I’ve been Isaiah free for 14 months” ain’t enough for me. It’s gonna take a while.
1. Do you smarty folks think that price of oil will go over 100 bucks a barrel this winter? I want to hear opinions since winter seems like its going to be a cold one and our co-op is spending shit load on heating costs.
2. Are prices in BK Home Depot and Manhattan HD same for basic items such as masks, nails, electrical testers, wiring and such? I work half a block from 23rd street HD and if it’s more expensive, I’ll just to a BK one.
brown, while I may not like things about it, I understand the game. Players can be pulled out and replaced with other players for various reasons (back in the day there were never even relief pitchers). The manager is taking a calculated risk with a pinch-runner, since the original player, once pulled, cannot come back in the game. If a pinch-runner is inserted for a good hitter like Matsui, Matsui is out for the duration. So if somehow the other team ties the game, the mamager has the services of a light-hitting pinchrunner instead of Matsui. Part of the chessboard strategy that goes on in any sport, and particularly baseball.
“The Yankees bore me, and I was a big fan growing up. Anytime they need someone, they just write a ten million dollar check. Or fifty million. You turn on the TV, don’t even recognize half the players from one day to the next. Between steroids, luxury boxes, cable charges, it all makes me just yawn.”
“If you can’t do everything that the sport you’re in demands, and getting paid millions of dollars doing, then why bother?!?!?”
It’s a good thing that only about, oh, 50 million people disagree with you guys. Does the phrase NATIONAL PASTTIME ring a bell? Derek Jeter would slap you losers silly if he EVER heard you utter such inane, ridiculous comments! GO YANKS!
“The guy from RTH(rent to high) was right on message. When asked what he could offer NYrs, he just said “rent to damn high”.”
I signed his petition once back in like 05 or 06 when I saw him outside the junction on Nostrand and Flatbush. He had a bullhorn and was yelling, “Rent is too damn high!” as he sat behind a card table. Seems like a broad-based issue people could really rally behind! If I were a candidate, I would steal that message.

2 serious questions….
1. Do you smarty folks think that price of oil will go over 100 bucks a barrel this winter? I want to hear opinions since winter seems like its going to be a cold one and our co-op is spending shit load on heating costs.
2. Are prices in BK Home Depot and Manhattan HD same for basic items such as masks, nails, electrical testers, wiring and such? I work half a block from 23rd street HD and if it’s more expensive, I’ll just to a BK one.
I also sorta called it – Giants stunk it up. Saints are by far the best team in the NFL
ENY, what happened to Bernie Williams?

That’s nice, Bxgrl. But if he wins, your rent is not going down. Here MY rallying call: “Fuel oil too damn high”.
GO PHILLIES!
