We'll see what we see when we see it Peter. Girardi sort of weasled around that last answer.

Joba is playing with the corners tonight and, admittedly, not getting some calls. He's also obviously missing his spots and, as a result, flirting with big problems. I would LOVE to be wrong about this as great starters are much harder to come by than decent bullpen arms - all I know is what I see. C'mon Joba, make me out my words.

And Posada steals a base ??? First Molina lays down a bunt, then slams one and now Posada steals second. Whew !!!

Oops, "eat" my words.

Mitchell- How did I know you would be the first one to comment on that post ;-) You've got the "under" and I have the "over" either way, I hope we meet up at a parade this October/November.

Guess you could say I'm a little 'over focused' on the Joba question. LOL

He's got a 6 run cushion now, let's see if he calms down enuf to throw strikes - esp. first pitch strikes.

And yeah, that parade would be really sweet !!

See you there, I will be wearing a Yankee hat on the corner of Wall and Broadway ;-)

You got it !!!

Backup plan!

I'm just suggesting you guys get a backup plan to meet...just in case there ain't no parade down broadway...maybe share a roast beef sandwich at the Carnegie...

Good thinking BL.

Mitchell- I will meet you at Congress and State, there won't be a parade there either.

BL? Getting roast beef at the Carnegie is like ordering fish at Peter Luger's ;-)

Sounds like a plan Peter !

ok, help me out Mitchell, what would you order?

Peter - just be careful down at Congress and State, you may run into any number of parades there, what with the Bruins likely the favorite to meet the Wings in the finals and with the Sox and Patriots in the hunt. Too bad KG had to go down, guess all 4 running for titles would be too greedy.

At Carnegie? First cut corned beef, seedless rye, light on the mustard and a Dr. Brown's soda - CelRay if they can still get it. Full sour, not half sour pickle, maybe some cole slaw. Or maybe pastrami if the corned beef looks a little dry. If we're meeting in Boston to celebrate the Giants crushing the Pats? Then I'd suggest Legal's as Bahstonians can't comprehend a deli.

They still have Cel-Ray and I would ditto that order, but with more mustard and a half sour. It's funny how you mention all 4 teams winning titles BL. I remember living in Boston and the town being so desperate for a parade that they had one when Bourque won the Cup- with Colorado!

You guys made me nostalgic with all this food talk. I think I might have an egg cream today.

ok, I buy into it if you go with the Pastrami, I've had that at carnegie.

As for Legal, please, can do so much better than that, although a Legal opened here in Atlanta and it is the best I can get down here...bucket of steamers followed by the lobster roll with coleslaw and fries.

Peter - I was going to try to make an analogy to Patrick Ewing, as a NY player that never won anything, but I don't honestly think he was as beloved in NY as Bourque was in Boston. Bourque was Yaz, Bourque was Bird (without the titles). It was over the top but clearly the franchise gave him that chance to get a title out of respect.

OK, then the No Name (that still down there? it's been a while for me) or we can meet in the North End for great veal.

now you are talking, yes noname is still there, down by the Seaport Hotel. I went there a couple years ago, seems to have changed a bit though or my perception changed. I remember as a kid the servings were GIGANTIC mounds of fried everything. Couple years ago it was just big servings. Of course I am bigger now too.

The North End, now you have my attention.

The funny thing about the North End is that I always know which restaurant I go to, how to get there, sneaky places to park - but I *never* remember the darn name of the place !?!

And Ewing was always considered the "great so what" when I lived/worked in NYC. Patrick and the Knicks were like the Mets - perpetual disappointments.

the one place I prefer above all others in the North End is the same for me, I have no idea what it is called, have to ask my friends that still live in the area if I need to know the name to give someone.

North End is The Daily Catch for me. Hole in the wall, family style, but oh the pastas and seafood. There is also a place on Hanover I believe which I can't remember the name of. Sadly, with 93 now underground, I would probably get lost.

Ewing wasn't loved in NYC and I think it was because when he was in college he went to Georgetown and they used to have wars with St. John's and Chris Mullin. Mullin would be the guy BL, he was beloved in New York and even now people get very excited to hear he might be joining the Knicks front office.

gotta love a lefty shot with a buzz cut his whole life
