October Update from the Bambino

YANKEES: Well another season ends in disappointment, but it could be worse; I could be a Mets fan. The Yanks scratched and clawed their way back to the playoffs after being left for dead in May with A-Rod leading the way only to lose to the Indians in the ALDS in 4 games. They were outpitched, plain and simple. Now it looks as if Joe Torre wore the Pinstripes for the last time after 12 successful seasons at the helm. More on that in another post.

FOOTBALL GIANTS: After dropping the first two games of the season (getting killed both times by the Cowboys and Packers), Big Blue has reeled off four wins in a row against the Redskins, Eagles, Jets, and Falcons to pull within one game of the Cowboys in the NFC East. Defense is leading the way. They got a pretty easy one with the 49'ers coming up at Giants Stadium this Sunday. I will be watching that one.

RANGERS: Slow start for the Blueshirts as they begin the season 2-4. They just lost 5-3 to the Thrashers (at one point it was 3-0 Atlanta). They need to get it together or it may get ugly early. Lots of hockey to play though.

FORMULA ONE: Can you believe that the Driver's World Championship is going down to the wire? 7 points separate points leader and Rookie Phenom Lewis Hamilton (107), defending Champ Fernando Alonso (103), and Ferrari Ace Kimi Raikkonen (100) with the Brazilian GP upcoming this weekend. My Oh My, the qualifying and subsequent Grand Prix should be one for the ages. Can't wait. My Rosso Scuderia blood has to go with Kimi.

IRAQ: The "Drive By Media" hasn't been reporting much on it, so things must be going well over there. Our military is the finest in the world, and when allowed to do their job (which is to kill bad guys and destroy things), no one can hold a candle to them. And for those leftist loons that want us out; guess what? We haven't left Germany or Japan, so we will always have bases in Iraq. Deal with it.

ELECTION 2008: Dems are such pansie wastes and emasculated dolts. Out of the DNC candidates, Mrs Bill Clinton has more balls than all the male candidates combined. I mean, look at the Breck Girl. You want him making executive decisions with our fate on the line? NOT! The GOP also has some issues with Rudy and Romney going at it pretty good. Still, I trust the Republicans to protect me more than the socialist nannies in the Jack Ass party.
