G'day Everyone.
Controversy has erupted this morning as last night's crowd in Yankee Stadium took up the infamous chant "Who's your daddy now?" on Phillies Pitcher Pedro Martinez. It had a dramatic effect on the teams as the NY Yankees road on the crowd chant to a 3-1 win. But while it happened, the people responsible for the stadium tried their best to drown out the offending chant. Unfortunately, the damage was already done. The Yankees even the series with the Phillies. The next 2 games are in Philadelphia and the series will resume on Saturday evening that promises to be to be a Philadelphia Stadium house of horrors for the Yankees as the phillies fans will be very angry with the NY crowd for their chants. Expect it to be a spooky night as a near full moon happens that night.
If the series shifts back to Yankee Stadium later, will the "Who's your daddy now?" chant be banned? One should hope so. Pitcher Pedro Martinez should be respected. But shouldn't be razzed to the point where he can't do his job right. If it happens again, Yankee stadium staff should be held responsible to remove and eject the thousands of fans, who do the offending chant, so that baseball can be played taunt free. Players deserve a enjoyable atmosphere. But they shouldn't be faced with an overwhelming hostile crowd every inning as Pedro Martinez was. One bad acting fan ruins the entire game for everyone, including the teams.
And if I was to manage Phillies, I'd put Cliff Lee and many other BETTER productive pitchers back in the line up and attack the Yankees again. It was a risky move for Phillies to use Martinez and yet, he was masterful as he could be.
As the HORROR weekend comes up, Penn State is playing at Northwestern University at 4:30pm , Saturday. It will be on ESPN.
The Gallaudet University Bisons will be at Anna Maria (Mass) for a road trip football game. The Bisons *MUST WIN* there and then head to Maritime (NY) and *MUST WIN* there if they want to host the Championship game. SO GO WIN BISONS!
SUNDAY will be a BIG day. Just before World Series game 4 happens that night, there's a major Football event. The Philadelphia Eagles will host the NY Giants. It's expected to be a Battle for the NFC lead. Game happens at 1pm in Philly stadium. I would hope if the Eagles defeats the Giants, it may take the victory sails right out of the Yankees! Go Eagles!
As it is Halloween weekend, I ask my readers to be safe and not to drink and drive. Police will be on the road and looking for drunk drivers to arrest. Parents, please take great care of your kids!
Enjoy the weekend!
Semper FI!
Update: If there was an incentive for the Phildelphia Phillies to trade Pedro Martinez after the season is over, they just got it:

I would encourage every phillies fan to bombard the Phildelphia Phillies starting now till the end of the series that they should RELEASE Pedro Martinez for his comment. Encourage them to add a clause in their release: He can't play for the yankees.

Hey moran...it's too bad that you were wrong about Gallaudet...again.
While you were shocked that Dr.Hurwith was chosen...it was no surprise to those of us that did our research... I asked alot of questions, etc.etc.
Like a REAL Sherlock is suppose to do....I got the answers. And I predicted that Dr. Hurwith was going to be chosen.
When are you ever going to act like a real Sherlock?!
Signed,
One of your enemies.
You know, if you read the following link:

There is apart that says in the
article Pedro Martinez's 2004 quote, after pitching for the Red Sox and losing to the Yankees, "I just tip my hat and call the Yankees my daddy."
Even through it was rude for the
fan to post that banner, they were
simply remind him of what he said
in 2004. Even if the game heads
back to Yankees, I do agree that
banner should be banned. I won't
be surprise if I see it in Phillies
home games as a revenge. I had
wish the usher at Yankees had
prevent it from being display in
game 2. But the fans had their rights as a part of Freedom of
Speech. How sad that wasn't a
clean thing that the fan did. That
is lack of respect for bringing
up the Past. Nobody wants to
remember some things in the past.
Dear dumbass: You know, I know who you are and guess what, you will get picked up soon. If you read the warning before you posted, YOUR IP WOULD BE TRACKED.
Second, while I had hopes that Rosen would be chosen, I was NOT surprised that Dr. Hurwitz was selected. I personally meet Dr. Hurwitz and I could tell that it was very possible he was going to get slected. So why did I not run with that? That would not be possible. In the end, Hurwitz may be selected, but the questions remains. Just how ethical does a college steal a leader from it's rival competition? Think about that. Lastly, the next time you call someone a moron, just be aware that God's watching you.
