A Prayer and Some Off-Day Notes

While I am not a Buffalo Bills fan, my thoughts and prayers are with Kevin Everett.

If you have not heard, the Bills tight end suffered a horrible, horrible neck/spine injury in yesterday's game, and may or may not walk again.

Let's hope for a full recovery, Bills fan or not.

Yankees go up to Toronto next, and against Marcum and Burnett, we've got Hughes and Kennedy. Mussina will start our middle game, though I'm not sure who's on the hill for Toronto, except that it's (Thank G-d) not Halladay.

Unlike KC, a sweep would actually be a lot to ask for--a series win, and a 5-1 start to the road trip would be excellent. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for sweep, but Toronto is a +.500 team, and in another division (like the NL Central), they are playoff-caliber. Not 'easy wins' by any stretch of the imagination.

Still, momentum is on the Yankees' side for the moment. A-Rod has been a monster and Yankee pitching has been better than good enough.


However, good karma doesn't last forever: Boston's playing Tampa...


I'm going to make good use of the off day and get some coursework done.
