Best Thing I've Overheard In NYC In Ages
Walked by a guy and girl, both very hipsterish (I wish I could describe them any other way, but if you saw them, you’d begrudgingly agree) in their mid-20’s earlier today, on Flatbush Ave in Brooklyn (not a terribly hipster-ish hood), and I over this convo, verbatim:
GIRL - When does skeeball league start?
GUY - Wednesday. I don’t know if I’m gona do it. I’ve been smoking a lot of cigarettes lately. I’m so out of shape.
I don’t think I need to tell you how much is wrong / obnoxious / douchy / awful / fantastic about this overheard piece of modern day young NYC dialogue. And no, nobody was playing a soundbyte from “Girls” on their iPhone for the sidewalk to hear. I just…well, I couldn’t help but share. Because there’s a chance you might get a call to join a skeeball league soon. And I’m hoping your athletic prowess is up to snuff, and that you can compete accordingly, in a SKEEBALL LEAGUE, because thankfully a fellow young athlete knows he might not be up to par. Or whatever par is in friggin’ skeeball.
God help us all.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - February 26, 2013
Wanna know how & why Paul Sullivan, aka “Sully”, aka “Sully Baseball”, and I came about the nickname “The Deli Flowers” for the 2013 Red Sox, and why it’s so perfect? Wanna know what late 80’s Red Sox taunt I was cheering during the end of the Oscar telecast Sunday night? Wanna know how two grown men obsessed with movies, baseball and the sound of their own voice chose to spend a Monday night in late February? Then tune in to Part 1 of this edition of The Sully Baseball Podcast. We actually yapped for so long that Sully chose to break this up into 2 podcasts. You know, like how Bill Simmons does on his “BS Report” for ESPn. Well, this si the same thing. Just with less technology or sponsorship. Hey, I thought I was doing him a favor, beng a yammerstein, giving him a second podcast for the price of one. And that’s what you get any time you invite me on your podcast - so much yip-yap that if you’re feeling lazy or pressed for time you’ll probably get a second podcast out of it! I think this is how Peter Jackson came to make “The Hobbit” into not one but three movies. People just got talking about the Red Sox and Ben Affleck and fatherhood and, well…what an unexpected journey, indeed.
