Yankee Magic

I have to salute the Yankees for creating a culture of winning and expectation. Even though there were times in the teams history where they were not so good, they have won more championships that any teams in Major League history.  Even when they lose many of their major superstars, they still figure out how to do just enough to win the game.
   They are without Jeter, Arod, Granderson. They are missing major pieces in their lineup and still they compete!

Star Trek Thoughts

When I was about 8 years old, I became fascinated by the Star Trek Tv Show. I really enjoyed how the crew of the Enterprise worked together to get out of most trials and tribulations. I thought What a Fantastick Idea Space Travel to Different planets and battling adversaries at the same time. 
   I was particullarly intrigued by Mr. Spock's Character. I admired his hard side and was deeply touched by his soft side.  I was amazed at his extremely tough strong body, and at the same time his attempt at achieving understanding where it came to his relationship with Captain Kirk.  I prided myself on being an old series Trivia Expert! Several people have asked me to do Star Trek or Spaceship paintings! I Might, but What do you think?

Chess comments and Question!

A grandmaster once told me that when a chess player reaches the level of 1800 he stops leaving pieces unprotected. The same grandmaster said that all that seperates an 1800 player from a 1500 player are the level of tactics and abiltiy to see patterns.

Rangers Lack Scoring Power against Bruins!

The NY Rangers are already down 2 games in the semi's to the Boston Bruins!  They are not a strong enough offensive scoring team to get past the Bruins. They don't have enough offensive power to win the Stanley Cup this year. Still, I hope for some respectability against the Bruins!

Knicks are finally eliminated but congratulations for an exciting year!

The knicks were final defeated by the Indiana Pacers in 6 games. After considering this for a while, I feel that the season was a success.  Carmelo Anthony had  a very good season. I believe the Knicks were only one more solid scorer from going deeper into the playoffs. Anyway, no one is going to beast the Miami Heat this year. I will give credit to Mr. Hibbard for very good performances against the knicks.

Knicks Jeckle or Hyde!

The knicks should make up their mind and decide whether they want to play as a team like they did in Game 2 of the Pacer Series or Game one where they don't come out to play at all and can't hit the broad side of the barn.
