Got Milk? You Bet I Do!
As I write this, the first pitch of the Yankees 2009 season is minutes away. How cool is that?
We had Yankees baseball in 2008. Then came 189 days of no “official” Yankees baseball. And, now we have Yankees baseball again in 2009.
It’s the Yankees baseball Oreo cookie. You get the hard and crunchy stuff (from the actual season) that bookends the soft and sugary stuff (that constitutes the offseason). And, whether you elect to digest this cookie as a whole, or separate it out into its distinct sections and attack it that way, it’s all good.
Me? Back in the day when I used to eat Oreos, I liked to dunk them in milk.
Sure, Oreos alone – while full of stuff that’s not very healthy for you – are a tasty treat. But, when you soak them in milk…well…it’s just that much better, at least to me.
So, where’s the milk for me in this Yankees baseball Oreo cookie story? Actually, it’s being able to share Yankees baseball with family, friends and acquaintances. And, that includes the readers of WasWatching.com.
Thanks to you all for being a part of what’s been happening at this blog – and for the good times I hope we can share here, this season. Here we go!







tip of the hat to you kind sir
Very kind words, thanks Steve.
Good post, I agree with your idea.
However, upon reading the words “back in the day” and thinking about the given analogy, all I could think about was this clip from the movie Half Baked:
