    NJHalo reacted to mancini79 in Mariano Rivera Day   
    Mariano spends about 15 minutes to speak with FANS of the home team. He was also asked to throw out the first pitch when facing the Mets in Citi Field. I find it laughable that fans are getting pissy over a trading card giveaway. They aren't honoring a just a Yankee, but one of the greatest pitchers of our generation.

    I try to do this same trip every other year. We try to time it with the Yanks visit since my wife and younger daughter are Yankees fans. 
     
    Last year we stayed in the Marriott Newport Coast Villas and loved it. We did all the usual suspects, Disneyland, Crystal Cove, etc...
     
    One of the things my gang liked the best was the Warner Brothers VIP studio tour. It is a small, personalized tour. Only my 4 and one other couple. You tour the studios on a golf cart with a guide taking you to what you are interested in seeing. Spent a lot of time there and on the set of Big Bang Theory. Almost crashed into Russell Brand.
     
    You might want to give Fritz another shot. I found it worth the trip.

    NJHalo reacted to Ohtaniland in Should Dipoto go before Scioscia?   
    No one gets fired because they're all responsible. Arte went after the big splashes and they've failed him. Dipoto handled the smaller acquisitions and that failed. Scioscia looks worn out and less interested since Dipoto took the reigns. The players themselves with the exception of Mike Trout failed to match their own hype. This is a shared blame situation and Arte knows it.

    "A married couple from Vernon and their 6-year-old son were inside a Jeep on Saturday afternoon when it veered off the steepest of Mountain Creek's 42 ski trails and flipped over about 20 times while tumbling 500 feet down the mountain, authorities said Monday. ***"

    Interesting story from the guy who witnessed this, then ran up to rescue...he stumbled on a rather large bear just before he got to the jeep!
    "As if getting to the site was not sufficiently challenging, Hayes first had to evade a large bear, near what turned out to be the crash site."
    This guy is bad ass. He witnessed the crash ... started running up a steep slope of boulders, evaded a bear, rescued injured people in jeep. Probably not the day he was planning on having

    I have a hard time feeling bad for billionaires who make bad investments. We can only hope that Arte has learned his lesson and will keep out of making baseball decisions, which he's clearly bad at.

    I can't see anyone taking baseball so seriously that they want to or argue the right to wear a paper bag at games. That's something loser Jets fans do that have no life other than football.

    all teams have their fair share of dumb moves, the rangers just seem to do it more often.
    if not for the CBA letting them off the hook the org would be in pretty rough spots.
    richards will be the next write off.

    NJHalo got a reaction from HaloCory22 in NY Rangers fire John Tortorella   
    As the resident Rangers fan I have to say I am not happy about it, but I understand. I think he lost the team, and was not developing the younger talent on the team.
    I think the final nail in the coffin was Lunquist's remarks yesterday when asked about signing an extension. He did not sound positive, and was talking about the Rangers in past tense. He did everything he could to win, and is getting frustrated by the lack of scoring, thanks to Torts defense first system.
    Tort's system of having everyone block shots wears thin quickly, and it is a challenge to sign free agents that want to score goals, not play goalie without pads. The Rangers have a deep, talented team thanks to Slats smart drafting and some good trades, so the next coach walks into an ideal situation. This is a very highly desirable job, I hope Sather takes his time and makes the right choice.
    Torts was a strange guy, and had a polarizing personality. He was cool one second, and an A-hole the next. The time I met him, he could not have been nicer. He did A LOT to help out after Hurricane Sandy, and did not get the credit he deserved.
    As mentioned before, the Tort's on HBO last year was great TV.

    The opposite has been happening. 
     
    They are able to charge lower prices because they aren't dealing with insurance companies for hours on end, and they don't need extra office employees to handle insurance claims.  They also have more time to spend with patients.
