The running theme for the day is "Bouncing Back". The title seems appropriate for a number of reasons. For starters, thanks to the continued support of the loyal readers of the blog, THIRD and LONG has regained the lead in the voting for "AOL's Best Sports Bar in NYC" (over ESPN Zone). The tally now stands as follows (as of 5am today):
THIRD and LONG (34%)
ESPN ZONE (32%)
40/40 CLUB (15%)
With three days of voting left, anything can happen- so keep voting and push us over the top!!! Just click on the logo AOL logo (over to the right---->) and make the improbable happen!
Back to the theme of the day, "Bouncing Back" also applies to MUG NIGHT MONDAYS, as we got a better-than expected crowd for a post-holiday weekend. Normally after a long holiday weekend, we get the post-holiday blues for the next few days as everyone tries to recover from partying hard and spending lots of cash. I guess folks dug in-between the sofa pillows for extra change to pay for a few mugs of cold ones, because we had a pretty good night.
And "Bouncing Back" applies again, this time to today's weather as the oppressive heatwave returns to our fair city. Though my favorite weather girl, HEIDI JONES keeps predicting thunderstorms for today, it's a safe bet that it won't break the heatwave that's expected to top out in the 90's. Of course, that means pray that the AC handles the workload. We just got it tuned up last week so we should be okay, but you never know....Just be prepared because it's going to be a scorcher today.
On a sad note, I am disheartened to say that things are bad in the land of AMERICA'S TEAM, the Cleveland Indians. Due to injuries to key players, underachieving performers and the lot, my favorite baseball team has in effect, raised the white flag on the season. This was "unofficially" signaled by the sale of their top pitcher and reigning Cy Young pitcher, C.C. SABATHIA to Milwaukee for a group of top prospects and a bag of baseballs. To make matters worse, AMERICA'S TEAM, who was one win away from going to the World Series last year, is mired in last place in the A.L. Central. Unheard of. Makes me sick to my stomach to even think about.

I hope Sabathia works out for us. We'll find out tonight, his first start. Thanks for the pitcher and we hope you enjoy your bag of balls!

Hey buddy, I just voted twice today for ya (two different computers). I think I should get some kind of prize for that, like maybe a beer for a buck on a Monday or something. Not asking for too much.
