It took innings upon innings… 13 to be exact…for the Yankees to finally WIN a ball game. I felt pretty confident that Halladay was goin to throw a great game…and he did.

Funny, awhile back the newspapers were rippin’ on A-Rod for supposedly having a fling with Madonna cause she was 50…I just turned 51 in May…and I’m damned proud of the shape this gal has kept herself in. She is a VERY beautiful woman at 50…Happy 50th today Madonna!
