Coming up on July 1-3 is the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. The Confederates attempt to bring the war to the North was repelled. At a cost of approximately 50,000 casualties. The bloodiest battle of the war. No question a turning point in the ultimate victory for the Union. We owe alot to those who fought and suffered through that terrible event. Enough said. I went to [...]
A golden opportunity for the Yankees to pick up a local prospect goes by the boards. Rob Kaminsky, a pitcher from St. Joseph Regional H.S. in Montvale, NJ will instead take his talents to St. Louis, as the Cards picked him 2 spots after the Yankees passed on him. Oh, did I mention that virtually nobody could hit his 90-plus mph fastball or Dwight Gooden like curve for 3 years? [...]
Today the 113th annual U.S. Open will begin at Merion Golf Course in Pennsylvania. Any golf expert will tell you, that you can’t go wrong in picking one of the big 3 to win the tournament. (Tiger, Phil and Rory). With rain in the forecast all weekend anything is possible and there is no doubt you will see one of the big names fall behind early. I’m going to give [...]
My mother passed away on May 8th, 2013. May she rest in peace. Known in the Monaghan establishment as Mimi. There should be more like her on earth. We miss you Mimi………
Giants Post-Draft Review RD1 #19 Justin Pugh OL Syracuse- Pugh was definitely a low risk selection, and one we have come to expect from Jerry Reese in the first round of the draft. Pugh is a very versatile piece for the Giants, the kind they can move around to any position on the offensive line. David Diehl has had some strong years in blue, but it is clear he cannot [...]
Just enjoy the colors of the Garden State……
Oh, the power the “Fat Man” has over Woody Johnson! Sexy Rexy keeps his job and they trade the best player on the team (actually the best cornerback in the league). Incredible!!!!! Why, because they don’t want to pay him? Mr. Johnson, how about asking the coach who is ripping you off to restructure HIS contract to keep a player who actually puts aside the circus show his coach has created [...]
It was 223 years ago today (April 17th, 1790) that the great Ben Franklin passed away. From diplomat, to scientist, to inventor, this guy had an impact when he was alive and still does today. From the freedoms we enjoy as citizens of this country to the reading glasses we wear, Mr. Franklin contributions should never be underestimated.
Aside from reading the Warren Commission report itself, this book puts the conspiracy theories to rest. It is an incredibly detailed account of the events surrounding the assassination of JFK 50 years ago this November. Mr. Bugliosi took a totally unbiased and legal-minded approach to the topic and dispels the majority of theories surrounding who else was involved. The conclusion that comes out is that it was Oswald. And only [...]
Well, one would have to think Tiger knew what he was doing when he took the illegal drop. I’m not one of the top players in the world and I know that! The right thing to do would have been to disqualify HIMSELF for a terrible lapse in judgment. This is the most prestigious golfing event in the world. The rules committee wasn’t going to do it, so he should [...]
