Why'd they have to go and ruin that perfectly good Prius?

Wait a second...I went to Oberlin!

Do we need to start a group? Or a drum circle?

You guys are 6 games back. I think you need more than hope. Maybe hope and a prayer will work.

But I'm not cocky or overconfident about my Yankees' chances this October. Each of the other AL teams in a playoff spot as of now -- Red Sox, Angels and Tigers -- has beaten the Yankees in the playoffs recently. Should be interesting.

BTW, I love my Yankees. But I've never disliked the Sox. In fact, they're my second favorite team.

Abolitionist Movement, Underground Railroad, first school to admit African Americans and women, world class conservatory and art museum, borrow a Picasso to decorate your dorm room ... a pretty special place.

But I went back there last October for a mini-reunion, and they still don't have decent Chinese food.

I'm surprised to see the number of people reporting damage to their 2010 here. When I filed my claim with Geico, the agent said a few others have also filed claims for the new Prius with her.

Does that appear to be more than normal? I wonder if insurance premiums for the new Prius will start to rise... it is already almost double what I used to pay for my CR-V and Geico excuse for that is that it is a brand new car and you can't compare a new car with a 3-year-old like my CR-V was...

Hmmm. Like a duel citizenship or something? Just be sure when you come to visit you're wearing your second favorite cap!

The Nation is headed to the playoffs - we're already picking our starters.

Uh oh. Yanks won, so the Sox are 6.5 games back. Now you're going to need hope and 2 prayers to catch us.

But no worries. Although it's no sure thing, I think the Yanks and Sox will each win their Division Series and meet each other again in the Championship Series. Should be fun.

It's a promotional thing, as the Toyota Prius is "The Official Hybrid Vehicle of the New York Yankees".

I wanted to have my picture taken by it, but I didn't have a camera on me.

Go Yankees.
