Just saw an ad.  EPSN is doing a mini series on the Bronx Zoo era Yankees.

John Turturro as Billy Martin.   I shit you not.

I\'m not gonna wax poetic about some show which revolves around the team I hate. So I\'ll just say, if you\'re a fan of the history of baseball, this show is must watch. Otherwise, it\'s decent, sort of a guilty pleasure for me.

Fun show to watch even if it\'s about those damn Yanks.

Yea, I\'ve been watching it. I didn\'t realise all that happened in the same summer with son of sam and the blackout and all. It\'s low budget in parts but done really good.


just wish it wasn\'t about the yankees.

Then it wouldn\'t exist. Love them or hate them, the Yankees are one of the most tradition rich sports teams. Baseball would be a farm game without them.

Soccer is a communist sport. Besides, we are talking about baseball and what the Yankees did for baseball.

Real Madrid have been European Champions a record 9 times and have also won 30 La Liga titles.
