4:00 in the afternoon takes on a whole different interpretation on the west coast.

In LA the day is winding down and I am preparing for dinner, playing sous chef.

The NY Yankees game is starting unless they are playing on the west coast.

I would perish without the MLB ticket on the YES Network.

If I were in New York City, I would be revving up for cocktails, getting ready for dinner at a fabulous restaurant or out and about town…always a plethora of activities to choose from.

In Los Angeles, I live and breath every single Yankee moment…the games this year represent my life, highs and lows, good games that feel as if I have hit a walk off home run, days that I go down swinging.

Jacoby Ellsbury is back in the line up. Ridiculous as it appears for a baseball player, he went on IR simply swinging the bat in May against the Washington Nationals.

Now we have our 1,2 punch back in the line with Ellsbury hitting lead off and Brett Gardner in the 2 hole.

How Gardy wasn’t selected to the All-Star game is beyond me…no accounting for good taste. Gardy is having an amazingly productive season.

The Yankees have launched a campaign to secure the final spot on the 2015 All-Star team for Gardner…the significance is he is bald and the team has initiated a heady campaign…#VoteGardy #FinalVote.

I voted 250 times and now I am on IR with a dislocated index finger.

Sacrificing my body for my team…No worries, I can still prepare meals and point my other finger in disapproval at those that piss me off.

In particular, I am pointing out Giant standout defensive end, Jason Pierre Paul, who had his right index finger amputated on Wednesday after a July 4th fireworks incident.

Pointedly stupid.

Breaking News…Brett Gardner just selected to 2015 All-Star game. Using your head does work!
