In anticipation of opening day at Oakland’s McAfee Stadium when our boys DA BRONX BOMBERS meet the A’s, I have been searching the net looking high and low for one of those classic pinstripe Yankee ponchos.

No luck. I have resorted to painting up my own poncho I got at the drugstore for a few ducks. (quack, quack.)

I got brave and tested out my painting skills with a Yankee logo template I constructed out of construction paper and some white acryllic paint.

First off, because the poncho is “water resistant” and acryllic is “water-based” – I don’t need to tell you what happened.

Just one of those days…

The forecast for opening day here in California is for showers – in fact it is raining here right now and I have been nervously pacing around the office and constantly checking the weather at www.weather.com.

Hope the Big Unit can pitch in the rain —I seem to remember that he hates the rain.

You’re going to love this one!
The Oakland Athletics initially told me that for a donation of $75.00 to the Oakland A’s Community Fund, I could run a message on their scoreboard.

I gave the representative my message and money and everything seemed fine.

The Oakland A’s Community Fund is a charitable organization that helps underprivileged children, seniors and those in need.

My message was simply going to be: DA BRONX BOMBERS IS IN DA HOUSE! GO YANKEES!

The Oakland A’s just left me a message that stated that they could not run a YANKEES message and are going to refund my money!

I guess Oakland really hates the Yankees enough that they won’t run a simple GO YANKEES message and accept the much needed $75.00! for a much needed cause.

I am going to figure out a way to donate the money to the RIGHT organization anyway.

CRUEL WORLD!

Yankees Fans – If you are going to be at the Yankees/Oakland game on Monday April 3rd, I have a special message for you on the Oakland A’s scoreboard at the top of the 4th inning – Check It Out!
The weather report is forecasting some showers for both opening day on monday and tuesday, but I’m prepared!

It is going to be awesome to watch some real baseball and I can’t wait!

See Ya At The Game,

Congratulations to Team Nippon for their well deserved WBC win.

CAPTAIN CRUNCH vs COCO’s CRISPIES (aka Cocoa Rice Krispies)

ROUND ONE

With Captain Crunch, you get more crunch for the buck.
With Coco’s Crispies, you just end up with a bunch of soggy rice kernels and some dirty looking milk in the end.

Captain Crunch has his own Cereal label.
Coco’s Crispies are just a bunch of sorry boy band wannabes.

Captain Crunch’s tagline is “The One. The Only. The Original.”
Coco’s Crispies tagline is “They Snap, Crackle and Pop!”

The mascot for Captain Crunch has never changed, it’s always been Captain Crunch.
The mascot for Coco’s Crispies started with Snap Crackle and Pop then switched to a monkey named Coco who wore a blue cap and spoke with an Aussie accent.

Obviously Captain Crunch is a captain.
Coco’s Crispies are a bunch of short earred elves.

To be continued…

Just a quick note to say that I will be coming back shortly.
I have been embarking on a new business venture that has consumed up all of my free time—who says a crazy baseball fan from Salinas, CA can’t start a corporation…

So just enjoy that WBC ball (yeah right!), I should be back in action before the real action begins —in fact I will be at opening day in Oaktown when the Yankees face the Athletics and also the following day as well.

DA CEO,
