Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on as always. It was a great yesterday with the Yanks winning thier season opener 7 - 5. Pettitte was spot on and hopefully they can do the same today as the two team will be back at it again at 1305(1:05pm). I hope everyone has a happy "Hump Day" and takes the time to enjoy a favorite or two or...... :tu

[Stogieman]

Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on. Well, yesterday's Yankees game ended up a loss as the Angels won 5 - 3. Today is the rubber game of the series and hopefully they take it as they have in the first two against Boston and Tampa Bay. Tonight's game has the first pitch being thrown at 1905(7:05pm) by Phil Hughes and hopefully the Bombers back him with the bats again. Today being Thursday, we'll be at Schlesinger's Cigar Bar / Hudson Valley Cigars this evening enjoying primo stogies watchin' the game. If you have the time and your close by, stop in and join the fun. Either way, I hope everyone has a great day and enjoys...... -(P

[Stogieman]

Good day all and yes, the coffee is still on. The Yankees won last night despite a rained shortened game 5 - 1 over the Texas Rangers. The two teams will be back at it at 1305(1:05pm) today with A.J. Burnett on the mound for the Bombers. Anyway, I hope everyone has a super Saturday and enjoys...... :tu

[Stogieman]

Good morning all and yes, the Killer Beans Electric Chair™ Espresso is kickin'. It was good to see the Yankees win another one with A.J. throwing a great game with a final score of 7 - 3. Jeter was 3 for 4 and A-Rod finally got his first homer of the year. After that, I switched it to the Mets vs. Cardinals game which was the FOX game of the week. It was a scoreless game for the first 18 innings and the Mets finally won it 2 - 1 in 20 innings and the game lasted almost 7 hours. Today the Yankees and the Rangers will have one more meeting which will start again at 1305(1:05pm) and today's starter for the Bombers is the veteran Andy Pettitte. Also today we have the NASCAR race from Texas Motor Speedway which is scheduled to start at 1500(3pm) on FOX. Yesterday's Nation Wide Series race got rain delayed yesterday until 2100(9pm) this evening and it looks as if it is still raining there. I'd hate to see both races get rescheduled until tomorrow, but if that's what it will take to race em', so be it. Anyway, I hope everyone has a good day and gets to enjoy a favorite or two or....... :D

[Stogieman]

Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on as always. I don't want to sound like a broken record but the Yankees won again yesterday 5 - 2 and swept this weekend's series against the Rangers.

I wish everyone has a great week and gets to enjoy a few of your favorites through out it....... :tu

Today being Wednesday and 2 days before headin' out to CigarFest, it's definitely time to pick out the cigars for the trip and all. I hope everyone has a happy "Hump Day" and enjoys it as well...... :)

Goodmornin! Hope you all have a great mothers day.

[Stogieman]

Good morning all and yes, the joe is brewin' as always. I see this morning that the Yankees lost to the BoSox last night 9 - 3 so there was no sweep. With Tampa Bay also losing, we're still a half of a game behind 1st place. The Bombers will be back at tonight in Detroit with the first pitch thrown at 1905(7:05pm). Hopefully they will bounce back with a "W" and take the series as well. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great week and enjoys a couple of your best through out it...... :ss

[Stogieman]

Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on as always. Well, the Yankees fell short by a run as they lost to the Tigers 5 - 4. They had the bases loaded in the 8th with no outs and couldn't tie it up at that point. They'll try it again this evening and hopefully the tides turn in the Bombers favor. Anyway, I hope everyone has a good one and enjoys...... :chr

Tonight they'll be in Citi Field (Flushing, NY) taking on the Mets at 1910(7:10pm). Let's hope that they break out of this 3 game losing streak and win a few this weekend. Well, tomorrow is the big day here at West Point with Graduation and the President as the guest speaker.

They will re-start that game this afternoon at 1705(5:05pm) and then start the regulary scheduled game 30 minutes after that or 1910(7:10pm) which ever comes later. Anyway, I hope everyone has a happy "Hump Day" and enjoys........ :)

We have the pleasure Sunday morning of escorting the Color Guard from West Point to present the National Colors at the start of the Pocono 500. It should be a memorable time and I hope that the weather cooperates. Currently there's a slight chance of rain for Sunday and I hope it stays that way. I hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys it as well...... :D

[Stogieman]

Good morning all and yes, the Killer Beans coffee is on. Well, we are taking off shortly for the Poconos and the slight chance of rain has now turned to a chance of rain. Either way, we're going in and hopefully they start the race on time. If it gets rain delayed, I'm off till Wednesday, so we'll go back to the track on Monday and watch it then. On another note, the Yankees lost last night 3 - 2 and now the Rays are only one game behind. The two teams will play again this evening at 1910(7:10pm) and A-Rod is still at 599 homers. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys...... :banger

[Stogieman]

Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on as always. Beth and I are back from the Poconos and we had a great time. We got to walk up and down pit road, drive on the track, see every driver before and after driver introductions and sit in seats right on top of pit wall road. It rained a little bit prior to the race which delayed the start but once the green flag flew, it didn't show again until there was about 25 laps to go. At that time there was a bad accident, so between the clean up and rain delay, we made it to a restaurant right down the road. I see that the Yankees are now tied for 1st place with the Rays as the Bombers lost last night 8 - 6. We are headin' down to the Bronx this afternoon to catch the game this evening as long as the thunder storms hold out. I hope everyone has a great day and enjoys a favorite stogie or tow....... :tu

Sabathia trying for the 3rd time to get his 20th win of the season. It's a 1905(7:05pm) start time so I'll be able to watch it as well. I hope everyone has a great day and enjoys....... :)

They'll be back at it today with Andy Pettitte back in the rotation with a start time of 1335(1:35pm). Also yesterday, Army dominated North Texas with a 24 - 0 win here at West Point. Today, the NASCAR drivers will be starting their engines roughly at 1300(1pm) in Loudon, NH and I hope that everyone there enjoys the race. Also today, we have plenty of football to watch as the NFL is in full swing being that it's week 2 of the 2010 - 2011 season. Anyway, I hope everyone has a super Sunday and gets to enjoy a favorite or two or....... :D

Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on as always. Well, the Yankees lost yesterday in the bottom of the 11th 4 - 3 giving up the sweep over Baltimore. Startin' today, the Bombers have a 4 game series with the Rays down in Tampa Bay. With 2 weeks left in the regular season, this series can break the American League East wide open. Congrats to Clint Bowyer and the entire Richard Childress Racing team for winning yesterday's NASCAR race. Also, congrats to the Eagles and the Jets for winning their football games yesterday. I hope everyone has a great week and has the time to enjoy a few primo sticks throughout it....... -(P

Congrats to Greg Biffle and the entire Jack Roush racing team for winning yesterdays NASCAR race. Football wise, congrats to Beth's NY Jets for dominating the entire game over the Bills. My Eagles didn't fare too well over the Red Skins as Donovan McNabb returned as the QB for Washington and Michael Vick got hurt and was out of the game early in the first half. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great week and gets to enjoy a few of your favorites throughout it....... :tu

[Stogieman]

Good morning everyone and yes, the coffee is kickin'. I see that the Patriots beat up on the Dolphins last night 41 - 14 with the Special Teams doing their thing.

Well, I wanted to say that last night's Yankees come back in the 8th inning from being down 5 - 0 to win it 6 - 5 was a total picture of how the whole year has been. It's amazing what the Bombers did and I hope they keep it up in today's game which starts at 1600(4pm) with Phil Hughes on the mound for New York. Prior to that, Army is taking on Rutgers at the New Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey.

Sports wise, we have the final weekend of NASCAR for the year which will be down in Homestead, FL starting this evening with the truck race.

I watched the 1st quarter at Schlesinger's and just watched the video clips on-line and I'll tell you, Michael Vick is one of the best QB out there right now.

Good morning all and yes, the coffee has been on for a while now. Definitely a wintery Sunday today with flurries predicted and temps reaching 32 degrees as the high. We have a number of NFL games on the TV today and then tomorrow evening it's the Jets versus the Patriots.

Good morning all and yes, the joe is brewin'. Well, Army / Navy week is upon us and it should be a good one. There are numerous activities all week here at West Point to include the annual Goat / Engineer game, Spirit Luncheon, Pep Rally - Bon Fire, ect. The highlight of the week will be the big game of the week next Saturday down in Philadelphia, PA. I have the prestigious honor of escorting the Honorary Captains (3 Army Medal of Honor recipients) to mid-field for the coin toss as well as all that entails. This year's 3 Army Honorary Captains are COL Jack Jacobs, COL Paul Bucha and the newest recipient, SSG Salvatore Giunta. You can read more about the actual award and how each of them received it here:

A great day to be a soldier and kick some Navy butt I say. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great day and enjoys...... :D

[Stogieman]

Good morning all and yes, the joe is brewin' as always. Today they will play the Goat - Engineer game which is a build up to this weekend's Army / Navy Classic. Here is a little info about today's game:

Goat-Engineer game: As part of the run-up to the Navy football game, the Corps of Cadets plays the Goat-Engineer game. First played in 1907, it is a game between the "Goats" (the bottom half of the senior (Firstie) class academically), and the "Engineers" (the top half). The game is played with full pads and helmets using eight-man football rules. The location has changed over the years, with recent venues being Shea Stadium, Michie Stadium, and Daly Field. Legend states that Army will beat Navy if the goats win, and the opposite if the engineers win. In recent years, female cadets have begun playing a flag football contest, so there are now two Goat-Engineer games, played back to back the same night.

Tomorrow, we have the Spirit Luncheon at Ike Hall which is a huge pep rally and then tomorrow evening is the bon-fire / send off of the team. I hope everyone has a great day as well and enjoys a favorite cigar or two....... :banger

[Stogieman]

Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on as always. The Spirit Luncheon and bon-fire is scheduled today as part of the annual build up to the Army / Navy game.

Beth and I will be hittin' the road in the morning in the direction of Philadelphia to enjoy this weekend's festivities. I hope everyone has a good one and enjoys it as well........ :D

Good morning all, we're back from Philly and the coffee is on as always. Well, it was an excellent weekend in Philadelphia as always. It was an experience of a life time being with 6 Medal of Honor recipients at the same time on and off the field.

Congrats to the Navy for winning the game and hopefully next year we get that long earned win. I hope everyone has a great week and enjoys...... :)

[Stogieman]

Good morning all and yes, the coffee has been on now for a good hour. Woke up this morning to a nice dusting of snow outside, so I took out the shovel for the first time this year and made some noise. I'm sure those knuckleheads will be out this morning driving to the City as normal and there will be an accident here and there especially going over the mountain to work. Oh well, it happens every year until folks realize that you have to slow down when the roads get slippery. Anyway, be safe out there and enjoy...... :D

Good morning all and yes, the coffee has been on since 0400 (4am). We conducted West Point's adverse weather conference call and with no doubt, it's a "Code Red" resulting from the current blizzard:

http://www.usma.edu/Weather%20Conditions/

http://www.usma.edu/Weather%20Conditions/SnowPolicy.htm

I'll wait till daylight and then get bundled up to clear the vehicles off and shovel out the walk ways and such. It looks to be a nice day to smoke a stogie in the garage / shed and then check out the other neighbors / relatives if they need help as well. I hope everyone has a good week and enjoys a few of your favorites before the New Year is here....... :tu

[Stogieman]

Good morning all and yes, the coffee has been on now for a good hour. Well, I got the driveway, walks, trail around the house, back patio and trail to the shed all shoveled off yesterday as planned. I'm not sure if it was all the snow or that I'm getting older but it whipped my butt. We got roughly 18" to 20" of the fluffy stuff and the drifts are amazing. I might have to invest in a snow blower at the end of this season when they go on sale as this "Global Warning" thing is a bunch of garbage, LOL. Anyway, there are only 4 days left in 2010, enjoy them with a favorite or two or....... :banger

[Stogieman]

Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on as always. Well, the Eagles lost last night 24 - 14, maybe they should have played it this past Sunday evening during the blizzard. One good thing is that they are definitely locked in for a playoff position by clinching their division. Anyway, I hope everyone has a happy "Hump Day" and enjoys....... :D

Being that today is Thursday, we'll be meeting up at Schlesinger's Cigar Bar / Hudson Valley Cigars for a primo stogie or two and catching up on the world's news. I hope everyone has a good on and enjoys it as well....... http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/5903/coffeedrinkers.gif (http://img402.imageshack.us/i/coffeedrinkers.gif/)
