citiwok

A published report early Saturday said the Mets have struck a naming-rights deal with Citigroup for their new stadium.

Newsday, citing anonymous sources, said the new ballpark -- set to open in 2009 -- will be called CitiField.

A ceremonial groundbreaking for the new stadium is scheduled for Monday.

Newsday said the Mets declined to comment on all matters relating to the naming rights.

a real draw

played some pitch n putt out by the beach at riis park. nothing spectacular but reasonably well maintained 18 hole course, and its right next to the beach which is convenient if you are dip-worthy.

i havent seen this in over twenty years but if you asked me what was the greatest rendition of the star spangled banner i would have said this, unequivocally. lets see if it holds up.

farting in your general direction

lip reading the italian mid-fielder who provoked zidane. sounds like enough to put a proud man over the edge. i could imagine someone like pele brushing off a rascist slur, especially considering the relative importance of a world cup final, but i cant hold it against zidane for acting out. meanwhile 80% of the french team were black whereas i did not see one person of color on the italian team. dont know if this just means france was a colonial power while the italians were still disunited, or if italy isnt very hospitable to black people.

oh yeah, the theme of this particular world cup was 'say no to racism.' looks like someone didnt get the memo. viva italia!
