I'm not going to spoil it, hop on over and find out.The Sunday Times reviews The Bloomsday Dead. Their verdict on the last book in the trilogy? Again why should I ruin it for you? Jump across to see.

Gentlemen the pair of them. Sort of like this kindly old gent (right) though hopefully not as drunk. And I'm sure they've got someone to iron their shirts.

August 10th update. A nice review from Gene McEldowney in the Irish Independent here. Thank you, I appreciate it. Mr. McEldowney's shirts are always pristine.

Good dialogue on DBB. Go Sox!
Someone suggested that the Red Sox had become the Yankees (winning all the time, arrogant, obnoxious fans), to which I added that the Yankees had become the Braves (always making the playoffs, never winning the World Series).

Kevin, thank you.
Peter, I think you might be right about that. This is not going to be their year either.
Its a cliche that its always next year but anyway next year with Kennedy, Hughes, Wang, Joba all under 28, could be a nice little line up there.
thanks for the comment.
Yeah, wouldn't it be something if the Yankees won a pennant by going with young players? And they did pick up some good talent at the trading deadline, so they could be the Tampa Bay Rays' biggest threat.

Next year too its adios to a lot of older players and big salaries. Sadly I think Jeter's on the decline too. But we'll see.
Cheers mate
adrian...
Wouldn't that be something if sometime in the next season or two, the Yankees won one last World Series as a kind of last hurrah for Derek Jeter? The Yankees could become America's sentimental favorites, which is probably unprecedented at least in the past 85 or so years.

Peter,
I'd fly back to NYC for that. I was there for the 96 ticker tape, the first one since 78, I think, and that was something special. Jeter cant have more than 2 or 3 seasons left him with his production. Hall of Fame? I dont know. A Rod yes, Jeter not so sure.
A...
Yes to the Hall of Fame for Jeter.
Criminy, you're a fan if you would fly back to New York for a parade, though I recently gave directions to a French woman living in Germany who had flown to the U.S. to see George Michael in concert. A Yankees fan is at least as good a reason for a intercontinental trip.

I dont know if Jeter really has the numbers and as far as I understand you're not suppose to include post season numbers in the calculus. I think Jeter and Posada are the last two survivors from the 96 team.

But they're forgetting the intangibles too. Goose got in partly on the aura he generated not on his raw stats. There's someting Wonderboyish about Jeter that transcends figures. Hitting is way down though this and last year and I think will stay down until he retires and thats a bit sad.
