there's no crying in baseball..........
I understand that Fans get upset when "their" team loses, and sometime cry. But a broadcaster live on-air? I think that's unprecedented. Well that's exactly what Yankees radio announcer Suzyn Waldman did during the postgame show on WFAN last night.
Here's the audio. WCBS 880 Audio
No I was okay actually until I went into the clubhouse and the coaches are sitting in Torre’s office and they are watching this. And the tears you hear in my voice are coming down the faces of the coaches in that coach's room.”- Suzyn Waldman"Well Suzyn, in life all good things come to an end.”- John Sterling
God schadenfreude is so rich sometime(s). But in all seriousness there is NEVER an instance when a broadcaster should cry live on air. I understand her allegiance to the team and the emotions tied to working for them, but even John Sterling sounded shocked that she was tearing up.
You can also relive Suzyn's greatest moment ever when Roger Clemens came back earlier in the year if you'd like.
"you belong at applebees"
BROOMFIELD, Colo. -- A 6-year-old boy was hungry and decided he'd go to Applebees. So he grabbed the car keys, took his booster seat from the back seat of his grandmother's car and placed it in the driver's seat, then made a go of driving himself to the restaurant Tuesday.
He made it about 75 feet. Unable to take the car out of reverse, he crossed the street and ran into a transformer and communication box, knocking out electricity and phone service to dozens of townhomes.
Nobody was injured and the boy, whose name was not released, got out of his car and told his grandmother what happened.
"He proceeded to start the car and started backing up," said Sgt. Colleen O'Connell of the Broomfield Police Department. "He went backward about 47 feet, hit the curb, then went backward another 29 feet."
Investigators couldn't figure out how the boy reached the accelerator.
No charges will be filed.
"I have five children of my own, so I know you cannot watch them every minute they're awake," said nearby resident Nancy Hollis, whose power was knocked out by the accident.

absolut IV, please
BRISBANE, Australia - Australian doctors said they plugged a poisoned Italian tourist into a vodka drip after running out of the medicinal alcohol they would normally have used to save his life.
The 24-year-old Italian, who was not further identified, was diagnosed as having ingested a large quantity of ethylene glycol, a common ingredient in antifreeze that can cause renal failure.
Pure alcohol is often given in treating such cases because it can inhibit the toxic effects of ethylene glycol.
Dr. Pascal Gelperowicz at Mackay Base Hospital where the man was taken for treatment said he was given pharmaceutical-grade alcohol on arrival, but that the hospital's supplies soon ran out.
"We quickly used all the available vials of 100 percent alcohol and decided the next best way to get alcohol into the man's system was by feeding him spirits through a nasogastric tube," Gelperowicz said in a statement.
"The patient was drip-fed about three standard drinks an hour for three days in the intensive care unit," he said. "The hospital's administrators were also very understanding when we explained our reasons for buying a case of vodka."
The patient made a successful recovery. The incident occurred about two months ago, though the hospital just released information on the case.

cyberman voice changer
The morose metal men may have lost their emotions, but it's easy to get emotional about a toy so cool it could easily be mistaken for an original prop .
The helmet is meant to fit most sizes of head using an adjustable head strap such as you'd find in sports or construction helmets. Fitting a head inside the gap is not difficult, though if you wear glasses it becomes a chore. Best to remove those before donning the Cyber-helm. The nose fits against a rubber guard that allows for a comfortable fit. Just at the mouth is a recessed microphone. Pushing the center button then modulates anything spoken into the microphone. The sound is accompanied by a blue LED lighting up in an effect that accurately captures a speaking Cyberman.
The voice modulator can't cover your speech, so some of your natural voice leaks out, but it does alter it and the speaker sends out the altered voice. The effect is good overall. There is a slide switch that controls the pitch of the modulation, so different voices can use different settings to achieve the same Cyberman sound.
can i get change for a million?
That's what a man was seeking Saturday when he handed a $1 million bill to a cashier at a Pittsburgh supermarket.
But when the Giant Eagle employee refused and a manager confiscated the bogus bill, the man flew into a rage, police said.
The man slammed an electronic funds-transfer machine into the counter and reached for a scanner gun, police said.
Police arrested the man, who was not carrying identification and has refused to give his name to authorities. He is being held in the Allegheny County Jail.
Since 1969, the $100 bill is the largest note in circulation.
Police believe the $1 million note seized at the supermarket may have originated at a Dallas-based ministry. Last year, the ministry distributed thousands of religious pamphlets with a picture of President Grover Cleveland on a $1 million bill.

Hillary Clinton details plan to give every American affordable pantsuits
DES MOINES, Iowa—For months, Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton has promised a plan to bring pantsuits to every American. She made good on that claim Tuesday, unveiling a proposal that would require all Americans to own pantsuits and proposing federal subsidies to help reduce the cost of the coordinating ensembles.
The universal pantsuit plan has been a major project for Clinton since she played the role of First Lady during her husband’s stint in the White House. “It has always been my dream that every citizen have access to affordable pantsuits,” said Clinton. “Each person has a fundamental right to matching pants and jackets in cotton-wool blends."
The centerpiece of Clinton's plan is what is known as an "individual mandate," calling for everyone to own pantsuits, similar to the way most states require drivers to purchase their own auto insurance. This option would drive down costs of pantsuits while still giving Americans an opportunity to shop around for the pantsuits best for them.
With 89 million Americans currently without pantsuits, the Democratic presidential contender has staked her campaign upon creating a plan for universal pantsuit coverage. “The Senator (Clinton) feels someone needs to stand up for the average American,” said Neera Tanden, Clinton's top policy adviser. “After all, just like they do, she puts her pants on one leg at a time.”
Republican skeptics say the pantsuit plan would be too broad and would restrict personal freedom and choice, especially around the hips. Meanwhile, liberal Democrats argue it would be too financially burdensome for low-income families to purchase such large amounts of fabric, as the nation’s poor are quite obese.

HALF MOON BAY, Calif. - An Oregon man won the annual pumpkin weigh-off here, presenting a gigantic gourd that came it at 1,524 pounds. Thad Starr, of Pleasant Hill, Ore., set a contest record with the pumpkin. He'll get $6 a pound, bringing his winnings to $9,144.
"It's the thrill of the victory," Starr said after his pumpkin came out on top. "And it's the fruition of a year's work."
About 80 contestants competed for the first-place prize, according to festival officials.
Pumpkins were lowered by forklift onto a 5-ton capacity digital scale monitored by officials from the San Mateo County Agricultural Commissioner's Office.
The top five pumpkins at the Half Moon Bay Art and Pumpkin Festival will remain on display throughout the week.
The 2006 winner weighed in at 1,223 pounds, officials said.
