6/14/06 - Cleveland Indians vs. New York Yankees

Yeah, I know it's been a while, but enjoy this shot from the Yankees game over a month ago vs Cleveland. In this game, Randy Johnson hit Eduardo Perez with a pitch after Jorge Posada got hit. Always fun to see the players tussle a little bit.



As for the Bobby Abreu and Corey Lidle acquisitions, hopefully they'll work out. I don't think they gave up a ton, and Abreu likely replaces Sheffield in the OF for 2007. I don't really think the Yanks can win the championship this year, but they've been pretty resiliant. In the current format, just making the playoffs gives a team a good shot at winning it all.

Superman Returns

Spoiler free

I saw Superman Returns in IMAX 3D yesterday at 8am. The show was well-sold.

The parts I liked, I really liked in the movie - like Brandon Routh as Superman. The music and effects were also great.

The parts I didn't like, I really didn't like. Kate Bosworth wasn't a great Lois Lane. Lex Luthor in Smallville is a better take on the character. A few other plot points that spoil the movie.

IMAX made the movie better. The 3D less so. The landscapes looked spectacular but some of the action was hard to watch in 3D.

The writers definitely watched a lot of the 1978 Superman movie.

Overall, a nice film, although I don't agree with a number of the creative decisions. I think a few of these things have been brought up in other reviews.
