Morning Bits: 9-11, SI-Yankees, Romine
Good morning all. Yet another loss last night, making it 4 losses in a row. Boston also lost, so the 2.5 game lead is still intact.
The Magic Number is now at 16.
More importantly, today is the 10 year- anniversary of 9-11. Today we remember all those who lost their lives in that tragic attack on our country.
Here are your morning links:
— Don Amore of the Hartford Courant discusses why baseball was able to help New York City heal.
— “Alfonso Soriano remembers the homer he thought won the World Series city needed after 9/11″ by Anthony McCarron of the Daily News.
— To clarify the title of last night’s recap, the Staten Island Yankees did not win the playoffs. They won the first series against the Brooklyn Cyclones and will be playing in the Championship Series against Auburn, starting today.
— Austin Romine may join the team today, due to Frankie Cervelli’s concussion symptoms.
The Yanks play today at 3:35pm, the final game of the 3 game set in Anaheim.

Today is a tough day for me as I lost my Uncle Tony. He worked at the World Trade. Also my dad retired 2 months before 9/11. He was a Port Authority Police Officer. He lost alot of friends that day that i grew up with.
‘Morning, Matthew….sorry for your loss. Sad day, but lets not forget them. My flag is out. my heart is heavy. My wife AnneMarie is on a train, now, to Penn Sta….then to Boston. Will feel better after she is out of the city. Take care.
Thanks Patrick. Have a good day.
Sorry for your loss of ten years ago, Matt! Our thoughts go out to you and yours, plus the many others of 9/11.
Too many people were lost that day, may we never forget them…nor forget what happened and by whom!
Thank you Ken. Enjoy the day. Currently Boston is losing. Yankees need to get a win today.
