Alright, I still love the idea behind A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio And I won’t tell no one you name, so that concept is obviously set in stone. @YouTheReader your default setting for His or Her Words, Not Mine is a team/sport/topic “fan insider.” If you wish to come up with your own @Name, I’ll run with that so that other @YouTheReaders could also start to get to know your style. Either way, I won’t tell no one your name. Unless you want your full name on Week to Week Notes.
“Name” is a great tune, however, the Goo Goo Dolls aren’t Irish. The only thing I’m conflicted about with Where The Streets Have No Name by U2 is if I mess this up my dad will never let me in the house again. Anyway, we’ll experiment with it in March on Thursdays in the lead-up to Saint Patrick’s Day.
@YouTheReader alright, so please keep in mind that my dad has been asking my mom to play U2 songs since the 90s on cassettes. He’s got to be one of the biggest fans of the Irish band which has been massive globally spanning 5 decades now. To this day he still requests U2, except now my mom got him an Alexa. The funny thing is, that bish Alexa never knows what he’s saying so it’s always good craic hearing him argue with Jeff Bezos’ inanimate object. Anyway, My Warped Logic behind any U2 song is going to have a different meaning than what the lyrics actually mean because you’re not thinking about all these annotations, metaphors, and wordplay when you first listen to a song and have a massive crush on the Pink Power Ranger.
So, with any U2 song, I grew up thinking about their lyrics from my dad’s perspective. I always pictured him leaving home at 16 in search of a City that he didn’t know any of the streets’ names of at the time.
*Cough, cough, New York City, Cough, cough*
@YouTheReader we’re going to play along that this isn’t Court Street. Okay? Thanks!

“It’s like drinking a warm blanket on a cold night.”
(@YouTheReader: Alright, this could be fun. A Week to Week Notes fan insider sent over a TBT Guinness & Poem from a couple of years ago. If you’re ever drinking pints and want to send over your best scripture, send them my way. We’ll keep them anonymous and if enough people submit, could even vote on a monthly winner. I’m just spitballing.)

Iverson Classic Media Request
Good looks 🫡
No doubt bro and the game is in Jersey. It has the top players in it. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bronny gets added to the game.
(@YouTheReader: The Iverson Classic would be the 2nd live basketball event in Week to Week Notes history. The 1st one being St. John’s CYO basketball obviously. Much appreciated again for the tip here!)

The Yankees play baseball today
Let’s go !!!
Play the kids !!!!
This is embarrassing and they need to get rid of this rule immediately.
Turn it off in the 7th, 8th, and 9th innings. Letting the moment build in between big pitches in big at-bats is a huge part of baseball.
Haha, I agree with that. I kind of like how they’re trying something new though, can’t have it affect the ending of games
I don’t hate it early in the game but honestly, I don’t know that baseball is gonna pick up any viewers from this. If you don’t like baseball you’re not gonna like it now bc the game is a half-hour shorter.
I think they have to find ways to move the game along. But no way games can end that way. Don’t know what the solution is - maybe bigger bases.
(@YouTheReader whenever baseball is in a predicament, I agree with my Yankee fan insider here. Bigger bases should solve all.)

Anthony Volpe has arrived in the Grapefruit League.
MLB's No. 5 prospect logs two hits, two steals (one to beat a pitchout!) in his first action of 2023 for the @Yankees.
He will be what we hoped Gleyber would be.
Good point, that would be amazing.
If he is good he will cut into the sale of Judge’s jerseys - and I think Judge will be totally cool with that as long as they are winning. Fans are gonna love him if he’s good. And they will have room for both. And if the 👽 is the real deal - fuggedaboutit!!
Imagine if the 👽 absolutely kills it in AA and gets called up late in the year. We could have him in LF and Volpe at SS. Probably not going to happen but would be the best-case scenario.
Don’t sleep on Oswald Peraza - I think the dude can play.
I mean you never know with 👽, if the vets don’t come out the gate strong they could phantom IL them, or who knows by then there are always injuries. They might want to go with the kids with more speed on the bases, new pick-off rules, and of course bigger bases.
I think they desperately want to go with the kids - but let’s see if they have the ⚽️ 🏀 🏈

If Sevy is the Sevy he can be Yanks are winning the World Series. And if the top 4 stay healthy, i be the 5th starter - it won’t matter.
Yup. 👽 with another hit today.

That’s awesome
He was hanging with Jasson D yesterday.
Jeter-Volpe? Ahhh too soon.
Different captain but awesome.
That is awesome. Willie knows Volpe is next.

Unbelievable.
Here we go again.
(@YouTheReader: did you know that Todd Frazier is from Tom’s River, NJ, and that his little league team went on the field at Yankee Stadium for the ‘01 World Series? Todd Frazier is even pictured next to the Captain before he was named the Captain above.)
Looks like Volpe was looking for Bernie?
Volpe looked good at SS today. They should just stop with the IKF stuff.
Do they go Peraza or Volpe at SS?
I think it’s gonna be Peraza.
Saw someone compare Volpe to Bregman.
That’s my thing! I feel like he could be that kind of player.
I think Volpe will be it. I’d love Peraza to be there somewhere but Volpe is him.
Haha, I must’ve heard it before from you a while ago bc it wasn’t the first time I saw it but it was on Twitter.
Nah I believe you. I think it makes sense.
It’ll be interesting because I’d think they learned from Gleyber not to mess around with where to develop a guy. Either way, a great problem to have tho.

In 1980, Packers kicker Chester Marcol’s field goal attempt is blocked back into his hands and he runs that fucker in for a game-winning touchdown. If this play wasn’t already wildly awesome enough, Marcol later revealed he was high on cocaine at the time.
