Bronx

Strangely, a few days ago I was excited by the recent NYT article, Borough Gets Scant Notice for Hospitality. And then yesterday, I found If the Bronx Builds (and Updates) It, the Tourists Will Come which excited me even more though I must say I was surprised to read the harsh, insensitive thoughts of one commenter, who said:better idea not to waste one cent designing the bronx website. most of t

Crack buddies! What you are seeing is correct. This is a photo of Amy Winehouse out and about with Pete Doherty the other night. As a warning, if you stare directly at the photo, you will get a contact high.

Curtis Granderson went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and scored three times as the Tigers defeated the Yankees 6-4 in the first of a three-game series at Yankee Stadium. Placido Polanco added four hits, an RBI and scored twice for Detroit, which has won six of its last eight games. Gary Sheffield also homered for the Tigers. Kenny Rogers hurled six innings of two-run ball to improve to 2-and-3 with the win. Todd Jones gave up a run in the ninth, but held on for his fifth save. Phil Hughes was tagged for all six runs in three-and-two-thirds innings to fall to 0-and-4 with the loss. Robinson Cano hit a two-run homer for New York, which fell to 14-and-14. Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez is headed to the 15-day DL with a quadriceps strain.

Jorge Posada went 2-for-5 with three RBI to lead the Yankees to a 15-9 win over the Red Sox in a shootout in the Bronx. Bobby Abreu slugged a two-run homer and Alex Rodriguez added the 522nd of his career to move past Ted Williams and Willie McCovey into 15th place on baseball's all-time list. New York led 7-4 after four innings, fell behind 9-7 in the fifth, and scored four times in the bottom of the fifth to take the lead for good. LaTroy Hawkins picked up the win and Brian Bruney his first save. Julian Tavarez took the loss for Boston, which had its four-game winning streak snapped. Dustin Pedroia, J.D. Drew and Sean Casey all had multiple hits and drove in two runs each for the Red Sox.

To be 'first' in most categories is a great honor, but to be the first fan to ever step through the gates of now legendary Yankee Stadium is something very special. So special that Malcolm Drummond -- who lived but a mere blocks away from Yankee Stadium when it opened in 1923 -- bailed on his school responsibilities that April 18; determined to be the very first stadium patron.Drummond's proximity to the Stadium was indeed an advantage, but it didn't hurt that he arrived at the corner of River Ave. and 161st Street hours before Yankee starter Bob Shawkey would throw his first pitch. Drummond's resourcefulness paid off handsomely.As the Bronx Home News detailed in the fifth paragraph of its April 18 evening edition, Drummond (whose complete address is printed) appears to be the first to hav

See — we don't completely hate the Yankees here at The Hudson Line. After all, some of our most loyal readers like the Yanks, like Manny and Jesse Ventoso, of Kearny, who were fortunate to be able to attend the very last Opening Day at the Stadium in the Bronx. Thanks, Manny, for sending in the photos!

I hope you all had a great Holiday! Here’s a cute pair of low pumps from Bronx Shoes to get us back in the swing of things.  They are described on the zappos website as being “Victorian” styled - but I think they look more like a vintage swing shoe from the 1920′ & 30’s. Regardless of [...]

Here’s Lindsay Lohan, pantless again, sporting another shade of leggings. Sometimes I wonder if her leggings are crotchless and thus, she never takes them off. Lindsay’s kind of the fashion equivalent of Jim Morrison. Not in that she has sexy rock star style, or talent for that matter, but Jim apparently never [...]

Chazz Palminteri wrote the script for this excellent story of an Italian American boy (Lillo Brancato) who grows up in the 1960s caught between the strong influences of his blue-collar, straight- arrow father (Robert De Niro) and a Mafia chieftain (Palminteri) who is his all-purpose mentor. De Niro makes his directorial [...]

Not to go too deep back into revisionist history; let us hark back to what was said 2 weeks ago when the Yankees were on the verge of their season ending..."His job is on the line," the owner was quoted in Sunday's editions of The Record of New Jersey. "I think we're paying him a lot of money. He's the highest-paid manager in baseball, so I don't think we'd take him back if we don't win this series." -- the words of the "Boss", George Steinbrenner...Well, the Yankees won that Sunday, but got jettisoned out of the pennant chase the following Monday thanks to a loss to the Indians.And a few days later from Brian Cashman....Nearly everyone in New York wanted to know Tuesday whether owner George Steinbrenner will keep his longtime manager or let him go after 12 straight playoff appearances.No answers yet."Have some patience. Things take time. There will be a process and we'll work through that, and it will lead us where it leads us," general manager Brian Cashman said. "My speculati

IGN Sports' Dan Phillips has come up with a list of recommendations for the Yankees as they try to "right" the 94-win ship, with the premise that "The Yanks should wave goodbye to sentimentality." I can't argue with two of them, ("Let Joe Torre Walk" and "Sign A-Rod") but the other two represent the opposite of good advice:2) Let Jorge Posada WalkPosada is coming off the best season by an aging catcher in baseball history, which is precisely why the Yankees should let some other team get suckered into paying him the big bucks. Aging catchers inevitably break down into mere shells of their former selves, and what's worse, they do it suddenly and without warning. Do you really want to fork over a three-year, 45 million-dollar contract to Posada on the assumption that he'll defy one of the few universal truths in baseball and produce offensively well into his late thirties? Just ask Red Sox fans how that worked out with Jason Varitek. Just one year after signing their oft-injured star

Jennifer López y Marc Anthony, con lágrimas en los ojos dijeron sentirse "abrumados" por el caluroso recibimiento que les dieron el martes cientos de niños en una escuela del condado del Bronx, tres días antes de arrancar su gira musical que apoya una campaña de salud dirigida a los pequeños. "Eso fue tan... Ay Dios mío. ¿Qué me han hecho? ¡Miren mi maquillaje!", dijo una emotiva López mientras se secaba los ojos tras escuchar al coro de la escuela interpretar una canción para ellos en el auditorio de la Escuela Pública 36 de Union Port, a escasas calles de donde la artista creció."Los vemos y nos vemos a nosotros mismos", añadió la cantante y actriz de origen puertorriqueño, ataviada con un vestido gris estilo años 50 y sombrero negro. "Recuerdo muy bien cuando estaba en la escuela y subía al escenario y soñaba con lo que podía llegar a ser".Marc Anthony, por su parte, dijo estar "extremadamente conmovido y abrumado" por el calor de los niños, quienes los recibie

Welcome to another Friday Factoid! The notorious Bronx.... For me, this New York borough conjours up images of "My Cousin Vinny" and the automobile-savvy Marisa Tomei with her quick-witted comebacks. But do you know where the Bronx got it's name from? Well, the Bronx is actually named after the Bronx River -- which in turn was named after the first European settler in the region, a

Nothing to serious today, just some photos from the family outing to the Bronx Zoo in New York. We’re pulling out of our driveway and Jen says “turn left”. … Well thank goodness you have Mapquest directions honey, I was just going to try and find New York by driving in ever increasing circles around my house until I found it. No worries though… I used it as leverage later on.  Anyways… Elephants!             Rhinos!               The Bronx River!             A reddish critter in a tree!              Civilization!              Some kind of cats on a high rock in a fake jungle.

WNYC's Cindy Rodriguez has a piece today on how big real estate firms, often from abroad, are buying up apartment buildings in the Bronx and Northern Manhattan. Fueled by the weak dollar, foreign firms are purchasing properties "this cheap stock of housing that’s far from luxurious." But at the current rents these buildings are barely profitable (if at all), so they still can't be considered bargains even for someone buying with euros or pounds. The deals only work for the investor when they can raise the rents.

(Kota Kinabalu/Malaysia). Am Hafen warten wir ca. eine Stunde in einer Schlange auf ein Taxi. Bei den monsunartigen Regenfällen will keiner, der anderen Passagier, in die nicht weit entfernte Stadt laufen. Da wir mittlerweile ein bisschen auf Tipps von Reisebekanntschaften angewiesen sind, besonders in Hotelfragen, können wir dem Fahrer sogar eine Adresse nennen. Natürlich sind die komplett ausgebucht. Nach langer Suche landeen wir schließlich in einem schaurigen Industriegebiet in einem 4 qm Meter Zimmer mit Doppelstockbett. Die Gegend hier, hätte jedem Film, der in der früheren Bronx oder in asiatischen Gruselfilmen spielt, alle Ehre gemacht. Man müsse auch nur 25 Minuten in die Stadt laufen. Der Tag ist eh gelaufen und ums Eck gibt es sogar noch eine orientalische Imbissbude – natürlich ohne Alkohol. Etwas betrübt schlendern wir zurück, als plötzlich ein schwarzer, getönter Van vor uns hält. Ich denke sofort: &

Last night, the O's defeated the Yankees 4-0, thanks to a masterful performance by Erik Bedard and the power of Aubrey Huff. On an ungodly humid night where the vast majority of fans rooted for the Yankees, O's fans are delighted to have beaten the Bronx Bombers for the 4th time in five opportunities this season.The O's scored in the sixth inning as they teed off of Roger Clemens. Ramon Hernandez drove in a run to start the fun, and then Aubrey Huff (finally!) hit a three run homerun for the exclamation point on Wednesday night.Roger got denied his 350th win, and while he got by on location, grit and determination for the first five innings, he looked like a middle-aged man when it came to the sixth inning.Yet again, Roger was denied win number 350...Erik Bedard looked great at his struck out and had a two hitter going into the eighth inning until he was yanked.Tonight, it is Chien-Ming Wang versus Daniel Cabrera.Seeing games in Yankee Stadium since the mid-1990's (I spent a lot of

Essa fantástica campanha foi criada pela Y&R de Nova York para o Bronx Zoo. A plástica das peças mostra que para ser criativo, basta apenas ser simples. Para cada peça da ação, foi utilizada apenas uma folha branca [com a assinatura em preto] recortada no centro com o perfil de um animal. No caso destas: elefante, borboleta e zebra. Árvores, muros pichados e grades foram escolhidos a dedo para servir de fundo e “dar vida” aos desenhos.

This diary is dedicated to my brother-in-law Mark, the White Sox fan I wish I could post the "I didn't have the ball, bitch!" photo, as it brought us luck in the last series. However, with Mikey's transference to greener pastures this week, I fear it might have the opposite effect. Instead, I give you the craziest Venezuelan this side of Huge Chavez: While we can't look forward to an AJ/Mikey rematch any longer (and frankly, that ALONE might have been cause to keep Barrett around), we can hope for yet another lecture on diversity and tolerance in America from their fearless leader. In the past, Ozzie has given us such pearls of wisdom as: "I've got two people here that drive me crazy. They are all over me, and I'm like 'Shut up, you drunk.' It's easy to make moves when you're drunk.” "If my kids were on the field, they were going to get their rear end kicked. What's Ozzie Jr. going to do? Eat somebody?" "He's a garbage.He's always been a garbage.And he will die a garba

Criativa a campanha desenvolvida pela Young & Rubicam de New York para promover o Zoológico do Bronx, o maior zoológico urbano dos Estados Unidos. Cartazes com recortes de animais que podem ser vistos no zoológico, foram afixados em locais que lembram a textura natural de suas peles. Idéia muito bacana, simples e original. A frase escrita nos cartazes é “Bronx Zoo – Why Not Today?” (Zôo do Bronx – Por que não hoje?). Confira: Diretor de Criação: Richard Goldstein Diretores de Arte: Karisa Holyoak, Kristen Blake

The Bucs are currently battling the Million-Dollar-A-Start Man in Yankee Stadium (and holding their own through 4) in the second game of the highly anticipated series with the Yanks. Longtime reader "Cecil from Cecil" gives us an in-person report from last night's Bucco extra inning loss against the Yankees:"My observations from a hot and sticky night in the South Bronx: 1. Low turnout from the Pittsburgh fans! I've never been to a Pittsburgh road game (Steelers, Pirates, Pens, or Pitt) where I've seen fewer Pittsburgh fans than at Yankee Stadium on Friday night. I saw a few Clemente jerseys, a Jason Kendall, and finally a Jason Bay as we boarded the subway after the game. Shockingly, very little Steeler gear. I was sure I'd see a Greg Lloyd jersey, but maybe those will be out in force later in the weekend. 2. I can't relate to people who take baseball as seriously as the Yankee fans do. I live in NYC and I'm very fond of looking astonished when people get all worked up at a Yank

King George Says Not All Is Rosy In The BronxNew York Yankees principal owner and managing partner, George Steinbrenner has spoken, and according to published reports, not all is well in Yankee Land. Steinbrenner, spoke with the Associated Press, in a report published on Friday and among other things said that general manager Brian Cashman was on a "Big hook." Steinbrenner said that Cashman wanted total authority, in team matters, that he currently has it, and the team's future is right now in his hands. Steinbrenner, also told the A.P. that manager Joe Torre is not in any short term danger, that the team is not looking to make a change at the field general level. Steinbrenner, speculated that current Yankee coach Don Mattingly would probably become a fine manager some day. When asked to comment on New York DH Jason Giambi's interview last week, when Giambi said MLB owed the fans an apology the Yankees owner did appear to be pleased. Steinbrenner said that Giambi "should have kept h

One thing I learned today is that I prefer to sketch things that don’t move! My friend Kay and I went to sketch at the Bronx Zoo. We brought just our sketchbooks, ink pens, and small pan sets of watercolors. It seemed that every single animal started moving as soon as the pen touched my paper. I thought one minute gestures in the figure drawing studio were fast, but suddenly those seemed like long poses compared with what we faced today! They were also farther away than the models—sometimes so far away that seeing them clearly was a challenge. Aha! Finally I got to sketch something close that didn’t move—the rhino statue in front of the Zoo Center! *grin* I could do more of these. Camels are a really hard to sketch and don’t stay still at all, and even the bison turned away from us as we started to draw. Next time, I think I’ll focus on the architecture. hehehe…. It was a beautiful day and we had a wonderful time enjoying the animals, the

Yea, so in case you haven't noticed Arod seems to have temporarily gotten back together with Yankees fans everywhere this April. For those of you who are oblivious to the sports world he is hitting .400 with 14 HRs, 34 RBIs, and a .453 OBP...slightly amazing.Just for fun this morning in AP English I was doing some computing and it is worth noting that right now Arod is on pace to hit:.400 with 126 HRs, 306 RBIs, with a .453 OBP. I'd say those would be MVP type of numbers and probably would break just a couple records.So as the sports world (Yanks fans especially) is/are going crazy with this right now and there is something that I wanted to talk about. I know what it's like to be an avid baseball fan and all, and I'm still jacked about Prince's game-winning bomb last night but Yankees fans need to wake up! As they obsess over Arod's stats and performance as if they had never doubted him since he dawned pinstripes their team is a pathetic 8-10 and is nearly in the cellar of the A

Hey, did you hear the one about how singer Jennifer Lopez used to live in the Bronx and would ride the 6 train every day into NYC to make her dreams happen? Of course you have--she shares this tidbit to anyone who will listen, even putting her experiences into the life-altering poetic anthem "Jenny From The Block." Just in case you forgot her roots for half a second, she is here to remind you. Again.

Spending a lot of time in New York City and being a baseball fan, we often know about the legend of George Steinbrenner and his sometime tenuous relationships with players, coaches and managers. As well, he is often criticized for the Yankees spending and perhaps playing a large role in the financial disparity of franchises in the game today. Well, I have seen George Steinbrenner show a lot of heart to players and with charity work, and yesterday he offered to help out nine victims of a horrific fire that engulfed a Bronx row house in the same vicinity where the Yankees play by paying for their funeral arrangements. Some of us may hate or like Mr. Steinbrenner for his massive ego and theatrics in the past, but he stepped to the plate for a family in a time of need, and you only have to respect what he’s done.
