SUGGESTIONS

It's hard to believe the huge amount of people that fell in love with a Melanie concert. Especially if she had her best stuff. Needless to Say: Her best stuff is her old stuff. It's what got her several gold records. It's what made her a superstar in Europe. Her new stuff is what she insists on playing. And that's where she went wrong. Her last hundred shows are saturated with new below average unheard songs. No one is telling her what to do; but she should limit her shows with no more than two or three new songs. But ironically she's doing about 97% new songs that no one has ever heard; and 3% of her old vintage material. No wonder she hasn't had a hit record in more than 20 years. We strongly suggest that she should give her audience what they want to hear. And if she doesn't; her next sold out concert will almost certainly be about 11 people. Oh well.....  As for Wilson Betemit; It is simply silly to start him at first base against left handed pitchers. The man can not hit right handed. It's almost a disgrace to watch him strike out 80% of the time batting right handed; while Shelley Duncan rots on the bench. Shelley Duncan needs to start against all lefties; and manager Girardi better take some good advice. Shelley could be the difference between making the playoffs or going home on October 3rd. How stubborn can Girardi be? This brings us to Kei Igawa. If manager Girardi thinks that he can get to the World Series without a left handed reliever he is totally dreaming. Read more...
