Your on a need to know basis, and you don’t need to know.

Like who CARES?!

Thanks mommy.

Ever thinking about sending your thoughts to YWN directly?

The Shitta of the Gedolim in Eretz Yisroel is that money that is supporting learning takes precidence over all other political matters. How can you blame the Agudah for following the P’sak Halacha of Gedolim like Rav Elyashiv?

Are we in Eretz Yisroel?

Did they ask Rav Alyashiv about this?

Stop before you make a total fool out of yourself.

In fact, after the Lakewood Roshei yeshiva said to vote Corzine, some people went to rav Shteinman and told him he’s pro-gay, and he said chas veshalom should they vote for such a person.

I endorse YW Editor for the job.

I’m surprised no one has done that yet.

Nerve of you people!

@aries – your right about the throwing up issue….. I know you meant something totally opposite, so let me just inform you that there are teshuvos written about vomiting on Purim. Sounds hard to believe, but there are.

And please state the names of rabbonim who said NOT to get drunk on Purim.

Perhaps they said to drink wine, and not hard liquor (in fact that is what they said, unlike what you are saying).

And the one dais yochid rosh yeshiva who said people should not get drunk, have you ever been to his house on Purim? It seems he doesn’t really mind all that much…..

For the record, it has never been nogeia this winter in NYC. If there was snow, it was because some jerk didn’t shovel during the week. I just checked when every storm was.

Here is the law:

New York snow removal laws state that snow must be removed within 4 hours after the snowfall stops. If the snow stops between the hours of 9:00 pm and 7:00 am you have until the morning to start removing the snow from the sidewalk.

pretty cool

I heard the Korn family was arrested for selling bagels inside an Atlantic City Casino.

Whose the “we” exactly?

Please respond.

If I had a choice between some YU / MO rabbonim, or the Chazon Ish, Brisker Rov, Rav Shach, Rav Elchonon hyd, Chofetz Chaim, Satmar Rov, and countless others….

I’d stick with my group.

Lets just take for example Ben Torah. Now, suppose I tell you he’s really a girl, or here is a wild one: How about he’s really Joseph, and using another screen name?

My point is, it’s a pathetic argument.

The first half of the Yankees’ starting rotation flip was a flop, with Phil Hughes allowing seven runs over four-plus innings in Saturday’s 7-2 loss to the Rangers in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series, a defeat that boils down to a best-of-five set.

But if there is a singular name synonymous with postseason success, it is Andy Pettitte, who, despite being the all-time active leader in playoff victories, is the understudy to headline act and Rangers ace Cliff Lee in Game 3 of the ALCS on Monday. Yes, it is the lefty-not-named Pettitte who has generated the buzz, as much for his perfect 6-0 postseason record as for the haul of prized prospects New York was willing to give up at the Trade Deadline to try to put Lee in pinstripes.

“People can talk about Cliff as much as they want,” said reliever Joba Chamberlain, who needs just one word to summarize what Pettitte has done in 16 Major League seasons: wow.

“It’s kind of funny [that] you can put a guy who has 250 innings in the postseason with 19 wins on the back burner,” Chamberlain said of Monday’s matchup. “You know, people don’t realize how good that really is. … Cliff Lee is good, but this guy [in the locker] next to us is the best. And there’s no getting around it.”

It has always been this way for Pettitte, tasked with proving himself ever since the 22nd-round Draft pick showed up at Rookie ball in 1991. Current Orioles manager Buck Showalter, then involved in the Yankees’ Minor Leagues, was struck in instructional league by Pettitte’s “good face,” a domineering glare that has become ingrained in his game as much as that highly-coveted pickoff move.

“He’s not underrated in this clubhouse,” said Hughes, who has benefited enormously from watching Pettitte keep his emotions in check. “We know how valuable he is to our team.”

Pettitte, who is 19-9 in 41 career playoff starts, used to watch the tape of his Game 5 start in the 1996 World Series — a contest in which he tossed 8 1/3 scoreless innings — to get a confidence boost. But the days of needing reassurance are over, and if there is one thing the Yankees can expect from their veteran starter on Monday night it is this: he won’t be overwhelmed by the moment.

“Pretty much every situation you can think of he’s been in,” said captain Derek Jeter. “He’s been successful. So when you have had success, I think he really uses that to his advantage.”

“He’s pitched in so many postseasons and been so clutch, it’s hard to say really how he’s done it, how he’s been able to sustain it,” Hughes said of Pettitte, who has a career 3.87 postseason ERA. “But I know he’s one of the hardest workers in here.”

With both of New York’s starters stumbling, Hughes’ struggles preceding ace CC Sabathia’s lack of command, the fate of a pivotal Game 3 hinges on the 38-year-old Pettitte giving the Yankees effectiveness and innings. They will rely on him — like they have so many times before — to dip into his playoff pedigree and shake off whatever rust the long layoff an AL Division Series sweep caused for their first two arms.

“I’ll be able to control my emotions, I’ll be able to handle myself,” said Pettitte, who will face a lethal Rangers lineup on 11 days’ rest. “It’s a matter if I can get the body and the release point and everything else going the way I want it to.”

It is unquestionably harder than it used to be for Pettitte, who has 489 regular-season games under his belt on top of his postseason resume. He is barely a month removed from pitching to Double-A hitters as part of a rehab assignment for an injured groin that caused him to miss two months of the season. His return was hardly seamless, as Pettitte posted a combined 6.75 ERA in his final three starts for the Yankees, a far cry from the sub-3 ERA mark he posted in the first two months.

But Pettitte in the postseason has become nearly mythical, and he held the Twins to two runs over seven innings in a first-round ALDS victory. He hasn’t been tagged with a postseason loss since the 2005 National League Championship Series as a member of the Houston Astros, a mind-boggling stat that makes Lee’s marquee status in Monday’s game almost unheard of. Perhaps bulletin-board material for any other starter, Pettitte is unaffected by his opposition taking top billing.

“I guess I can say I’m used to that,” Pettitte said. “It’s always maybe the other guy that’s going to get that. That’s totally fine with me. I’m not a guy who likes a lot of attention. I’m kind of uncomfortable with a whole lot of attention. I want to go out and do my job.”

“His priorities are in line,” Chamberlain said of Pettitte’s even-keeled approach. “Baseball is probably the last thing on his mind, and that’s why he’s been so successful. His faith, his family and the relationships that he creates is more important than baseball. And that creates the dynamic that he can play this game and leave it all on the field. At the end of the day, he knows he left it all out there and he can be happy with what he’s done.”

The reason all the videos were pulled off YouTube was that they are illegal, and are pure geneiva.

that other website steals videos from YouTube all day long, and copied it prior to YouTube pulling all the videos.

What’s wrong with continuing to post all your recipes right here in the YWN Coffee Room where people have been doing that since it was launched?

Thanks Joseph (aka Mezonos Maven).

Always a pleasure to see you quoting from Rabbi Avigdor Miller as you always did under your old name which you stopped using 2 weeks ago.
