Learning more about Wounded Warrior

16192591_150×150_front.JPGAs many of you know, Johnny Damon is a national spokesman for the Wounded Warrior Project. The WWP is doing great work with wounded veterans who have returned home.

One of our readers, Ben, is involved with the Wounded Warrior Project and alerted me a new initiative they started called
Operation Outreach. The on-line project included some video podcasts to promote awareness.

Here is episode one.

Here is episode two.

To subscribe to the podcasts, go to this link.

This is an organization well worthy of your consideration.

    It’s a great organization.

  2. Brent (Yankees Need a Pick-Me-Up)

    Wow, yeah. I had no idea.

  3. Don Vito A. Bellamo

    thank you for this, Peter ! :-)

    I am very proud of Johnny D. What are any of us, without eachother?

  5. Peter Rabbit

    Are there any clips online from Joba’s ESPY Award Show appearance?

    Monday: RHP Nick Blackburn (7-5, 3.65) vs. RHP Sidney Ponson (5-1, 3.96)
    Tuesday: RHP Kevin Slowey (6-6, 4.36) vs. RHP Darrell Rasner (5-7, 4.97)
    Wednesday: LHP Glen Perkins (7-2, 3.84) vs. RHP Mike Mussina (12-6, 3.49)

    Friday: RHP Joba Chamberlain (2-3, 2.52) vs. RHP Josh Beckett (9-6, 3.98)
    Saturday: LHP Andy Pettitte (11-7, 3.86) vs. RHP Tim Wakefield (6-7, 3.69)
    Sunday: RHP Sidney Ponson (5-1, 3.96) vs. LHP Jon Lester (7-3, 3.38)

    I feel ok about the Twins series. Blackburn’s capable of shutting them down, but I have a feeling Ponson’ll outpitch him.

    Tuesday’s iffy. I have no faith in Rasner. Slowey’s last two outings have been horrid though.

    Wednesday, Lefty vs. Mussina. I have a lot of faith in Mussina, but no faith in the offense. I’d say no sweep; 2-1 or 1-2.

    Friday will make or break the Sox series; Saturday goes to Pettitte, and Sunday goes to Lester. I’d be surprised if either is incorrect. 2-1 or 1-2.

    So, 4-2, 3-3, or 2-4 will be the outcome of the next six. Hopefully 4-2 (or better).

    I don’t how much you guys believe in this, but last night was a HUGE day for the Yankees in terms of baseball prospectus projections. Their postseason odds shot up almost 5% from 12.53307% to 17.24203%.
    PECOTA playoff odds went from 16.14% to 21.555% and
    ELO projections went from 21.8% to 28.1%.

    Those are huge jumps for one day, especially this far from the end of the season.
