ITP V.026 SPORTS: NEW YORK METS VS. NEW YORK YANKEES (SUBWAY SERIES)

 

To cheer up New Yorkers on this solemn day 9/11. There will be a baseball game, otherwise known as the regular season subway series between the NEW YORK METS and NEW YORK YANKEES. 

It will be aired on SNY and YES notwork.  

 

New York Yankee outfielder AARON JUDGE is back after a rib fracture with the Yankees. 

JUAN SOTO is back after a calf injury with the New York METS. 

ITP'S author is a suffering METS fan as General Manager DAVID STEARNS ruined the team by letting go of key players (to free agency) PETE ALONSO, EDWIN DIAZ, BRANDON NIMMO and more. 

The New York METS were sellers and the trade deadline and got some good prospects for their bullpen. 

Since firing their manager and getting an interim manger the New York Mets have been playing better baseball as rookies are making an impact. However, the New York Mets are last in their division and won't be making the playoffs. 

Thj New York Yankees should make the playoffs this year but struggled offensively without JUDGE and STANTON. 

In 2024 the NEW YORK METS were just two wins away (before being eliminated by the DODGERS) from a World Series/Subway Series with the NEW YORK YANKEES.   .

9/11/2001 : 25th ANNIVERSARY

 

 "Pessimist, terrorist targeting the next mark"-SLAYER

 

25 years ago today Islamic radicals hijacked 3 airplanes and flew them into the WORLD TRADE CENTERS in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington DC. 

In Washington DC (or Maryland), passengers over took the airplane so it wouldn't crash into a building. 

In New York City after the airplanes crashed into the buildings and the WORLD TRADE CENTERS collapsed white fluffy stuff fell from the buildings. 

Turns out the white fluffy stuff was a cancer causing agent that is killing fire fighters and first responders to this day..

Firefighters were were working at GROUND ZERO deaths from the cancer causing dust are counted in the death toll.

After 9/11 New York City and America shit down for a  while as flights were cancelled, New York baseball were cancelled. 

BTW, the old WORLD TRADE CENTER had been attacked by terrorists multiple times BEFORE 9/11/2001.  

9/11 set off a 20 years war between America and multiple countries in the Middle East.

The WORLD TRADE CENTERS were rebuilt recently.  

OSAMA BIN LADEN and terrorist group in Al Qaeda were considered the terrorists.

RIP to the jumpers who in desperation jumped from the WTC.  

9/11/2001 set off a wave of Islamaphobia as the terrorists were Islamic radicals. .

 

ITP V.026 EDITORS NOTE: 

Pretty scary few months in the fall of 2001 in New York. How has 9/11/2001 changed America? Can't bring a knife, gun or razor onto an airplane anymore. Getting VISA and work VISAS to visit and tour the U.S.A. are harder and more expensive.

ITP V.026 author is from New York city.and was very scared and worried on 9/11.  

   

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

FROM PIX11

 A legacy is kept alive and carried proudly through the Mercado family after losing Steve Mercado - FDNY 9/11 hero and former president of the NYESL. On Stickball Blvd, the game lives on, played by children and families across ages and generations.

 

 FROM SNY: 

 Mike Piazza's home run in the first baseball game on New York soil after the attacks on September 11th helped a nation heal.

 FROM METAL INJECTION: 

25 years ago today, on September 11, 2001, Slayer released their ninth full-length record, 'God Hates Us All.'

The timing remains unreal. So does the album.

What's your favorite track off of it?

ITP V.026 ONLY ONE PER COFFIN: R.I.P. MIKKO KARMILA (PRODUCER)

 

 Famed metal producer MIKKO KARMILA has died. 

 

 

 

 

FROM AMORPHIS: 

 

Sad news hit us this morning. Mikko Karmila, a producer and friend loved by all, has passed away.

Mikko worked on the production of several Amorphis albums. Sometimes as a vocalist, sometimes as a mixer. Sometimes both. Mikko was known to sound like a jerk, which generally speaking should be impossible. We have our own experiences with that.

Mikko practically lived at Finnvox’s C Studio, from which he produced, recorded and mixed an incredible amount of Finnish music. Mikko's sound was heard on numerous metal bands.

To our dear friends, loved ones and countless artists, whose careers he has helped move forward in his own way.

Rest in peace.

Esa, TomiK, Sande, TomiJ, Jan and Oppu

 

 SONATA ARCTICA: 

 

Mikko Karmila is gone.

We had the honour of working with Mikko Karmila on several Sonata Arctica albums throughout the years. He was a true professional, a master of his craft and an important part of the sound of Finnish metal.

Thank you, Mikko, for everything. Your work and legacy will live on in the music.

Our deepest condolences to Mikko’s family, loved ones and everyone who knew him.

Rest in peace, legend.

-Tony, Tommy, Henrik, Elias and Pasi

 

 FROM CHILDREN OF BODOM: 

Rest In Peace Mikko Karmila

An essential part of the Children of Bodom sound and a great friend.

Mikko was the same person in the studio as he was outside of it. Working with him always felt natural and relaxed. I had great respect for him and it was always inspiring to watch such a true professional at work. Rest in peace! — Jaska

I don’t think I have spent as much time in studio with anyone as I have with Mikko. An exceptional engineer. But above all, a wonderful human being. Rest in peace. — Henkka

Mikko was an integral part of the “bodom” sound and we worked with him from the second album until the very last. An amazing talent and a great friend. Rest in peace. — Janne
