A Slice of the Action

The baseball playoffs are upon us, and once again the Yankees are enabling hizzoner's gambling habit. The Bronx Bombers managed to scrape themselves into postseason play, prompting Bloomie to place a bet on the Yankees-Angels series with Anaheim's mayor, Curt Pringle. If the Angels win, Mayor Mike will cough up "some of New York's best to the people of Anaheim, including two dozen hot dogs from Nathan's Famous, two pounds each of pastrami, corned beef and brisket, three loaves of jumbo seedless rye bread and two pounds of mustard from Katz's Deli, and two Pizza alla Vodka pies from Goodfella's...

Mike Piazza, New York Catcher

"When you're 25, you can eat hamburgers and pizza and drink beer and stay out all night and come out the next day and drink a couple cups of coffee and just play. If I did that today, my heart would stop and I'd need a stretcher and an IV. I started kind of noticing that in my early 30's, and now that I'm in my mid-to-late 30's, it's even that much more." — Mike Piazza, catcher, New York Mets As Bodies Mull Retirement, 2 Aging Baseball Stars Play On [New York Times] Photograph by Sue Ogrocki/Reuters Thanks to...

Race Baiting

Domino's, purveyor of such dreck as the Doublemelt, is holding a contest to find America's biggest pizza fanatic. Not big as in girth, but big as in enthusiastic (though we suspect the two might go hand in hand). The winner gets to take a friend to to a VIP NASCAR weekend September 9 and 10 at Richmond International Raceway. The vee-eye-pizzas get to meet Michael Waltrip, who'll be driving the Domino's car in those races. We know we've got some pizza fanatics among our Slice readers, and we'd love to see one of you win this (and take pix and...

FOS (Friend of Slice) H.S. digs into (but doesn't dig) a lackluster slice (above right) at Shea.

Former Deliveryman

This, from CNN.com: Tim Petrovic was another stroke behind after a 66, and he was on another kind of bubble. The former pizza deliveryman is 41st on the money list, and appears to be a shoo-in to wind up in the top 40 and qualify for the Masters. I don't really follow golf, so Petrovic's former career as pizza driver is news to me....
