103.9 The Breeze

I know I wrote about the New York Rangers yesterday but I just had to again today. Their improbable comeback over the Penguins is still resonating all over the Capital Region with the always passionate Ranger fans. They will have a tall task in beating a very talented Carolina Hurricane team who won their division in the Metropolitan Conference. I do like the Rangers chances to advance to the Eastern Conference finals, but it won't be easy. Here is my quick take on this from the Times Union:

The heat is raised on a national manhunt for the Cohoes man wanted for murder in an infant’s overdose death. On December 3, 2019, six-week-old Eli Harmon-Ojeda was killed after ingesting “toxic levels of methamphetamines” at the apartment of Anthony Ojeda and Neil Garzon. Harmon-Ojeda’s body had also sustained physical trauma to the ribs and head.

One of Saratoga's most beautiful and delicious places to eat is getting a fresh, new feel. When it comes a summertime day or night out, especially for eating out, Saratoga Springs is simply a great destination. Whether it is for a day at the track, or a pre-SPAC concert warm-up, it's the perfect city to pair a meal out with whatever summer fun you are partaking in. When you head out to one of your favorite outdoor dining spots this summer, it will have a fresh new name and menu!

Nobody does a hall of fame like New York does. Our state has everything from halls of fame dedicated to great scientists, writers, politicians, dancers, and a hundred other topics. Lets talk for a minute about the wonderful sports halls of fame and museums located in Upstate New York. We...

Let's take a journey back into the past, shall we?. Now, we may not be able to drive 88 MPH and make this happen (yet), but we can still dive back into the history books, and learn a bit more about the glorious past of the Capital Region. As I've written about in the past, Albany was named the capital of New York in 1797, but has a history that dates back at least a century prior.

What you are about to see is a snapshot, a moment in time, that represents the heroics of New York State first responders. These men and women that serve and protect us day in and day out risk it all for people they have never met. The video below is a reminder of just how fortunate we are to have these brave individuals in our great state.

Upstate New Yorkers tend to look at our Big Apple brethren with a bit of disdain. "NYC isn't a good representation of what the rest of the state is," is a common talking point up here. And New York City folk, of course, tend to forget that there's a huge area of the state that doesn't revolve around them.

With gun violence in New York State grabbing national headlines, it’s heartbreaking to see a story like this in the Capital Region, involving suspects so young. Three teenagers are charged with felonies after being caught driving a stolen vehicle by Albany County Sheriff’s Deputies over the weekend. According...

The saying, "we learn from our mistakes," is as old as time. Look back in your life ten years and I'd be surprised if you didn't wish you handled certain situations differently. When you are in a starting pitching rotation for the New York Yankees and for the first time in your career things are really rolling, it's hard when those mistakes are maliciously revealed.

I am 55 years old and have been fortunate to have traveled all around the United States over the years. In that time I have seen black bear, fox, deer, alligator, flamingo and all types of wild animals. Only 1 time did I see a moose. As uncommon as a...

Move over Syracuse, there is a sports dome coming to the Capital Region and it's not going to be used for a college team. It's being built for a local high school. On Friday, May 13th, it was announced that a local high school would be getting a sports dome. It was done at an event called BronationDay at Christian Brothers Academy. This is their end-of-year barbeque. Christian Brothers Academy raised enough money to build a new sports dome. It will be the first high school in the Capital Region to have an all-season dome.

They say it was a long investigation, but the Saratoga County Sheriff's Office says a person responsible for methamphetamine sales throughout Saratoga County has been caught. Cops arrested 19 year old Raven Stables of Saratoga Springs at a traffic stop on Thursday.

Stables was pulled over on Rowland Street in the Town of Milton due to a number of active warrants from the towns of Milton, Moreau and Malta. Police say she missed a number of previously scheduled court dates.

The Stanley Cup Playoffs are in full-swing, and New York Rangers' fans got to experience one of the most dramatic moments anywhere in sports: a Game 7, at home.

Most of New York state's counties are now falling under the CDC's "high" COVID community level designation. Chances are over the last few weeks it probably seems like everyone you know has been coming down with COVID. I know in our circle of friends in Clifton Park, I think everyone has had at least one member of their family if not several come down with the virus recently. So the latest COVID level news should come as no surprise.
