Update

Hey Everyone - The blog has been pretty quiet lately other than sports news. I figured it was time for some updates from everyone. What is happening around the country?
What is up with us you ask? Well, Pete and I got a much needed vacation last month. It was our first time in over 2 years to get away. We went to Isle of Palms in SC. We had a great time. We relaxed on the beach, and visited Charleston.
Will just turned one at the beginning of October and started walking a couple of days before his birthday. He is high energy and a little love. Nate is almost 3 and is enjoying school and is in a gymnastics class which he calls chia. We are not really sure why but he likes to jump off of things and yell "CHIA." He also out of diapers and in a real bed. He is growing up.
I also have some big news. I saw a plastic surgeon last week and in 6 months I am finally going to have a breast reduction. I can't wait. It is something I have been looking forward to for 20 years.

Sigh...

Fucking Red Sox... :(

Thoughts on Torre

I am sorry to see Joe Torre leave the Yankees. Seriously. He is the classiest man in baseball. As a Yankee Hater, you still could never find a negative word to say about Joe. Yankee ownership should be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves. They really gave Joe no choice. One year with a 2 million pay cut and incentives. Guaranteed extensin with WS appearance...what kinda crap is that? So Joe could deal with another year of questions about his future..he is too good for that.

Cashman and Levine should be on the hook for their stupid overayment of the bottle rocket. 20 million for a .500 recod and an era over 6. Not to mention that he was unable to get past three innings in the ALDS. Lets not forget the other stupid contracts given to Giambi, Pavano, and the countless pitchers that didn't last more than a season or had crappy results. I know you can list them; Johnson, Contreras(they should have kept), Jared Wright(damaged goods)..etc..etc. Why is that Cashman has not had to answer for his terrible decisions with pitchers? How is it that the guy who manages to get a team to battle back from 14.5 down to make the playoffs gets squeezed? How do yankee fans root for this team?

Good for Joe. He deserves much better than to put up with the demeaning and belittling management style that comes from the yankee front office. He was only showing up due to his loyalty to players like Jeter, Posada and Rivera. I guess that is over. Sorry yankee fans but this must be a dark day in your history, fankly its a dark day for baseball. They essentially pushed out a hall of fame manager that had 12 straight post season appearances with 6 pennants and 4 WS rings. Find me anyone with a better track record in the post free agency era. Fools. I wish Joe luck in his next move as he has promised to keep managing. Don'

Coyotes and Rabbits and Spiders, Oh My!

Here's a shot of a friendly visitor that arrived this morning. We've seen lots of tarantulas lately. They migrate.

So Sorry Yankee fans. Unfortunately, this looks like the end of an era. Seriously though, I love Joe Torre and for your sake hope he doesn't go. The Yankee Hater in me wants to see him go because I just can't imagine anyone else handling a ball club of superstars in New York.

As far as this post, Kenny, I would have said nothing. But I just can't resist. Ya know, never cut down someone when your team is still in it, Karma has a way of biting you in the ass.

I guess its on to football...oh, another sore point. Well, pitchers and catchers report in 4 months!
