Baseball!
Ok, congratulations to the New York Yankees on winning the World Series for their 27th championship. While I have not been a die hard Yanks fan for many years now, I admit to rooting for them against the Phillies. Except Texeria. Couldn't do it and was glad to see him strike out to end a threat. As it is, his ego is likely to be even further off the charts. Just because someone has the money to pay you an insane amount, it doesn't mean you are the greatest Yankees first baseman ever. There was a fellow there for a few years named Lou Gehrig and you aren't even within shouting distance of his shadow yet. Heck, you aren't even Chris Chamblis yet. But we'll see how it goes. Gay-Rod is starting to come around, so there may be hope for you.
Mr. Jeter, Mr. Petite, Mr. Rivera and Mr. Posada are real Yankees to me. They are the ones I was rooting most for.
The Rangers announced the signing today of Clint Hurdle to be their next hitting coach. I was looking at the Cardinals decision to hire Mark McGwire and thought maybe Texas should consider Rafael Palmeiro...
Word around the metroplex is that Hurdle has really been hired to be the next manager of the Rangers. I hope not. I was hoping they would continue to develop small ball mentality with Ron Washington. We need a centerfielder that can fly for our park. I worry that maybe Hurdle is bringing the Colorado approach to Arlington. Except we aren't 5200 feet up.

Hated to see Rudy Jaramillo go, but I suspect that the move will be better for both parties. Well, better for both if Hurdle doesn't muck things up by trying to change the whole batting philosophy. Jaramillo should have a real positive influence on the cubbies.
As for the NYY -- yawn. I'm in the market, get the games on tv, and still haven't been able to develop any kind of affection for this group. Yes, it's great to see Jeter and the old core get a ring that validates the ones from their youth, but the whole team exudes that aura you so dislike in Teixiera.
I've been to Rafael Palmeiro's house!
Q - were you dropping off the 'roids?? (i kid, i kid)
Rob, the Rangers hitting hasn't been good in a long time. the stats this team threw up (not a misspelling) this season were really bad. I HOPE he does arrive with some changes to batting philosophy. While there were instances of the team doing the right thing, much of the year was spent waiting for big innings which never happened. Take away April and Ian Kinsler was not good at all! Josh Hamilton may have just had the career down year or been exposed. We'll see.
Do I look like a drug dealer to you?!? I was there to fix his car, actually. Which he had trouble getting to because he had so many garage doors that he couldn't figure out which buttons to push on his giant remote.
I need to start blogging again. I miss reading your stuff :o)
