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.
