Things ....From the Week-end....Learned & More
Rain.....rain.......and more rain.......
In this southern college town.....the rain has been constantly ......sporadic....... Rain, sun, rain....This has been going on for the past seven days. The garden is loving it........the lawn is almost all green now. And the drought we've suffered the past couple of years........seems a distant memory.
Memorial Day, 2009........
Did you pause.......at 3:00 pm? And remember all the men and women of the armed forces who paid the ultimate price ......with their lives?
NBA Play-offs........
Neither Cleveland nor Los Angeles appear to be a sure thing for the finals.....Denver and Orlando are making their own cases. Cleveland.......except for that miracle shot by LeBron....should be down 0-3...........And the Lakers? They looked slow and un-physical last night. Kobe and LeBron...........could use some help. Can you hear me .......now?
Braves sweep Toronto.......
Yes..........the Atlanta Braves swept the Toronto Blue Jays ..........3 games to none....Hitting.......scoring runs.......great pitching.......These Braves are only a game and a half out of first place..........Who would of "thunk" it!
Here come the Yankees........
Given up for dead a week ago........the Yanks reeled off 7 in a row........with A-Rod back.....and are now within a game of Boston for the lead in the AL East. Still.......the best team .......money can buy.
Which was better? The Indy 500......or the Coca-cola 600?
The Indy race........with 300,000 fans.......looked good on TV..........but still no drama.......At Charlotte, the Coca-cola 600 had the misfortune of "mother natures' " rain.......Both failed me. Just wasn't interested.......Also ........at the Coca-cola 600 ......on Sunday.......The "fly by" by the Navy's f-14's.......was a bit premature.......They flew by .......in the middle of the "National Anthem".......as opposed to flying by ..........at the end........which is what was planned.
All in all?
A great week-end..........even though the sports world......was a bit.....sub par. But I guess thats what friends and families are for.

A 22-4......beat-down...........
Yesterday.......
In Major League Baseball.......the Atlanta Braves were beaten, 10-0.............Meanwhile the L A Angels got blasted, 9-2........and while all this was going on........Cincinnati was getting clobbered, 7-0.
These three teams suffered beat-downs ........but it was mild compared to our guys in pinstripes.
Yes........it's true.......No, your eyes are not deceiving you.
The best team money can buy.......laid an egg........and we couldn't be happier!
Of course.....those New York tabloids aren't..........

Santa Claus.......Mike Teixeira.....& the N Y Yankees
'Tis the season...........
'Twas the night before Christmas.......when all through the house.....
not a creature was stirring.....not even a mouse.....
Except ..........those ass-holes in the front office of the New York Yankees!
Mark Teixiera........here is an early Christmas gift. $180 million for 8 years! Yes, we are the Yankees..........we don't "haggle" over a couple of millions........Everyone else's offer to the former Anaheim Angel first baseman was between $140 million and $160 million. Let's get ....serious. Let's not bull-shit around. Let's blow everybody completely out of the water!
And in essence ......this is exactly what the Yankees did. $180 million
..........So Santa.......wears pinstripes.
The baseball world is up in arms.........."This is so unfair", they rail..........But is it?
Again.......we ask, "How much is a player worth?"..............and again we reply, "You're worth....exactly what someone will pay you".
So .......don't hate on the Yankees..........or Teixeira...........or sports..........or MLB........
Mark Teixeira happens to be able to do something .......only a precious few in the 2 billion plus populated earth.....can do......... Hit and catch a little round ball.
Merry Christmas Mr. Teixeira............and Merry Christmas to you too.......New York Yankees.

Meet C. C. (Cash Cow) Sabathia
When is.......enough.......enough?
When is.......too much....too much? When is ...."the sky's the limit".......the limit? When will the old saying, "Nobody's worth that kind of money" really apply? My thoughts? Never.......
C. C. Sabathia........from here on to be known as "Cash Cow"..........has agreed to a contract with the New York Yankees that will make him the highest paid pitcher in league history.
$161 million for 7 years........Simple math? Try $23 million per year.......
And the Yankees? They had offered $140 million for six years.......Sabathia waited......a month later? 7 years and $161 million. Do I blame him? Heck no........get it when you can it.....
But..........
Be prepared for everything.......and I mean ........everything .......New York has to offer.
This will not be Cleveland....or Milwaukee.......This is ..........New York City!
Sabathia, is only 28 years old.......and .......he is an American, born and raised in southern California. He lettered in three high school sports ( Football, baseball, and basketball) and had a scholarship offer to attend USC as a tight -end ..........
His major league career record as a starting pitcher is 117-73, with an earned run average of 3.66. A left-hander who stands 6' 7" and weighs 250 pounds.
But............
The post-season? Play-offs? Check this out:

Let us be the first to say this..........C. C. will never be able to live up to this contract......Never!
Can't win in the post season? You're a bum.......The N Y tabloids will be all over the "Cash Cow".
C. C. .......enjoy your new found wealth.......make sound investments....... for in a year or two....you will wish you were as far away from New York.......as you were the day you were born......SoCal...........
Don't ever say.....you were not warned........
And one more thing..........Damn the Yankees.......for still thinking they can just go out and buy a championship!

MLB Regular Season Roundup
It's over.......after 162 games.....6 months.....the Major League Baseball regular season is finally, mercifully over.
And, after 162 games........there was only one team to win 100.....(California Angels, 100-62). Two teams managed to lose over 100 games....(Washington Nationals, 59-102 and Seattle Mariners, 61-101). Only one team lost as many as they won, the Cleveland Indians, 81-81.
The six division winners were, in the NL, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles.....in the AL, Tampa Bay, Chicago, and Los Angeles.......with the wild cards going to Boston and Milwaukee.
The New York Mets did their annual choke job.......Minnesota was oh so close.......
The New York Yankees missed the post-season.......for the first time....in a long time.
Chipper Jones of the Braves won the batting title...........John Smoltz is a hit on TBS ........Barry Bonds still is without a team...........Manny is still Manny....and MLB lives on .....
Bring on the play-offs.
