The Inaugural Post

So I decided to join the billions of other a-holes online and start a baseball blog. This is nothing earth shattering, but I'd thought I'd start one of these babies up and maybe somewhere along the line someone will read one of my opinions.

A little about me:
I'm a fresh college graduate in the teaching field.
I love me some Yankees
I still manage to be fairly un-biased, despite the bad name a lot of us Yankees fans have.
I am deeply and hopelessly obsessed with the game of baseball.

Here's a couple quick thoughts for the night

MLB Network- pretty legit. The Don Larsen game was great, getting to hear Mel Allen and Vin Scully's combined voices for 9 innings was amazing. If there were strippers, beer, and pie...I would've been convinced that I had gone to heaven. The rest of the programming is solid, if a bit repetative.

Yankees Payroll- will be lower than last year...stop f'ing bitching about it.

Manny- Will find a home somewhere in CA and dominate the NL West, until he decides he doesn't want to, and will then sit in the clubhouse eating Easy Mac, nursing a "knee injury", and attempting to find Waldo in a sea of inexplicably similarly dressed people.

Pat Burell to the Rays- a solid pickup for a young team. Burell's veteran prescence and power bat will do a lot for the AL Champs, as long as he stays a DH.

Milton Bradley to the Cubs- Big Risk for the Cubbies. Bradley played out of this world last year, but remains an injury risk. I also think his character issues are blown out of proportion.

Holliday and Giambi to the A's- Nice addition's to the middle of the lineup for the A's. With the Angels losing their closer, and Teixeira, Oaktown could make a run.


Ok thats it for now.
