2月20日 My Disappointment with the AHL (American Hockey League)Tonight I was at the Hershey Bears/Wilkes-Barre Penguins game at the Wachovia Arena. The game I was to prior was also against the Hershey Bears. Over the past few games I've noticed a few things that the AHL really needs to improve on.
I wish someone in the AHL offices could here me. If someone can, please sound off. 1月7日 Ohio State vs LSU Tonight!It's been awhile since I've posted anywhere as I've been extremely busy. However, I'm going to try to ramp up my posts this year. Be sure to catch the Buckeyes tonight as they face the Tigers in New Orleans. 10月18日 Torre's Gone - Steinbrenner's to BlameIt's a sad day for Yankee fans as Joe Torre turned down a pathetic 1 year contract offer by the New York Yankees. Apparently the old boss and the "new blood" of Hank and Hal didn't see Torre's impact. However, the fans did. Torre turned the team around from a dismal early 90's team to be a power house in the AL East. With 12 straight postseason appearances, he led the team with pride and dignity. Now, because the players can't hit (or pitch) in October (except for the homegrown talent), he's at fault? How about the Steinbrenner's decision's to bring back Clemens (waste), bring in Carl Pavano (waste), bring in Giambi (started off ok, but he's been a waste), etc. In my opinion, he should have been offered a 3 or 4 year contract with incentives. Not a 1 year. What a slap in the face.
Although I'm a Yankees fan and Mattingly will likely be the coach next year, I wish the team would tank just to show the young boys their bad decision. It's great that Mattingly will get his chance (I'm probably the biggest Donnie Baseball fan), but it could of waited a few years. Now he's going to be under unneeded pressure.
Hank, Hal, and the rest of the Yankee front office, I hope you're happy. I hope you realize that you screwed up and instead of next year's focus on the All Star Game and it being the last year at Yankee Stadium, it's going to be about your completely, ridiculous decision. 10月9日 Yankees Are Down And OutWell, last night the New York Yankees lost and are out of the playoffs early losing in the Divisional Series for the third year in a row. The big question now facing the Yankees is around Joe Torre's future. But is that fair? Let's evaluate a few things:
So no, it is not fair. Joe Torre prepared the Yankees for the playoffs but ultimately it's the players that need to deliver. The reason they lost was because of the veteran players. With the exception of Damon and Pettite, the rest of the team failed. The young guys were the ones that delivered. Look at Cano -- he had 2 home runs and batted .333. Shelly Duncan, in limited play, went 2 for 4. Duncan had almost as many hits as Jeter and Matsui and had only 4 at bats. Joba Chamberlain pitched pretty well despite giving up 1 run in Game 3 and 1 in Game 2 while battling bugs. Phil Hughes came up in relief of Roger Clemens and pitched 3.2 scoreless innings keeping the Yankees in the game and allowing them to win that Game 3. Cashman and Torre both pushed these young guys. These guys were the ones jumping around, giving high fives, and providing clutch performances down the stretch. So, Torre and Cashman, your jobs would be safe if I had the money the Boss-man does. George, please do the right thing and resign Torre and keep Cashman. If you do, you will be rewarded. Remember back to the stretch of series victories you had. The young guys won it for you (Jeter, Pettite, Rivera, etc). 10月1日 MLB First Round PredictionsIt's been awhile since I've posted to my blogs. I've been very busy lately with numerous projects and haven't had the time. Since last I've posted, the SWB Yankees made it to the postseason and lost. The NY Yankees made it to the postseason as the wildcard. And, the Miami Dolphins started out 0-4. But, putting that all aside, nothing matters in the next month+ but the MLB playoffs. Here are my first round predictions:
My early prediction for the World Series is that the winner will come from the American League and will most likely be the winner of the Yankees/Indians series. 7月23日 Setup my Xbox Elite 360Over the weekend I decided to exchange my Xbox 360 premium for the Elite edition. The biggest change I noticed that is unpublished is how quiet the thing now runs. I would definately recommend the update! 5月2日 Phil Hughes Injures HimselfWell, the NY Yankees called up Phil Hughes early and what happens? He injures himself as he was in the middle of pitching a no-hitter in the seventh. What a joke! Who's getting called up next?

4月6日 Mahna, MahnaI just found the You Tube for the Muppets Mahna, Mahna at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YevYBsShxNs. It was played at last nights SWB Yankees game in between innings. 2月9日 Nasreddine Figurine For SaleCheck out my latest eBay auction to find an Alain Nasreddine figurine for sale. 12月13日 Scranton Wilkes-Barre YankeesIt's official. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons are no more. The team, now affiliated with the New York Yankees will be called the Scranton Wilkes-Barre Yankees. The official announcement can be read at http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/app/news/article.jsp?ymd=20061212&content_id=148360&vkey=news_milb&fext=.jsp. Visit http://www.swbyankees.com today for more information about the team. 11月12日 Black Friday AdvertisementsVisit http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/ for some of the Black Friday ads. 10月11日 Cory Lidle Killed In Plane CrashIt's difficult to lose anyone. It's especially difficult to lose a "goodwill embasador" like Cory Lidle. At approximately 2:30pm today, a plane that Cory Lidle was piloting crashed into a 50 story building in New York City. It's a complete shock when a tragedy like this occurs. It's really shocking because of the circumstance. How often do we see anyone crash into a building in NYC. Terrorism came to mind. And yet, it had nothing to do with terrorism. Really, there's not much more anyone can say except for prayers for the family of Cory Lidle.
For more information, visit NBC at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15223650/?GT1=8618 10月9日 Torre Should StayAlthough the papers and early reports give every indication that Joe Torre will be fired or forced to resign, I personally think he should stay -- and so do the other Yankee fans I've talked to in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area, the new location for the Yankees AAA baseball team. Critics are playing too big a part in the Yankees failure lately putting the pressure on the team that makes "over 200 million dollars." Guarenteed if Alex Rodriguez made 5 million a year instead of 25 million, everyone would say that he's playing excellent. However, they expect that if you make 25 million that every year you need to hit .340, 150 RBIs, and 50+ home runs. Question is, how many teams out there wouldn't mind having A-Rod's .290 average, 120 RBIs, and 35 home runs he hit this year? It's just different because its the Yankees. The Yankees that haven't shown any let up during this post season included Derek Jeter who hit over .500, Jorge Posada who has been unbelievable this year, and Bobby Abreu who has shown that even though he's playing in New York and making a decent paycheck that he can still deliver. Dolphins Lose, Getting BetterI must say that although the Miami Dolphins lost to the New England Patriots, they definately looked much better. The CBs and OL looked like they should have all along. The Patriots didn't get to Harrington who seemed to be throwing the ball pretty good and the defense held New England to 116 yards in 3 quarters of play. Hopefully they will turn things around very quickly. However, they will need to go at least 8-3 to equal or better their record of last year. |
