Cassidy

Cassidy
We were flying thru the desert
In the middle of the night.
We stopped and watched
the moon rise over the foothills.
We jumped out of the car and 
looked for the shot.
Pebbles and sand cracked and rolled
under our footsteps.
I do not remember another soul around.
The deserted adobe building
shadowed in the darkness.
The heat did not envelope us
like it did during the day.
Back in the car,
I promised to get you to
California.

Francona

He may be Baaaaaaaccckkkkkk???????

http://www.google.com/Terry Francona - what have we done here? The controversy swirls and the hits just keep coming. Personally, I believe he did a good job.However, how do you explain September collapse? There is no excuse for that train wreck. Nothing he did could pull the team back from the abyss. Once it all started South, it just kept right on going. Most of the blame is going to the pitchers (Beckett, Lester, Lackey,Wakefield) Just give me 5 innings? 4? Rumors going to Cubs with Theo?? No, Cubs hired Dale Sveum - Sox are at Bobby Valentine (Please - No) Well, what do we have here?? December and Bobby V is the new manager! Guess they don't listen to me! Tito is just going to exchange seats and become baseball analyst on the tube! This could be very interesting and Bobby could very well do a good job. Some say he will kick some butt which (it is said) the Sox definitely needed down the stretch in
September. All they needed was one stupid win in there and they
would have been in! St. Louis won the series as a wild card!

Tim Thomas


Tim Thomas did not accompany his team to White House
and his actions have been misinterpreted by too many people! 
Hell, he's a hockey player! His statement about
inaction on the government level is appropriate.
 Just let the guy alone!

And what a finish to a great season, Stanley Cup, Smythe, Vezina 
- incredible collection for a guy who wasn't playing every day
 and, in fact, was insurance for Tuuka Rask - we saw Tuuka in
March let in 2 goals before we even sat down at our seats. 
Needless to say, that may have  been the turning point.

San Francisco Peaks


San Francisco Peaks  So, we were Driving and these showed up on the horizon. We were going to drive
right through them and I was hoping not over them. Then we get sort of robbed on the other side at a gas station for tires. But that's another story - on one hand, we needed new tires, on the other, not  just then and not those FIRESTONE tires! But then, hey we were driving, things happen on the road!!

Pujols

Pujols and its absolutely amazing how many people don't know this guy. In New England he's like invisible. You gotta be a devoted baseball guy to realize how good he is. What's going to be even more incredible is he will be gone and people will ask "When did he play?" Just won a Gold Glove although
I totally believe half the voters don't have a clue. They go "Who won last year? Oh, Ok - check"
Now we have the 300 million for 10 years!  I have a tough time realizing the value at the back end of his contract. Given his age. Maybe the DH will make it worthwhile with the AL and the Angels. Maybe the Northeast will get to see more of him. Most certainly.
And in 2011 - they are back in the World Series versus the Texas Rangers (making a return engagement)
AND - St Louis just won game 7 and the World Series in dramatic fashion over the Texans, Game 6 was incredible except for the fact it finished at 1:30 AM in the 11th inning and there was no way I could keep my eyes open that long!!!

Nadal

Nadal had a great US Open and finally won all 4 Majors. Rafa d. Novak. Some put Nadal above Federer and they could be right. Some have said this is not the Age of Fed but the Age of Nadal. Nadal is going to eclipse Roger.  Interesting debate I suppose. Fed eclipsed  Pete - so the story goes.  It does not bother me one way or the other. It's just great tennis and a whole lot of fun to watch. I was rehabbing my leg and the whole 2 weeks consumed me. It was great and totally took my mind off of my stupid insane surgery.
