OK, we could all see that one coming…

Did I say that the 8 game layoff would be a buzz-kill for the Rockies?  Jeez.  Two years in a row the team with the longest (Rockies) and 2nd longest (Tigers) layoffs in history go down rather quickly.  It’s just that you have to give the team with the shortest time from their high of winning the Championship Series the edge when it comes down in such lopsided fashion.  It’s just a major factor when there is such a huge difference in time such as the 8 game layoff vs. the Sox 3 game layoff.

Enough of that — Congrats to the Red Sox.

What I cannot stand is a Mr. Alex Rodriguez.  What the hell is with this guy?  Does he think he’s bigger than the game (yes)?  Boras talks to Ken Rosenthall and tells him that A-Rod is opting out.  I know why he did it….national stage and all of that, but jeez.  How classless can you be?  Can’t wait until today to let everyone know?  Thanks for trying to hog the spotlight you selfish bastards.

Continuing with Yankee news, Donnie Baseball is no longer with the Yanks.  Mr. Yankee himself has taken his ball and gone home.  He didn’t get the job and has let the team know he won’t be back as a coach next year.  That leaves Joe Girardi as the club’s new manager.  Good luck, Joe….you’re going to need it!  Hope you get Posada and Mo back…otherwise you might have some trouble next season!

Met news….Nope, nothing yet.
