I feel now it is a good time to say that I intend on using this blog for more than just election and campaign news. If you feel so inclined check back often for my opinions on everything from tacos to trade deadlines. I'm expanding!
Now I don't have any specific subject in mind right now so let me just vent about how STOKED I am that the A's traded for Matt Holliday today. For the first time since Jason Giambi (the rent-a-Thomas/Piazza tries don't count) Oakland has a legitimate big time slugger. This also leads me to believe that Beene and co. are looking to open up the wallet a little bit and dig this team in to contention for the AL West crown for years to come.
I would like to thank the Mariners for locking up all their show-ready prospects in a pipe dream (Bedard) and making the Glendale Angels of Burbank just that much closer to grab on to and climb over. Is it April yet?
In a related story, I hate football.
On a weekend where Penn State suffers a loss to Iowa, the Chargers have to squeak by Kansas City and the Ducks need the only complete drive of the season to pull out a win over Stanford all I could do was nap. I think I've had enough of high hopes crushed by injuries and hiccups, cold games in the rain, 2nd and 3rd hangovers of the day, and Al Michaels. Baseball, you now hold the top spot with NBA coming in second. Football, you're going to stay at 3rd now but expect a drop out of the top 10 if you wrong me again.
