CHANUKAH 2013 + BASEBALL

My friend Bonnie came over one of the nights and came bearing gifts. She also came with three different kind of latkes, applesauce, banana bread and pumpkin pie ! It's a holiday ! We had a lot of fun, we sang songs, we listened to Adam Sandler sing his Hannukka song and laughed our heads off.









Missing Roby, I know Chanukah was one of his favorite holidays. Did he make latkes too ?

Pitchers and Catchers report to Spring Training on February 15th. We are rapidly approaching the shortest day of the year, December 20th. After that, the days get longer. I need these games to deal with what passes for light around here in this season. Relentless grey...For those of us addicted to baseball, listen up. Jared Saltamacchia will NOT be returning to the Red Sox - he's going to the Marlins instead...hmm. Also, Jacoby Ellsbury will NOT be returning to the Red Sox. This is really bad + quite frankly, the ultimate betrayal! Think Johnny Damon, another turncoat !  He  is  going to  the Yankees - 7 year, $153 million contract. Sox fans will be merciless when he takes the field next season....

NEWSFLASH:  2:40 pm

Cano reportedly agrees to deal with Mariners

Sides said to be in accord on 10 year $240 million contract; 


“Couldn’t be happier for him and for us," Pedroia wrote in a text. "We don’t have to face him 19 times a year.“

I thought so, thanks Bernice :)

aha, I did not know your daughter Barbara is a Yankees fan....well, she must not be too happy to hear that Robinson Cano, a dreaded Yankee, one of their best players, flew to Seattle yesterday to talk to the Mariners !! mmm, since we just lost Ellsbury, that would be justice !

"Cano’s agent, rapper Jay-Z, was already in Seattle on Thursday talking with Mariners management, ESPN reports. According to the sports network, the Mariners have offered Cano a nine-year, $225 million contract." Yikes !

NEWSFLASH: Cano turned down that offer. Now it's about negotiations and the politics of baseball -maybe he'll take the New York Yankees’ reported offer of $175 million over seven years. Stay tuned...
