Glenn and I debate this almost every day during the holidays. It’s time to call a truce. The first shot was fired a few years ago by people thinking that those of us that say “Merry Christmas” don’t care about other holidays and religions during this time of year. Not all of us feel that way. If somebody says “Happy Chanuka” to me, I have no problem saying it back. Just like I expect a “Merry Christmas” when I greet someone that way. It’s not so hard to respect others beliefs if there is a respect for mine. Enough with the “Happy Holidays” stuff. We might as well say “Happy Grey Area”.

Well, I read this morning that gun sales are up since Obama was elected. The two reasons that I was given were 1) Obama and Biden want to ban certain firearms and 2) The election of Obama will cause the end of the US because he has no experience. Let’s relax people.

I want the Rays to take on the Dodgers in the World Series in the worst way. The main reason is Hank Steinbrenner annoys me to no end. Hopefully in 2009 he learns to keep his big mouth shut until he has something more boss like to say. Read the rest of this entry »

Biki.com wants Sarah Palin to do a photo shoot in a bikini. She is in such demand according to an international poll that she has blown Pamela Anderson out of the water by 61% of the votes.  If McCain wins the White House, we could use Palin as a pin up girl for foreign leaders. What better way to say, “let’s work together” then with a visit from our sexy second in command. Read the rest of this entry »

In my opinion the follwing players need to go…
1. Robinson Cano (they should put him in a package with Kennedy or Hughes for an ace)
2. Jason Giambi (he’s too old and slow, don’t re sign him)
3. Carl Pavano (enough said)
4. Bobby Abreu (nice player, we could do better. don’t re sign him)
5. Hideki Matsui (getting old an injury prone)

Ultimately I think the Yankees should Read the rest of this entry »

I have to say yes, I know it’s foolish to count them out in the middle of August. They are in fact chasing a young inexperienced team in the Rays and a Red Sox team that isn’t as dangerous without Manny being Manny …The last time the team I live and die for missed the playoffs was 1993 and they should never be counted out with a 200 million dollar payroll and a handfull of future hall of famers (Jeter, ARod, Rivera), The problem with the 2008 version of the Yankees is Read the rest of this entry »

Did anyone catch the pregame ceremony at Yankee stadium before the All Star Game? I thought it was well done by FOX. There were a couple cheesy moments like Ernie Banks and George Brett clearly giving fake pep talks to the teams. I think the highlight of the ceremony was George Steinbrenner being driven out on a golf cart to meet the Yankee hall of famers for the cermonial first pitch.The Boss doesn’t put himself in the spotlight much anymore. Now I see why. Read the rest of this entry »

Charlize Theron who stars with Will Smith in the upcoming super hero movie “Hancock” tells the LA Times that if she could have one super power, it would be to see people naked without them knowing. If I could pick a super power, it would be the old Jedi Mind Trick. I would walk in the bosses office and say “Good morning, I’m worth $500,000 a year” with a wave of my hand in his direction he would reply “Dave, you are getting a raise to $500,000 a year”. Then I would say to him “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for, move along”

Well, it’s finally over. The Mets fired Willie Randolph. I still can’t figure out why they made him fly 3,000 miles to manage one game. I hope he got some frequent flyer miles it’s the least they can do for the man after making him waist fathers day night taking a dead man flight. Is it the most embarrassing moment in Mets history?? I vote for trading Nolan Ryan for Jim Fregosi and a bag of jock straps. Don’t worry Willie, you’re a Yankee anyway. Let’s get those pinstripes back on.
