MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME!!!!

I have been greatly blessed by the Yankees this offseason.

It was definitely not a fun thing for any Yankee fan last postseason. I'm used to watching my boys play in October. But since that happened, I knew my Yankees would be ready to fight next season. Heaven forbid that happen two years in a row, right? But I wasn't worried, the Yankee Gods would never allow that ;) Thanks to my favorite General Manager in the world, BRIAN CASHMAN, the Yankees have pretty much done what they have needed to make it happen next year. First, the Yankees needed some starting pitching so they picked up Mr. CC Sabathia aka 2007 AL Cy Young winner along with A.J Burnett who had 18 wins playing in the AL East with the Blue Jays last year. They will be in a rotation with Chien Ming Wang (our former ACE yeah yeah), Joba Chamberlain, and most likely Andy Pettitte. Pretty sweet huh!? Then today I got the FANTASTIC news that they signed MARK TEIXEIRA a solid 1st baseman to replace Mr. Jason Giambi.

For anyone that doesn't know a lot about baseball...

This is HUGE. :)

Keep in mind Yankee haters that the Yankees have let go of almost $80 million in payroll this year after letting go of players Bobby Abreu, Giambi, Mike Mussina, Carl Pavano, Andy Pettitte and Ivan Rodriguez. So...there were holes to fill and extra money because of it.


I am SO excited for Spring. Go Yankees.

YAY!!!!

Yay for the Phillies.

Yeah I'm excited they won but only because I didn't want the Rays to win it. And Boston. No longer World Champs hahahaha....anyway I guess it was an OKAY World Series, and I hate this, but I had to miss a lot of it because our Mstar TV service always likes to stop working. Its ok though because I feel I spent all my energy on the ALCS. I am glad this year is over though. Onto a new season. I am way sad that baseball is over though. It is always a little bit of a letdown when the WS is over. Luckily though they are doing the World Baseball Classic next year so we will get baseball a month early. Enjoy the pics. I wish it were the Yankees.

You have no idea how happy I am.

Am I happy about the Tampa Bay Rays winning the AL pennant? No. I'm really not. What I am happy about, is that the Red Sox didn't win it. I really hate the Red Sox. I just really do. They really bother me, especially when I see them win. It drives me absolutely insane and it is probably because I am a really competitive person. I was so upset when they won the World Series last year. It's like...if it can't be the Yankees, then let it be any team but them!!! So lets just say that when Tampa Bay won game 7 of the ALCS on Sunday and eliminated the Red Sox, I was beyond happy. I was so happy I was laughing hysterically. Especially when they showed Josh Beckett's reaction to the last out. I wish I could find a picture of that. Another reason I am happy about it, is because I know that if the Red Sox made it to the WS, they would win it. They just would and and I would be really mad. Now they don't even get that chance. Ahhhh!!!!!! :) :) :)

That was a great series though. Gotta love baseball!!!! :)












Now for the Rays. Yes, I think it is a cool story. Worst to first blah blah. But now, how can I cheer for a team that was one of the reasons the Yanks missed the playoffs? A team that is going to give my team some serious division competition next year? I rooted for them in the ALCS simply because they were the lesser of two evils. So yeah....even though I am all for the American League, I just don't think I can root for them to win it all. And I will be honest, it is hard not to like those guys. They are a bunch of guys MY AGE that have overcome A LOT of odds and are actually a great baseball team. (obviously).

BUT.....

you won't see me jumping on that bandwagon.


GO PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!

jdbgfibcergfyegfuyebdisahd

no way. no way.

I am so furious.

no way.


At least they are still up in the series.

One more game guys, one more game.

I'm crossing my fingers...

Pictures from the Demolition

Today ESPN has been describing last night's game between the Red Sox and Rays as a "demolition". I think it is a great word. How else can you describe a blowout 13-4 win??!? At FENWAY???? hahahaha. You have no idea how HAPPY it makes me to know that the Red Sox are ONE loss away from missing the World Series. yes. yes. YES!!!! :) :) I hope the Rays wrap this one up quick. I think I just might go crazy if Boston comes back again. ahh. Anyway...here are some pics. :)





















Where are all the fans? oh yeah...they left.






Love it.
Love it.
LOVE IT.
:)

Quick pics from yesterdays ALCS game

Unfortunately I was at WORK and SCHOOL during this game, but GAMECAST always saves the day. Here are some pics from the Rays great win. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



First of all, for some reason I find Evan Longoria attractive. Yes. :)



He looks happy. hahahahaha


Evan is an AWESOME October baseball player! Yay!



Hahahaha

This is a good one hahahaha



So is this



Haha sorry can you tell I feel really bad for the Sox??



OOPS hahaha





9-1 is a huge win at Fenway!! I am so excited. I hope the Rays can keep this momentum up. Im so excited for the game that comes on in a few minutes. If they can go up 3-1 ill be so freaking happy! The Red Sox cannot get to the World Series. Ahh they absolutely cannot.

One more thing....I'm loving seeing Harold Reynolds back in action on TBS. I've missed him. I'm happy he has this opportunity!!

ALCS

I'm loving this series already. I am so happy that the Rays tied up the series on Saturday. If they had not of, this wouldn't be looking pretty! Even though the game was about 5 1/2 hours long, it was one of the most intense games I've seen for awhile!! :)


Yep Coco, it's gone :)
