Are you kidding me ?!?!

What in the world has professional Baseball come to ?


First off we have Alex Rodriquez .
Arguably one of the best baseball players of our time . Some would say ever . He was one of my favorites. I put the emphasis on "was". Back in 2003 he signed a ludicrous deal with the Texas Rangers for the highest salary ever by a player, then said that he did it for the love of the game . WHAT !?!? Now he is labeled as a player that used illegal drugs during his time there . Love of the game huh ?

Next we have Manny Ramirez
Again one of the fan favorites and one of mine . He gets offered a contract for 2 years 35 million dollars back during the election and what does he do ? HE REJECTS IT !! Are you kidding me?! Says he won't play for less than 25 Million a year . So they offer him 1 year at 25 million . He declines that ! Newest offer was 2 year at 45 MILLION DOLLARS !!!!! Guess what .....he declines that !!!!

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the game of Baseball, but this is getting to the point that I would rather get regular Joes who would play just to play the game and have no super stars .

Apparently they haven't heard about the recession . Neither have the Yankees, but that's a blog for another time .

This blog is presented by the letter "S"

Two words that start with the letter " S " are Surgery and Snow and I had both done within the last 2 weeks .

My surgery went real smooth except for the excessive talking I did coming out of surgery.

Not alot to talk about except everything got fixed and now starts the fun part THERAPY !!

Now, snow is the other word that starts with " S " and boy did we get it. This is a creek close to our house and it was beautiful .

My daughter Taylor has a good eye when it comes to photography . We were having some fun .


Since I can't do any excessive lifting, my wife Kim decided to help Jacob with an igloo . He made it just big enough o fit inside of it .

This was the first real snow that Jacob has ever seen being that he is only 6 .

I thank God we didn't loose power and we also managed to stay warm . Hope to see one last good snow before the Spring shows up .
