HOLY COW!!

OK, I know that Bill White and Phil Rizzuto haven't broadcast a game together on WPIX here in the NY Metro area for a long time, but I had to quote Rizzuto in this post's title.

Alex Rodriguez hit a 3 run home run today, his 10th of the young season and his second walk off home run (the other was a grand slam). I'm happy to see that he's finally having fun again and the fans are giving him the respect he deserves. I feel that he's one of the best all around ball players ever to play in the majors. How do you argue with his career numbers? He has a career .306 average, 474 home runs, has almost 2,100 hits, has won three Gold Gloves (two at shortstop and one at third base), and he' not even 33 years old yet. All I can say is that the fans here in NY better not forget this if he hits a slump later this season.

The Yanks are headed up to Boston for a weekend series beginning tomorrow. Hopefully this magic continues.

Mr. Mom - The Sequel

So we're back from S.C. and all I have to say is thank God for the DVD player! It was nice to see everyone.

Again, I'm sorry that I haven't been posting or getting to to may of your blogs, but I was laid off from my job just before we left for South Carolina. I've been home with my daughter during the day and have spent most of my free time talking to recuiters and applying for jobs. I guess I should have known that when a small company called me out of the blue six months ago to come and work for them (more money and closer to home) that it was too good to be true. I was told they were looking to change and grow by the VP in the interview, but when he "quit", things slowly went back to the way they were and over the next three months, most people he hired were also let go.

I will do my best to check in when I can. For now, I'm not sure how much I'll be posting since I have other things I have to take care of. (like upgrading the electric in the house; "220, 221.......whatever it takes")
