P.S.....Rocket got to see some of my Yankee stuff, I aint blowin smoke, the're my boys

Yes, spring training is just around the corner so why not? I awoke to the banner headline of  the trade. Mixed emotions on this one. Latos was erratically brilliant and could end up as their ace if they figure out how to coach him. His mental game is the key. We get a vet starter  with baggage coming off TJ surgery and a drug issue with some good prospects tossed in. Can our great staff get him working again? The Yankees have a tough road ahead with the Angels now packed to the brim with threats. Glad to see the monster slugger over on the other side this year. He owned us.

Shreddy,

I hope I am wrong, but, I don't think Albert will be as good with the Angels as he was with the Cardinals, his mojo is in STL!!! Another 4 weeks and then we have our Winter Warm-ups!  Adam Wainwright returning and Carlos Beltran, Berkman, Molina, Freese, Craig..... It's gonna be a great year!

You guys signed Beltran, good luck, that warm climate will help him I believe. My friend Tim who grew up in Anaheim says Albert will struggle, the ball doesnt carry all that well.

Tres,

Your post stopped me in my tracks, this is VERY SAD and so unnecessary, so sorry to hear this.  Just a real shame for all the loved ones involved.

I've been driving since I was 17, I'm now 55. I had the most bizarre experience right before Thanksgiving.  I was in the fast lane of a 2 lane, narrow high-speed and dangerous expressway in Philly, I-76, the Schuykill Expressway.  Out of nowhere, I looked in my rear-view mirror and a car was so close to my bumper, I couldn't even see his headlights.  I thought he was trying to kill me, he had road rage, I was going to die...I tried to switch lanes, but couldn't get in and my instinct was to step on the gas to get distance between us. Then the flashers went on and I saw it was a cop pulling me over. The road is so narrow and dangerous, the cop knocked on my passenger window, I jumped a foot high and was shaking.  He was yelling at me for not moving over, he wanted the guy 2 cars in front of me, I caused him to loose him!!  He said I should have taken my foot off the gas, I would have been able to move then. (when I got home, hubby said the same thing, instinct had me doing the opposite) He was furious and pissed at me, took my drivers liscense and went back to his car for 10 minutes. Another cop car was behind him for back-up. I was kinda' frozen, and really shaken up, was by myself, didn't even call anybody.  When he came back he gave me my license, no ticket or anything, the cop made a jerky remark like you may drive like this in Jersey but we don't drive like this in Pennsylvania, you should have moved over. I told him I thought he was trying to kill me by riding my arse..he just kinda' looked at me and turned and left!! When I was sitting there I was wondering what he could give me a ticket for? And when he checked me out, he couldn't even find anything on my driving record, I haven't had a moving violation since I was 17. I'm an excellent driver and am always looking in my mirrors... the only thing I maybe do is step on the gas a little heavy sometimes, I can't stand slow drivers in the fast lane either...

What I learned:
I should have put my right turn signal on to show I was trying to move over, whether it was a bad driver or a cop behind me, the person in the other vehicle would have been less angry, maybe. You can't mess with road rage, you can get killed. (there was no room for me to move over-it was really dangerous and the guy in front of me was probably stepping on the gas because I was creeping up on him)

I should have got that cop's name & badge number, I feel like someday in the future I'll read or see something on the news about a high speed chase accident.  The cop was a hot head and displayed dangerous behavior.

Back to baseball players etc. I'm a big Roy Halladay fan.

Tres,
I think the cop pulled me over because he was furious his high speed chase failed.  He was looking to find something on me maybe to compensate? Then gets me with a clean record and it was my birthday, which I'm sure he noticed from the liscense.  I was definitely driving over the speed limit by the time he pulled me over...I would have fought a ticket on principle!

Another thing I took away from it...my music was too loud.  He sounded his siren for a second without the lights, so he said, he didn't want to tip off the guy he was after. If I heard anything, I thought it was coming from my stereo.  In my rearview mirror, he looked like a maniac trying to kiss my bumper...

Agreed, lame excuse for the Atlanta chase...so sad...

Jdawg,
I know I sound old, but I often am amazed at how folks don't yield to flashing lights and ambulances, I've wondered if they don't teach that in driver's ed anymore, we were always taught you move over to the right, slow down, get out of the way and/or stop your car far over on the right. If this cop had his flashing lights on, he would have got his guy only 2 cars ahead of me...everyone moved out of the way when his flashers went on.

Back to baseball; How's Buster Posey? I haven't heard much about him, is he healed up and rehabbed for spring training?

I respect everyones opinion here. I seriously need to know what you think about the Washington Nationals NOT selling tickets to Phillie fans for a specific time period for games in their stadium!!!

My feelings may be bias, being a Phillie fan.  I honestly can't recall EVER hearing of this in the MLB and the Nationals stadium doesn't sell out, its not like the Phillie fans are taking away spots for their fans.

Could it be a public relations stunt?

Is it legal? You have to have a credit card from a certain state to get these tickets.

Or does it just go along with alot of other things that don't make sense coming out of Washington, DC???  OK, that's a joke!
