Well with all the election stuff....the battle against the gay agenda....theologically deep topics....I had to bring some Christmas levity to the blog -- or should I say Yule time euphoria!!! If you have been overwhelmed with buying presents and preparing egg nog. the NY Yankees have been busy filling up the empty space under their tree!!! LAst week they signed two bonafide hall of fame caliber pitchers in CC Sabbathia and AJ Burnett. WOW WOW WOW!!
Sabbathia is an imposing figure with ice in his veins. He is the kind of pitcher in the mold of Catfish Hunter, Roger Clemens and Josh Beckett -- you know the type.... "Just give me the ball and get out of the way!" He is young and now he is flithy rich! Then as a bonus, Santa served up AJ Burnett a forminable hurler from Tornoto. Both of these pitchers have hurt the Yankees in seasons past -- now they wear pinstripes. Burnett is much like Guidery, Mussina, Jimmy Key - he is not over powering but like a surgeon will slice and dice hiters.
Then as of the two of them were not enough.....Wang - aka "The Chinaman" - re-signed with the Bombers. Now all they need is Pettite and the season is done. Melky Caberra is not signed yet but could be used in a trade for some big time outfielder. Hey don't count them out -- the yanks are talking with Manny!! Wouldn't that be a hoot!
So there you have it Yankee-NAtion -- Hank, CAsh and Little Joe are ready to rock and roll. Pitchers and catchers head to TAmpa in nine weeks -- it will go fast!! I have my opening day tickets for the new stadium. I can not wait!!!
