Arod is Shopping for a New Team

The GM meetings start in Florida tomorrow. Scott Boras and Arod will be there shopping for a new team. Of course all they really need to do is look to Omar Minaya ... the biggest overspending GM in baseball. He buys hook line and sinker whatever BS Boras is selling.

By going to the Mets its the only way Arod doesn't look like a complete liar when he spent the entire year saying how much he loves New York.

A New Cup of Joe

Yankees got their new manager today, Joe Girardi. I am very happy with this decision. It was time for a change. Can't wait for spring training to start !

Happy Halloween !!

Trick or Treat !! Annie and Emily are ready for a night of halloween fun. We can't wait until they bring home the candy !

Goodbye Mr. April - Alex Rodriguez

The biggest waste to ever play for the Yankees is finally leaving.

In one of the most classless moves ever by a professional athlete, Arod announces his decision to opt out of his current contract during the last game of the World Series . For a guy who tries to PRETEND he is high class ... this was the ultimate low class move. Hey Arod ... I got news for you. Just having money doesn't buy you class. You are the perfect example of that.

This shirt really sums it up.

I never saw a professional athlete choke in big moments as much as A-Rod. SEE YA !!! Hey Alex ... Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out !

Great time at Penn State !

Paul Sokoloski, Keith Yurgosky, Matt Owens, Blaine Fawcett

Spent yesterday tailgating for the Ohio State - Penn State game. It was a great day and we got to see a lot of old friends that we haven't seen in years.

Tailgating at Penn State never gets old !

Penn State lost but it was still a great time.

Kudos to Dan Totsky for organizing a great trip !

Monday Night Football !

Had a great night for watching Monday Night Football. The weather was perfect for tailgating. Great weather ... chili ... cold beer ... fire !

...oh yea ... and the Yanks lost ... season over :(

The Great Pumpkin 2007

Annie and Emily went to the pumpkin patch today ... ( kind of early but we are not sure when the baby will appear so we didn't want the girls to miss out )

As always they had a blast !

They are getting old :(

I remember when Pauli use to try to eat Annie's toes ... look at them now. This is Pauli and Annie after their game today. Go Chiefs !

First Day of School !

Emily and Annie headed off to school this morning. Emily starts her first day of kindergarten and Annie is in second grade. Good Luck ! Hope you both have a great year !

PS: Good Luck Mom too !

The Great Outdoors !

Camped out with girls last night ... very enjoyable in the 150% humidity :(

Probably the hottest and most humid evening of the entire summer .

The girls had a blast and can't wait to do it again. Dad on the other hand is hoping we lose the tent ! Mom of course used the pregnancy excuse to avoid the experience all together. Next summer we are going to need a bigger tent !

Yankee Stadium

Went to the big ballpark in the Bronx today with my dad, brother-in-law Tony, and my nephew Brad. We saw Shelly Duncan hit a dramic game-tying home run with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th, only to see the Yanks blow it the next inning. :(

Anyway ... it was a great day and a great game.

GO YANKS !

GO CHIEFS GO !

Annie made her debut tonight as a cheerleader for the Lakeland Jr. Chiefs Football Team. She did great and we are proud of her !

Go Chiefs !

Sexy - Cosimo

Move over Jerry Boyarsky ... this might be Lakeland High School's Proudest Moment.

Our boy Cosimo Costa has been named one of Philadelphia's 2007 Sexy Singles.

To think of all those years of hanging around with this guy and I never knew I was in the presence of such sexiness.

Don't forget to Vote For Cos !

Sisters !

Great pics of Annie and Emily on their way to the beach. They had a blast on vacation !

Lots of Fish !

Annie and Emily had a blast tonight ... they were catching fish on every cast. Who knows ? ... maybe someday they will even become MOABs.

Happy 4th of July !

The girls are all decked out in their red, white and blue. Unfortunately the weather is not cooperating. Temps might not reach 70 today.

Fished this morning .... for pics of the fish go to http://newtonlake.wordpress.com

Anyway ... hope everyone has a safe holiday !

Dance, Dance, Dance

Spent another wonderful Father's Day at a dance receital. Annie couldn't dance because of her leg and Emily was in one dance for about 4 minutes. :(

I guess I shouldn't complain... a lot of the other people were complaining they had it worse ... they had to go to one on Saturday and another on Sunday. It hilarious standing in line waiting to go into this receital... you get to hear everyone complain about how aggrevated they are that its held on Father's Day ... and they always say ... "it's always been that way". You think at some point people would learn. Only in Carbondale !

New Docks !

We got the dock set up for the summer ... thanks to Tom Regenski of Gresham's Chophouse at Lake Wallenapaupack ( www.greshams.net ) for all of his help.

Looking forward to a great summer !

Scranton Yankees Baseball !!

Here are Annie and Emily at the AAA Yankees game today. That grass is almost as nice as the grass in our yard. Yeah right !!!

The Disabled List

Annie's baseball season has come to a close as she has officially been put on the disabled list. She isn't really too upset about it. As long as she is still able to swim she is OK with it.
