Ahhh Yes .. Spring Training !

Every year I remind my wife the importance of February 14th. The day pitchers and catchers report to spring training. Great to see the players back ... of course with the Yankees its always the same ... a controversy will face the team as spring training begins, and Carl Pavano will find a new way to injure himself. My bet is this year the elastic in his jock strap will break and snap up and hit his eye.

Ice Fishing

In all of the excitement of the Superbowl on Sunday ... Paul Soko and I were still able to squeeze in a few hours to do some ice fishing prior to the game.

It was a great day ...perfect weather, the kids had a good time ice skating, and we even caught a couple of fish.

Eli Manning, David Tyree and "The Play"

Still can't believe the Giants won ! Today all anyone could talk about was "The Play". Eli Manning escaping a sack and throwing a prayer to David Tyree who made one of the greatest catches in Superbowl History.

People have a way of remember great football moments by naming them. "The Catch", "The Ice Bowl", "The Immaculate Reception" ... so I think this one should simply be called... "The Play".

Giants Win ! Superbowl Champions !

I am sooooo pumped up right now ... the Giants battered and abused Tom Brady and the Patriots. Probably one of the greatest Superbowls of all time. I guess Boston will have to cancel their parade on Tuesday.

David "#######" Tyree will now be mentioned in the same breath as Bucky Dent and Aaron Boone by Boston Sports Fans for his unbeliveable catch in the Giants final drive.

Here we Go !

Tomorrow's the day ! SuperBowl Sunday !

Let's Go Giants !

HI !

HI !

It's finally over !

The never ending football season for the Lakeland Jr Chiefs finally ended this evening with the awards banquet. Yes... it starts in July and ends in January. Congrats Pauli, Molly, Elisa, Annie & Nico on a job well done !

Holy Crap!

" The kick is good and the Giants are going to the SuperBowl! " - Joe Buck


Holy Crap ! The Giants won. They are actually going to the SuperBowl... this is hard to imagine.

I am sooooo pumped up right now.

GO BIG BLUE !

I am McLovin !

I watched SuperBad tonight ... absolutely hilarious !

If you haven't seen it yet ... what are you waiting for !

GIANTS WIN ! ... and the Cowboys Lose !

This is right up there with the Yankees beating the Red Sox .... Giants hang on to beat the Cowboys and make T.O. and the rest of the Cowboys cry !

Got this text message from my buddy Flynner ... which made this win even sweeter !


"Congrats ... I have to give the Giants credit as much as it hurts me. Watching my 2 sons cry after the game hurts more anyway."

I am so psyched right now !

Wii'd Out !

Maggie is Wii'd out ... after watching Annie & Emily play their Wii for 20 hours a day the past few days ... she has had enough ! I gotta admit though ... it's addicting !

Merry Christmas !

From our family to yours ... here is wishing everyone a Merry Christmas !

Getting Ready !

Here are Annie & Emily putting out reindeer food for Santa's big arrival tonight ! They are so excited ! I sure hope Santa stops !

School's Out !

Last day of school today ... Christmas break has officially started for Annie and Emily ( ... and dad too !)

They were pretty hyped on sugar when they got home today ... lets hope that wears off or it will be a long two weeks !

That's the spirit !

Maggie seems to be learning from her sisters. Here she is getting into the holiday spirit !

She is pretty excited about her first Christmas ... I hope Santa remembers to bring her something ...

ARod to resign with Yankees

OK... Looks like ARod and Boras pulled the old good cop bad cop routine on the Yankees. ARod and Boras after realizing there is no $300 million market for him ( probably not even a $200 million market) went crawling back to the Yankees and the Yankees took the bait.

ARod ( in a move I am sure is orchastrated by Boras) made it look like opting out was all Boras' idea and he wanted to be a Yankee all along.

So now suppossedly ARod is negotiating his own contract and Boras is out of the picture.

Looks like the Yankees will give ARod 10 yrs and $275 million. (only about $150 million more then any other team would pay)

At times I am amazed how dumb people can aquire so much money.

Going Home !!!

Maggie and Mom left the hospital today and headed home. Everyone is doing well. Annie and Emily are thrilled to have their new sister at home.

Hey everyone ... meet our new sister !

Annie & Emily got a new sister today... and her name is Maggie !

Both mom and Maggie are doing well.

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 !
