Nice day for a drive

This afternoon, we delivered a car to my youngest so he could drive a bunch of his classmates to an event this evening. That means we took a very nice drive up to New Hampshire on a bright crisp fall day.

You gotta love this time of the year.

So much for the Yankees.

As I type this, it's the seventh inning and the the Tigers are winning 7-1. Unless a miracle occurs, during the eighth or ninth inning, the Tigers are the AL champions and they will be playing in the World Series.

As for the Yankees, they are trying to figure out what to with their multi-million dollar third baseman, Alex Rodriguez. The rumors are rampant that the Yankees are trying to trade him but I gotta be honest with you, I'll be shocked if anyone takes him.

Before the media decided to call him "A-Rod", the nickname his fellow players gave him was "The Cooler". They called him that because every time he joined a team, they cooled down and stopped winning. As soon as he left, they heated up and started winning again.

Even if the Yankees continue to pay the majority of his salary, he's still a liability to whatever team he goes to.

He's not only arrogant, he's just plain bad luck.
