And after the Bosox gave you Manny, this is how you are!?  A pox of power tool malfunctions on you! 

The year they gave him to my Dodgers he kicked ass.  The year we paid him to be there... well..... notsomuch.

Grew up in Orange County so I know where my Angel and Dodger loyalties come from.  Never knew why I always liked the Yankees and hated the Red Sox (love Fenway though).  I think it might come from my Dad being a big Mickey Mantle fan for the Yankees.  Despising the Red Sox might have come from that or that one of the first regular season games I remember was at the then new Angel stadium in 1966.  My Angels were winning at some point in the game (rare for them then).  Then they were't.  My guys lost.  When you're five that's apparently a life altering trauma.  Hated the Red Sox ever since.  Except Yastrzemki.

I liked the Dodgers when they were here in soflo for spring training, Dodgertown was a special place, lotsa history, dodgerdogs and the only place I have ever been to where you could pluck an orange off a tree to eat, sit under an oak tree and watch baseball. No dugouts for the millionaires to hide in either.

Now, since leaving... not so much...

Have made the trip to Dodgertown a couple of times.  Wish they'd stayed.  That was nice.

And Luis Tiant....even if he was only with the Red Sox for a short time...  Got to love his dedication to the game...

(and congratulations to the champs...but look out for those Cubs next year!)

Howie, love ya like a brother, but the Yankees SUCK!!!! Big time!!!...it only goes to prove that if you've got a bazillion dollars to spend, you can buy a championship in baseball...  (I'm only totally pissed off at 'em because they cleaned my Minn. Twins' clock!!    )

Millions to Line the Canyon of Heroes for Yankees Parade

This is going to be a big one. Oh, is it going to be a big one.

People have been lining the parade route for hours down on the Canyon of Heroes, getting ready on a cold day in New York to see their Yankees celebrate the 27th World Series championship. It's going to be windy, whipping all that confetti around and creating quite the spectacle.

"What's sweeter than a World Series won at home? The only thing that comes close is a ticker-tape parade up the Canyon of Heroes, and that's exactly what New Yorkers will get on Friday," Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said.

Up in the Bronx, the Yankees and employees are boarding two dozens buses that will take them downtown via police escort for the start of the celebration, which begins on Broadway at Battery Place and continue northbound to Chambers Street, followed by a ceremony at City Hall Plaza, where the Mayor plans to present Joe Girardi's Yankees with keys to the city for their defeat of the Phillies in the six-game Fall Classic.

If I may take you off-site for a moment, here is a handy parade guide from the New York Daily News. Bundle up if you're going to be out along with three to four million of your best buddies, but savor this one, the Yankees' long-awaited first parade since 2000.

"New York has been hungry for a championship. We gave it to them," Alex Rodriguez said.

Millions to Line the Canyon of Heroes for Yankees Parade

Have been in town twice while ticker tape parades happened.  Maybe I don't get in the proper spirit of the thing.  And it's not that it wasn't great fun and pretty damn cool; but both times my most lasting thought was "god I'm glad I don't have to clean this mess up."

Well I hope youze are catching this one! If you've never seen one, there's nothing like a Ticker Tape Parade in The Canyon Of Heroes!!! It looks like a freakin AWESOME Parade!!!
