Salary cap time?

This is really starting to get old. I know everyone knows that the Yankees are one of the worst spending teams in the league and it just isn't fair to some of the other teams out there who can't even compete with them (I know, I should take into consideration the Red Sox too but NYY is way worse). This is definitely something that is always brought up but I figure I'd take my shot at it too. NYY has just spent 243 MILLION on two players and now theres talk about going after Manny Ramirez or Mark Teixeira...that'd probably put it at over $400 million for 3 players. That's just absolutely ridiculous! So yea, I know it'll probably never happen, but I think that some sort of cap needs to be implemented in order to balance out the league. Granted it may hurt the Sox a bit, but it'll hurt the Yankees more and it'll balance out the league greatly.

CC Sabathia-7 years/$161 million
AJ Burnett- 5 years/$82.5 million
Manny Ramirez or Mark Teixeira-who knows, but it'll probably be some crazy amount

What should the Red Sox do?

Gonna post up a poll. Just because I'm bored here at work and figure I mine as well see what Red Sox nation thinks that the Red Sox should do this offseason.

Be advised, you can select multiple answers in the poll

It's in the hole!

So yea, its almost 4am, and here I am blogging. Blogging here while working an overnight shift. So I just popped in Caddyshack and of course a call comes in! How dare a call comes in and interrupts me! Lol, just kidding...all part of my job haha. So ya, just been passing the time playing games, watching some tv and plain old nothing. So yup. I could sure go for another coffee right about now.

Zzzzzzzzzz

Things I'm thankful for...

Goes along the lines of Amy and Caitlin's blogs.

Several things I'm thankful for over this past holiday weekend

1)My wife: Amy deals with my goofiness, clumsiness and all my quirks that make me, me and I'm certainly thankful for her!

2)My pup: Bindi may be a super brat and like to eat my shoes (thought that was just a myth about dogs eating shoes, but guess I was proved wrong), but shes cute and loves Amy and I unconditionally.

3)Having a home: Granted having a mortgage sucks, but its still good to be able to leave work at night and go to a place that I can call my own.

4)My in-laws: Everyone talks about the dreaded in laws but mine are great! They do so much for Amy and I, I can't begin to thank them for everything they do for us and have done for us!

5)My health: Got bad allergies, but I'm thankful that I'm healthy!

6My job: Sure I may have long days which might make me grumpy lol, but it's what I love to do! (not to mention it helps pay the bills too lol)

7)My friends: Also put up with my quirks and goofiness. Glad they put up with it!

Stuffed

I still feel stuffed today, the day after Thanksgiving. Ate so much yesterday. Turkey, linguica stuffing, potatoes, peas, cranberry sauce. And to top it off, brownie pie and ricotta pie. So so good but so so filling!

Now, I'm sitting here at work, bored while everyone got up at the butt crack of dawn to get some crazy deal on Black Friday. Definitely not worth the aggravation if you ask me. At the local Walmart here it was said that there were several hundred people lined up to get these wicked good deals. I just don't get it. Really? Is it worth it? You're probably better off just going online when you get up in the morning to get these sales.

Anyways, here I sit, bored as all heck. At least I have a fellow companion who is also working on this Black Friday to keep me company. (Thanks Caitlin!)

Sunday Sunday Sunday!

Another boring Sunday here at work. I'd much rather be home sleeping in my nice comfy bed with my warm pellet stove. But nope, here I am, blogging lol. I guess it's okay that the Patriots are playing at 1 so I can kill some time watching that. I'll probably pop open my book too while I'm here as well. Other than that though, working til 4, going home and getting ready to watch the return of 24! Been a long time coming! Thank goodness its back!

Woodstoves & Fireplaces Unlimited

You call that customer service? Is exactly what Amy and are saying to each other after being treated horribly by a business we paid a lot of money to for a service.

We recently had a wood pellet stove installed at our house and this was a pretty hefty investment. We put down a deposit to get the date locked in and once the stove was installed, we paid off the rest of the stove in full (or so we thought).

A couple days later we received a call from this particular business (who will remain anonymous) saying that THEY made a mistake in simple addition and we still actually owed them $200. I was like um, what? Are you kidding? We have to pay for YOUR mistake?! And when I told them that this was outrageous they then threatened me by saying that by not paying for THEIR mistake, they would not service our stove? Never have I been so mistreated in my life! We have since paid the bill, attached was a nasty letter saying that we would advertise how bad their customer service was. They have now lost several customers because of this. I hope losing those customers was worth that $200.

Heck with them being anonymous per Amy!
