Hi everyone:
I thought I'd try out a new internet site called Jumpcut by putting together a little video from some shots that were left over on my video camera.
Click on the title to see some shots from our team back in Boston and Cooperstown back in the summer of 06. Let the video load before clicking the "play" button as the video will run much smoother.....
Ciao,

Man Ram - 11/28
As the hot stove rumors swirl about Manny Ramirez being traded this week, I want to go on record saying I'm against it. Here is a guy who's averaged 35 homeruns, 102 rbi's and a batting average of .325 over his career. Say what you want about his perceived attitude or lack of fielding ability (which I disagree with by the way...), the guy just FN rakes! Year in and year out.
I don't care who they pick up to replace him (or most likely multiple players to replace him), no one will give you what he brings to the table. With out him in the lineup batting 4th, expect Big Papi to be walked about 200 times next year...... Frustrating......
The only deal I think is exceptable is one in which the Yankees did with Sheffield. You better get someones top minor league pitching prospects which 1) will either turn into a stud pitcher down the road or 2) they can turn around (within a year or 2) and deal for someone else's stud player. That's it...
Here's 1 Red Sox fan that'll miss "Manny being Manny".

Sox and Mats ............11/15
Thought I'd way in on this....
I like it. Hell it's not my money. Is it a gamble? Absolutely, but I think every now and then you need to say f@$k it and swing for the fences. If Matsusaka turns out to be as good as most expect, the Red Sox get a 26yr old #1 starter to go along with Schilling, Beckett and Papelbon (moved back to the rotation this year). Not a bad rotation....... If he sucks or just can't pitch over here, they've blown a bunch of money, but I think it's worth the risk. They've got the money to spend, why not spend it. The Yankees out spent Boston by about $80 million last year, so I don't want to hear any Skankee fans complaining about Boston trying to buy a championship!
Boston now needs to go out and get a closer, but as of yet haven't heard who they're targeting.

OT - I'm In Love With A Serial Killer............. 11/11
I thought I'd deviate away from sports for a bit and give you a tv recommendation.
If you have Showtime, you have to check out Dexter on Sunday nights at 9pm.
In a nutshell, Dexter Morgan is a forensic pathologist by day for the Miami police department and a serial killer at night (although he only kills people that "deserve" it..).
It has great acting, it's well written and does a good job of breaking up the serious nature of it with humor. Needless to say, I highly recommend it. Here is a clip:

I'd recommend watching from the beginning so go to Showtime on Demand and start from episode 1.
If you're a fan of drama, comedy and who done it, this is the show for you!
