And the Sox suck. ;-)
Who would have thought that an obscure Cleveland team would turn
out
to be such a bunch of spoilers?
Well, had to cheat what with all the bugs.
Everyone knew it was supposed to come down to another epic battle
between the Sux and Yankees, and that the Yankees would prevail in
the
end. Again.
Torre isn't coming back to the Yanks - he turned down their offer.
Hmmmm - get rid of Francoma - get Torre - works for me.
And who would travel to Lake Eerie to watch baseball this time of
year? Lake Eerie - the very name is strange. :-)
Not to mention those who inhabit the environs.
He-he-he. Sour grapes amongst the fans of the 2 top payroll teams
which
tried to
buy another World Series ring.

We win........you lose. ;-)
To quote my favorite guru, Yogi Berra
"It ain't over until it's over."
Should have been a Red Sox.
I am sure the Sox tried to *buy* him. ;-)

As I said all along..........may the best team win the ALCS and go on
to
face Colorado in the World Series. Whether the fans of the losers will
be
able to congratulate the fans of the winning team remains a question.

On a more important note.........19 days before we leave for my son's
graduation from the USMC Parris Island basic training on November 9th,
with
family day on November 8th. A 2 day drive for us.- Hide quoted text -

Can't handle a 12 hour drive??

It is actually 13 hours without stopping. We need to be at the parade
grounds at 6 am on Thursday, so we are breaking it into a 2 day trip.

Just curious why this bothers you or is any of your business?

Does he get to go home with you for some leave?

Yes. Graduation is on November 9th. Family Day (starting at 6 am) is on
the 8th.

We will drive home (most likely in one trip) following the graduation with
our new Marine. He has a short leave at home then flies to NC on the 20th
for combat training. He has requested a recruiters assistance position
while he is home but has not been notified of an opening. If he gets it he
will be able to stay home another 10 days.

If he has to leave on the 20th he will be leaving just before TGiving and
will definitely miss Christmas at home.....a real bummer.

Well, I'm sure you'll all have a good time.
