1000 Posts

My blog software informs me that this is my 1000th post. Hard to believe. No big celebration here, just business as usual.
As expected, last night was a late one as our curling game got started even later than usual, and I didn't get home into bed until after 12:30am. Ugh. Dragging this morning. Thankfully, we played really well, and won our game. I feel like I'm getting back into the groove nicely, sliding easily and being fairly sure that I will throw the right weight at the right spot. Good stuff.
I even got to watch the end of the Monday Night Football game, which almost never happens. Of course, the game was over almost from Indy's first play. What was that corner thinking???
The Yankees have been pretty quiet on the free agent front thus far, but that hasn't stopped the deals and money from flowing freely. First BJ Ryan gets a crazy 5 year, $47 million deal from the Blue Jays, now Billy Wagner gets 4 years, $43 million from the Mets. With that kind of money being thrown around, I'm not surprised that the Yankees aren't doing much yet. They're still looking for a center-fielder, and now Joe Torre is pondering putting Derek Jeter or Alex Rodriguez in center-field. Very interesting:

"That's happened before hasn't it?" Torre said about converting a power-hitting infielder into an outfielder.
"Bobby Murcer, Mickey Mantle. Hank Aaron came up as a second baseman. Robin Yount went to centerfield."

They couldn't be any worse than Bubba Crosby or Bernie Williams last year.
