I have found my new Baseball team, it is the San Fransisco Giants!  I have done a little research and they are not the best team out there, but their management looks like they care about the team they put on the field.  A couple of added bonuses are, they did not trade away their past CY Young Winner, they actually traded for talent and the Trade Deadline and look to not be Re-Building again!

We’ll see how it goes but I am looking forward to watching the Giants for years to come.

         

I hate to do it but I have to rant a little, I am losing my love for baseball. I have come to the conclusion that I can’t be complacent anymore! I need to find a baseball team that at least shows they care about their players and fans. I have been watching for years and have seen one team have a losing record for more than half of my life and the other one trades away someone every time they get really good.

I have lost my patience with the Cleveland Indians, bad coach, bad general manager and very bad owner. For the past two years they have traded away the previous years CY Young Award winner (Sabathia, Lee) and recieved nothing in trade for them. The coach and general manager have become very complacent and I feel just don’t make good decisions. And finally the owner Larry Dolan, the man who says every year he is going to increase the payroll but then gets rid of payroll halfway through the year. Every year he complains about the team losing money, put some into the roster and maybe you’ll make money, ass!!!

The Pittsburgh Pirates, how can you have 18 straight losing seasons? Oh yeah, trade away $27 million out of your $55 million dollar payroll! That’s how you put a 18 straight losing seasons baseball team together.

So I am on the hunt for a new team, I should have a new team in a few days!

Metallica, remember them, they used to produce some of the hardest, fastest metal music ever created.

Well in the last five or six years this group has repeatedly put out garbage music. Anybody hear Saint Anger, the song starts out with drums banging and then the guitar and bass wailing, then the music goes straight downhill as soon as James Hetfield (lead singer) starts singing, absolutely horrible!

Now they have released the singel “Cyanide”, the lyrics to the song don’t even make sense. Here is the chorus “Suicide, I’ve already died, Your just the funeral I’ve been waiting for, Cyanide, Living dead inside, Break this empty shell forevermore” Huh? WTF does this mean, come on at least their old songs made some sense.

Next bad thing, the music sounds horrible, it sounds like four seperate people who never met create a bass solo, drum solo, and two guitar solos and then put them together in a song and just said we’ll just make it work.

I hate to say I have bashed Metallica for the last few years, since the whole Napster thing. But, if they released some kind of good music I would be all over it.

I find it funny how much road construction there is in Ohio right now. Especially when you watch the news everyday and all they tell you is how each county and the whole state, do not have any money to do repairs.

I live 23 miles from my work, it generally takes about thirty five minutes to get to work. Lately because of all the construction, it has taken me up to an hour and thirty minutes to get to work. I actually have to drive through 6 different sets of road construction. This to me is becoming a big mess.

I understand that the state has to do construction to keep the roads in shape, if they did a little more preventive maintenance through out the year we as a state would be in better shape!

Wednesday was a very sad day. Nina passed away after we brought her home from the vet. Beth came home to find Nina very woosie and having a hard time walking, we ran her to the Emergency Vet and they believed she had Vesicular Disease. Which seems to be a disease that effects the brain and balance, possibly brought on by a stroke.

Luckily, Nina passed on quickly, was at home with family and did not suffer to long. We are all in shock though because it happened so suddenly, we really had no indication anything was happening until it was to late.

Thursday morning, Beth, George (father-in-law) and I took her to my in-laws house by Stuebenville. We laid her to rest with all the other dogs in our Pet Cemetary. She now will be playing with Patsy, Junior, Jake, Sniffer and Freckles. We buried her with her two favorite toys, her cow and the demonic pig pull toy.

As I write this the tears are welling up in my eyes, We will miss our “nini bo bini” very much, we will never forget how much happiness she brought into our life..

You will always be loved and never forgotten Nina.

Hello everyone, well this is my official first blog! I am at work, waiting for another meeting. Talking movies with one of the contractors.
