Random musings on the night before Christmas Eve.

So the Red Sox missed out again on one of Scott Boras' mercenaries for hire. The last one was Slappy in 2003; seems like we've won 2 world titles in the past 5 years and came within a game of getting into a third. I think the Red Sox will be just fine....

The Yankees have committed roughly $453 million to three players over the next 8 years; one is a bonafied stud, one is a biscuit away from 350 lbs and the DL, and the 3rd is a headcase who up to now only turns it on when he gets paid. And he's got a 5 year, $85 million dollar contract. I'll take Dustin Pedroia, a ticked off Josh Beckett, and a rabid mongoose, thank you very much....

While it would have been nice to get Tex (the player not the legend who comments here) how awesome is it to think of a healthy, motivated, and righteously pissed off Mike Lowell doing his best impression of Jules from "Pulp Fiction" next year?.....

Why do people, and by people I mean my wife LOVE to go shopping at 10 pm on the night before Christmas Eve? What is she looking for? A waffle iron? A life size Derek Jeter doll the boys can practice submission holds on? An autographed Big Papi bat for me? Or is it just to get 5 minutes of peace?.....

Finally, where in God's name did the year go? It's Christmas Eve already?

Oh crap; it's Christmas Eve.

Anyone know how long the stores stay open tomorrow?

I wonder how receptive Ang will be to an IOU.

The two best times to shop this close to the big day are late at night (and Walmart is open 24 hours!) or early in the morning. Our big mall opened at 8 am today, and I was one of the few people there!

You are nuts, Beth. Along with my wife.

May you both share a rocking chair at the rest home together someday. ;)

Rest home? I thought we were all going to end up at the SG commune!

Sorry Beth.

Commune! Forgot about the commune.
