Back in the Groove!


Haven't been spouting off here in a while but as football season approached, time to get going. For openers, you'll want to pay attention to SportsTalk as we'll be giving away some cool stuff like gift certificates for dinner, golf, massages and even a tattoo! Obviously I have no pride and am completely willing to bribe you to listen to our show! Starting Monday, August 4th we'll be holding a contest with 3 winners joining me for a round of golf at Diamond Woods in Monroe.

I'm astonished that Boston traded Manny Ramirez. While I'll give a slight nod to the Angels from top to bottom, the Bosox were very much in the hunt to win it all again. Not that this means they're toast, but a middle of the order with Manny, one of the premiere righty sticks ever is just more formidable than putting Jason Bay in there. Bay is a really good player, but during his 4 full years in the big leagues, has never played for a Pirates team who has won more than 72 games. The heat of a pennant race is completely foreign while Ramirez is a terrific clutch hitter. Sure, he's a moron and has the maturity of a child, but he can rake. Red Sox GM Theo Epstein certainly deserves the benefit of the doubt, but this is certainly interesting. Obviously as a Yankee die hard I hope it blows up in their faces. Stay tuned.
