Rumor of the Day

Interesting tidbit from today’s AJC…Giles actually has a higher career average (.292) and OBP (.366) than Furcal. Thought I read here lately where JS was ok with WB at SS? Since the article about how good he was doing in winter ball. They’re just waiting until JS’s son is ready…will he be in Richmond this year, or was he already there last year? Often times they trade players they don’t think are as good as their clippings, unlike the Komminsk days. Seems like they held on to WB because they knew Furcal would be leaving eventually. Interesting that Grady Little was hired by LA…was he ever with Furcal before?

Probably good that Juan Pierre is off the market. I do like him, except the rag arm. They say he’s a hard worker and stuff, but Langerhans and Johnson aren’t that big a drop off for the money. How can people say we need to upgrade LF and 1B when we’re loaded at 3B, 2B, CF, and RF, and not bad off at C (and really 1B)? the Yankees we’re not!

Hear that Garner is doing business as is Clemens is retiring…so there may not be the millions available for when Roger changes his mind. And if Clemens really wanted to protect himself he'd let them know, so they could be putting together the best team possible around him, so he won't be on the losing end of so many close games, like last year. That's got to bother guys like him, Hudson, and Maddux. Didn't Clemens say he wanted to pitch in the World Classic? The US has 40 commitments and will have to pare the roster. Can you tell I've been doing a better job of reading the AJC? Would Ridge be worth Marte (or Salty?).

Once I went off with the boys, with Ceil gone and Anna at a neighbors, with telling Anna or the neighbor. Anna was ok, but I should’ve have done that. As a very capable middle child with a great personality, and the only girl, she gets the least attention. In some ways like me, except she had me beat in the personality department.

Thought about the snow in the northeast while watching the Monday Night game last night.

For years I would see some of my favorite ECS and SPdL kids and Mighty Mites (like Lang and Claire!). I used to tell people that I taught Andrea Irwin, Stacy Head, and Tripp Mullen in their 5th grade SS class, but now they remind me how old I am!

Remember Wayne Smith? He was one of my roommates at Tech, coached Mighty Mites, as I recall. Sang in the adult choir for a while, married a girl from the singles department. He’s been living in McDonough for years, going to FBC McDonough. Today he tells me that Marsh is the interim pastor down there. Y’all may have known that. Rick Statum, who married Miriam Crumpler, is pastor of another Baptist church down there in McDonough.
