Sports Discussion Sunday (250th Post!)
Today it's only fitting we discuss the Yankees. Yes I am a fan of the Red Sox but the Yankees did win the world series. Many people dislike Alex Rodriguez and the money they spent to get CC, Swisher, Burnett and Texiera. But it wasn't the money or those players that did it all. There are four players that are on this team that i would like to discuss. Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and Andy Pettite have been on the Yankees their entire careers (except for Pettite who went to Houston for two years and came back) with the Yankees. They all now have count em: 1,2,3,4,--5! 5 rings. You got one hand filled with gold! These four players are core and expierienced. Texiera and Sabathia and A-Rod are all fabulous players but they've never been to the world series and Jeter, Rivera, Posada and Pettite have been able to mentor these players to become the outstanding ace or MLB Lead RBI hitter. With the talent Jeter, Rivera, Posada and Pettite have worked into the newbies that is what gave the Yankees the balance of pitching, youth, offense, defense, coaching and expierience to win the world championship like they did. If they're able to stay like this and keep Hideki Matsui hitting away like he finished 2009 I have no doubt they'll be in contention for the 2010 World Series.

Tenth Daughter of Memory- Moon
Another long day at school
and you can't wait to get back
to your nice cozy home with your
mother, father and sister.
What would you like to do?
Yes you know now!
The classic game that has
burst into stores everywhere.
Mouse Trap.
But alas you cannot.
Your mother sends you to the kitchen
and orders you to do your homework.
You never do have a chance to play
Mouse Trap that night because
something happened that night
something that has changed the future
forever.
No not those TV dinners your mother whipped up
before watching Lucy.
Not the fact that your dog has knocked over
your favorite game Mouse Trap.
Lucy was cancelled.
Static had been sent over NBC.
But if your dog hadn't
knocked over the mouse trap game or
your mother hadn't tripped over the game
and dropped the lasagna.
Or your mother didn't decide to get the TV dinners.
Or if Lucy wasn't cancelled.
Or if NBC was clearer instead of staticy.
Or if you didn't have homework so you did play Mouse Trap
and you moved it so your dog wouldn't knock it over and
ruin the lasagna that went over the TV to cause
the static and have the TV dinners which made
Lucille Ball get sick to cancel Lucy.
You wouldn't have witnessed history.
The only channel available was ABC National News.
And what you saw was one quote that did change the
future forever.
"One small step for man."
"One giant leap for mankind."
Yes so simple.
Yet so intelligent.
Those few simple words uttered by
Neil Armstrong changed
the future forever.
He landed on the moon.
Not much more than that.

I'm going all out with Sports Discussion Sunday and Theme Park Tuesday!
1st Thing You'll See is Sports Discussion Sunday!
Theme Thursday- Castle
Dreams. Bigger Dreams. Dreams of the future, fantasy, liberty.
How do we build this dream you ask?
Well one man and his mouse did it.
Clearing the landscape.
Making the foundation.
Burnt Orange and Dark Green Stain-Glassed windows.
Layered on top of each other waiting.
Brick circle.
Not straw nor twigs.
Brick.
An opening no moat
wood door.
Brick by brick.
Getting higher.
Brick by brick going up a single post.
One shiny post.
This is done many more times until one giant one at the top.
Signifying that dreams really do come true.
Windows in place.
Charm in place.
The hub of the world.
Of Florida.
And thus Cinderella Castle is built.
