Random thoughts....

This post will be a little of this and a little of that.
I will have two sections one for politics and one for sports. If you don't care for my wievs on American politics then skip that section.
Politics section:
Gov. Spitzer of New York is in deep trouble after it was reaveled that he was involved in a prostitute ring. What can i say other than "Man you Fed up" (see what i did right there :-D) He will now resign and if i were him i would move far far away and never seek any public office ever again. Which brings me to a person that is seeking the highest public office in America that of President. Senator Hillary Clinton is looking more and more like a desperate power hungry maniac that will pull out every dirty trick in the book to try to win. I know that Obama also is hitting the dirty tricks but to say that the only reason Obama is winning is because he is black is just too low. I know it was only an aide but still it doesn't look good. There is now no more scenarios in which she can catch Obama and he looks more and more like the winner but let's wait and see. It will come down to the superdelegates and i think in the end they will realize that they cant go against the popular vote because if they do they will be alienating the young vote and that is basically giving the election in the hands of McCain.

Sports section:

First we turn our attention to the Beckett situation. I am of the opinion that a little rest will do Mr. Beckett well and he should not be let anywhere near the opener in Japan. I say rest the guy and then get him going in April. I mean we don't need him in April we need him in October. And the Red Sox are deep enough at starting pitcher to be fine. Now the other big news in sports (Ok i admit it Beckett is only news if you are an obsessed red sox fan like yours truly) involves Yankee stadium being used for a Hockey game in January 2009. As you all know the old Yankee stadium will be torn down in 2009 because the Yankees will move to a new stadium. Now baseball purist will tell you that it's blasphemy not to have the final event at Yankee stadium be a baseball game. So many other events have been hosted at the stadium so making the last event a hockey game shouldn't be a problem. I say that "The house that Ruth build" easily also can be "The house that Jagr tares down". Now i like the thinking by the NHL here that it would be the Rangers against one of the original six. If i were the one i would take the offer that currently is a home and home series with the bruins. So the first game is at Yankee stadium and then the year after that have the outdoor game at Fenway park. It will all be good for the NHL.
I will be back on the blog next week with my MLB season predictions.
