Christmas Wrap up

Well so far the snow has held off, relatively anyway. There are maybe another couple of inches of snow on the ground in MC, but there is still the possibility of more.

Sox fans got an early Christmas preasant with the signing of Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez. According the Chicago Tribune, The Duke is going to be penciled in as the #3 starter in the rotation next year. Personally I feel that with his injury history, he would be better suited as the #5 starter, that way he gets some of his starts skipped. Skipping starts might save that arm a little bit.

Now the Sox really are only a back up middle infielder away from a damned good off season. Supposedly the Sox are targeting David Eckstein, formerly of the Angels, and Alex Cora, brother of Sox 3B coach Joey-and former Dodger. Personally either one would make me happy.

And finally 24 hours from now, barring disaster, I will be on a plane to Las Vegas for Christmas! God I can't wait.

Merry Christmas to all, and may all your wishes come true!!!
