Pirates make trades.

Well, the trading deadline has come and gone, and it looks like the Pirates have made a major trade. Jason Bay is going to the red sox, and the pirates are getting 4 minor league players. One is believed to be Andy LaRoche, the younger brother of Adam LaRoche. Lets hope he starts off the year better than his brother. I am not too thrilled about this trade yet. I liked Jason Bay. I thought he was a good fit with the Pirates. Apparently, money was a factor, as usual. Bay will be a free agent next year, and the pirates don't have the money too pay him what he is worth. The Pirates also traded Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte to the Yankees earlier this week. They did not get much for them either. Guess time will tell on both trades. At least they didn't trade Jack Wilson. My wife would have a fit if they did that. More updates later if I get any.

Scooter Babe

This is my wife, Dawna. Just call her "Scooter Babe". Her mother took this picture the other day. Her mother thinks she looks like someone from outer space. I think she looks like someone who likes riding scooters! We are having a ball riding them. We took a ride to Mindie and Jim's house in Transfer yesterday. Today we just took a long ride up Donation Road, across St. Glory Road, and back down Fredonia Road. Was a lot of fun! Problem is, I can't keep up with her, riding my black and gold scooter. It just isn't fast enough. Once we get our other new one, we will be able to fly all over town. I can't wait!

Pirates just lost 3 out of 4 to the padres, and now they play the Rockies again. They just lost 4 in a row to them last week. I am ready for football season! Steelers opened training camp yesterday. Won't be long, and they will be playing their first game. I think they should have a good season. Coach Tomlin put Casey Hampton the Physically unable to perform list today. He could not run all the drills today. He is too fat. Weighs 325 lbs. Hopefully he will be able to play once the season starts. Tomlin won't put up with any crap from any player. I like that. They are all overpaid anyhow. Wish I had some of their money.

Dad is home from the hospital. He went back in to the Greenville Hospital this past Friday. Running a fever. Possible infection. They sent him home this morning. I talked to him earlier today, and he sounds good. Keep praying for him.

Going to go watch the Pirates now. Guess I am a glutton for punishment. Maybe they will actually win a game. We'll see. Have a great day!
