Yup. Looks like business as usual to me.
Meanwhile, in the Bronx…

Interesting piece on the MFY's pending Cliff Lee contract:
*expects them to do the usual short-term thinking*
Joe Beimel? Not a big name or anything, but he's a cool dude who would fit in perfectly, I think.

I see Shaughnessy is all loved up about the Sox after our two new signings.
Still want us to sign Jeter, Dan, you cretin?

Very nice ESF. I don't think a lot of people really appreciate what a military person goes through, and worse yet in war. Absolutely heroic individuals that were just doing their assigned jobs.

It will be even better when Lee doesn't sign with the Yankees.
do the right thing, Cliff. You know you want to.
My parents were on a European cruise several years ago and one of the stops was in Normandy. They visited Omaha Beach and Arromanches. I think they went somewhere else, but I forget the name.
I was also just checking out Russel Martin's stats. Even though he only played 97 game last year he was 3rd in the NL in runners caught stealing with 27. That's 39%!

I just read we are expected to get Scott Downs. IMHO, that would be fucking awesome.
Mrs ESF's uncle flew B-17s during the war, including two missions on D-Day.
We went over to Normandy last year to see the D-Day sights, including Omaha Beach and the beach my grandad landed on on D-Day.
Very rewarding. :)
Cool. I'm currently reading The Wild Blue about the men & boys that flew B-24s. And most were boys, just a little more than out of high school. It's amazing what they went through.

Just saw this on Twitter FWIW:
Sources have informed Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News that Russell Martin is leaning toward signing with the #RedSox.

I got a letter from Geoffrey Wellum yesterday. He's one of "The Few" - the RAF fighter pilots who kept the Nazis out of England during the Battle of Britain, when they were virtually banging our door down after conquering Europe. I'd written asking if he'd sign my copy of his book and he wrote back and said he would.
Here's a (long) clip from the film the BBC made from his book. (The clip is rather poor quality, but it's good enough) Hard to get your head around the fact that he was just 18 when he was doing the stuff portrayed here. By the way, the old gent you see at the start of the clip is the real Wellum. The word "hero" is bandied about much too often these days, but the word certainly fits well on his shoulders - although I doubt he'd ever admit that.
*is in absolute awe of this man and his Battle of Britain colleagues*

Hee!
We lost a few ornaments due to the first family cat climbing the tree. The current one just likes to sit underneath it next to the Nativity.

Sox make Russell Martin and offer.
Now the Yankees do too: http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/12/09/yankees-make-offer-to-martin-want-him-as-a-starter/
Now the Yankees are just looking desperate. Pay attention, Lee. You don't want to go there.
