Just another lovely day in Northern New York. Supposed to get 8-12'' of snow followed by a couple of days of below zero temps. This after it was just 53 two days ago. Gotta love it.
Let's see what's new in the baseball world for today. Jose Contreras signed with the Phillie's for 1 year 1.5 million. Damon is still looking for a home. There was talk of him going to the Reds but then there was talk after that saying no go on the Reds. Who knows where he will end up. I will put money on it that he will not be on my team, the Pirates and I am glad of that. Let's see another report came in that Brandon Webb wants to test the FA market. John Smoltz might go with the Pedro philosophy and try to sign on with a team mid-year if the Met's do not make the 2 year old their 5th starter. Why couldn't my father be trying to play major league baseball at that age. Dodgers are showing some interest in Garrett Anderson for some reason. Rangers who have made some moves this off season are showing a fringe interest in Melvin Mora. Several team's are showing interest in Hisanori Takahashi (sorry if i spelled it wrong i am not great with foreign name spelling, and well spelling all together) The reported team's showing interest are Orioles, Dodgers, Mets, Red Sox, and Giants. Red Sox might as well since they already have translators there for some of their players. So if you are a Met fan would you rather have your team go after the 35 year old lefty from over sea's or the 42 year old Smoltz? Back to Phillie's news Lidge and Romero begin throwing. I read that so I am making you read it. Jamie Moyer says he will be ready for the first week. Redding signs with the Rockies and Winn signs with the Yankees. I am not that happy with Winn signing with the Yankees because he was always my go to FA snag in fantasy when I had someone go down. Now as a Yankee he won't be worth much because his playing time won't be very high i don't think.
Well have a wonderful Thirsty Thursday, I know I will.

Happy Hump Day
I know it's been awhile but believe it or not I've been a busy man. So if anyone out there is still checking this (which i don't think people did to begin with) I am talking to you. Of course I have been putting more time into www.mattmclear.com so feel free to check that out as well. If you are wondering there is not a lot new in my life since my last post. I am still fixing printers and wondering what I did in life to deserve such a wonderful job. (take it as you will sincerity or sarcasm) I hate the winter because of my lack of winter activities. I can't skate, snowboard, ski, snowmobile. So that leaves me with drinkings, video games, and gambling. In my spare time I have been trying to invent something to get me out of working for the rest of my life. As you can see in my comments above I have been very unsuccessful. My new idea in life was to try and make a successful app for the Iphone and Itouches. Did a little bit of reading and it seems a lot more difficult then I had imagined. So if there is any whizzes out there that can help me create an awesome app that can pay me a lot per week so i don't have to work I will definitely hook you up with some money for creating it. anyways...
A lot is going on with the world these days. Haiti had not only 1 crippling earthquake but had another one today. It is awful what that place is going through but it is nice to see so many people throughout the world donating time, money, and whatever else they can to help. I saw on the news of all these foster kids that were lucky enough to be sent over here and most were given a home. Unfortunately i have also seen on the news of several people that were not lucky enough to make it out and are either deceased or having to deal with dangerous people. The only question I ask is with so many problems in our country, our state, our community why are we giving so much to them when we could be helping people here? I know I may come across as an asshole but I mean there is a lot we can do here as well. Just something to think about.
The city of Ogdensburg was doing well with NHL player Jimmy Howard playing for the Detroit Red Wings and that other guy that is from here and has his own TV show. A lady here slept with Tiger Woods too? Life was good until the Governor came out yesterday and said it was planning on cutting 200+ jobs and closing a medium prison. The "city" of Ogdensburg is hurting enough and taking away that could really hurt. Throw in the fact that the bridge to Canada that brings in a lot of business is in desperate need of repairs. If the prison and the bridge go away for any time being that would crush that small city. But don't worry I'm sure several people will sign up for a petition on Facebook to help support it, what that actually does? I don't know.
Well pitchers and catchers report in less than a month and I'm turning a quarter century a little before that. Yeah that's about all I have to look forward to in the near future. So go on out to Doug's for some chicken wings it's wing night, and have a happy hump day. Remember don't be a fool, wrap your tool.
