Sorry, all. Gigs has been so very tired due to lack of sleep due to the hard schedule of the games during the World Series. But hey, no complaints! Boston won! First team in the 21st century to win 2 series! That's what someone said on the radio, but let's try and remember that's it's only 2007. But whatever! Red Sox won!

And of course, we barely have time to bask in the glory of these hard working men, and talk turns to contract negotiations. Leave it to a Yank (or former Yank) to crash our party with news that he's opting out of his contract. I'm talking about Alex Rodriguez. But we already have a fantastic 3rd Baseman, Mike Lowell. Now if A Rod wants to put on a Sox uniform, well that's all fine with me, so long as he leaves enough money in the piggy to re-sign Lowell. Also, he would have to take another position. I mean it's not like we NEED A Rod to, I don't know, WIN or anything. Honestly, what is the big deal with him anyway? Yes he's a great player, and we would probably benefit from having him in Boston. And yes, he would up our cute players quotient (which in my professional opinion is already pretty durn high), but are these reasons enough to turn our backs on players who have been with us, when A Rod first turned us down? Alex, Boston is not standing at the back of the gym because you didn't want to dance with us. And now just because you've realized that we are the prettiest girl at prom, doesn't mean we will dump our current partners for you. There might be room for you to join us, but please don't think you broke our hearts or spirit.

OK, I may have gotten a bit carried away, but I'm sure GDD readers are smart enough to find my point in there.
