Biking today and Yankee lessons

Well today I did a little biking, I went 7 miles in about 20 minutes. Monday, I plan on running outside again after work. Should be fun though, I feel like my stamina has been getting better the past few days even from what it was. I am pushing myself a little harder lately in my workouts since my leg finally is better, so unless there is a change in it, I will stop talking about it. :)

I went to the Thursday night edition of how to slowly destroy a basball managers career, which is also known as the Yankees vs. Twins. Apparently Ron Gardenhire can not and will not ever figure out how to consistently beat the Yankees. For me though, it was the second time in my life I have ever seen the yankees play. The first timeI was like 8 years old and Don Mattingly was the star of the Yankees, this time I got to see Jeter, Cano, A-Rod for a moment (not playing), and for my wife's benefit Jim Thome of the Twins, all will be legendary but not all for the same reason. Regardless of what you may think of the Yankees and specifically A-Rod, yes he admitted he cheated, I get it, I know why people would boo him, but the others I mentioned, are going to be legendary players. Jeter already is and Cano, he will be if he stays with the Yankees. Thome, he is becasue of 600. ( I know, he isn't a Yankee, but who cares)

As a person who loves to watch shows about the history baseball, seeing the Yankees as a team is one of the ultimate things to do. Same as going to Wrigley, Fenway and the Dome.... well maybe not the dome. Hell I even thought it was cool seeing the Astrodome a few years ago while I was in Houston at a dog show right next door to it. so for those of you who don't understand what I am getting at... My name is Nick and I am a baseball geek.

I guess you can consider it like this, many people in MN hate the Yankees, for whatever reason they want, just like so many hate the Packers, but if you were offered tix to the vikes and packers at Lambeau, most would probably want to go, Why? becasue it is a legendary place, and you are probably watching one of the ( I hate to say it) better teams in the NFL.

Sorry about my rant.

Later HR!
