Dave Wannstedt Resigns

Tuesday, November 9th, 2004




Well, Dave Wannstedt has resigned. I am listening to the press conference right now (live since it started) and it was bound to happen, I think. At the end of the season, if not now. Dave Wannstedt doesn’t seem like a bad guy, the players seem to like him and I appreciate his efforts.

But, it was something that was going to happen and it will be interesting to watch how this develops and who ends up as the Dolphins head coach after this year (Jim Bates has been named interim head coach).

Steve Kline Update

Tuesday, November 9th, 2004




I have said before (here and several times at Alex’s blog) that the Yankees should sign Steve Kline right away.

So, some good news relating to that:

Peter Gammons:

The Yankees are expected to make quick, hard runs at Eric Milton and Steve Kline in an effort to get more left-handed, then work the market

Dan Graziano, The Star-Ledger:

They also plan to seek left-handed relief help, and their top target appears to be free-agent Steve Kline, who made 64 relief appearances for the Cardinals this year.

Dolphins Lose to Cardinals, 24-23

1 point. And Bill Gramatica missed a PAT. Or if Feeley had just thrown an INT and not an INT TD, we might have won. Tough game, tough season.

I think we should get Feeley in there. He has a strong(er than Jay Fielder, especially) arm, but he just lacks experience and the touch – which he needs experience to get. He seems to just sit back there and gun low rockets (he had a few passes tipped) and he needs to work on knowing when he throw it softer/loft it up a bit. We need to get him in there, get some experience and see what we’ve got for next year, if anything.

Laptop

Friday, November 5th, 2004




I am looking for a really good deal on a laptop that I will use for working on the road. Updating sites, writing, surfing. No gaming. I don’t care about battery life and I don’t care about weight. I want it to be under $750 shipped with tax. A 30 GB hard drive is sufficient and I would like to get 512 MB. Screen size is unimportant.

I have pretty much searched the globe, so I believe I know all of what there is, but just in case…

Thursday, November 4th, 2004




I was just about to head to bed when I decided to check ESPN (who knows why?) and I saw that the Mets have named Willie Randolph manager.

I like Mr. Randolph. Congrats on the manager job.

Best Traffic Month Ever

Just a quick note as I just finished tallying up the iFroggy Network traffic info for October. Came in at just under 2.3 million pageviews – enough to be considered our best month ever. :)

Nomar to Play Second?

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2004




Me and my friend Seamus were talking about this weeks ago. Today, I saw an article from the New York Daily News that throws the idea out there.

All-star shortstop Nomar Garciaparra has told friends he would be open to a position change to either second base or third, which could open the way for the Yankees to pursue the free agent as a second baseman.
The Yankees’ top offseason priority is improving their starting pitching, but if they signed Garciaparra to play second, they would have all of the famed “three shortstops” playing in the same infield – Garciaparra at second, Alex Rodriguez at third and Derek Jeter, who won his first Gold Glove yesterday, at short.

I am intrigued by it. Posada, Giambi, Garciaparra, Rodriguez, Jeter, Matsui, Beltran, Sheffield, Bernie would be a … pretty good lineup. I like the fact that Nomar has a good arm, as well. Hopefully it would be less wild from second. Interesting…
