well the drama did not happen. I backed out of it cuz the pay was not high enough to merit me being awake at 530 am to be somewhere else by 7am. Forget that. I need money like anyone else but I do have my dignity haha. I am sitting at my desk right now longing for my more youthful days so I could perhaps be in Yoyogi Park right now...it is so nice out. about 70 degrees, almost no clouds, and a slight breeze. Perfect weather. Monday is a national holiday...and yep, you guessed it...rain all day. I will probably come to work. Might as well make it a productive day. If it were to be sunny I would spend the day outside. But rain = nice day at the office.

Yankees bloodshed begins, Rick Down (hitting instructor) has been let go. Don Zimmer swears he will not be back, and Mel Stottlemyre does not want to come back. He feels that he was treated like an animal. Thats too bad. Steinbrenner has always wanted to win. So when he finds a manager with coaches that win for him all the time he gets upset that all the credit is given to them. He wants the credit, the whole world revolves around him. So no the only credit he will ever receive for the yankee dynasty of the last decade is that he was the one who broke it up. The Yankee team is a chinese dynasty and Steinbrenner is an invading Mongol Army...
