Weekends around here seem to be getting a lot like weekdays, as nothing exciting seems to be happening. Maybe that is because we did not have any fires or interesting ambulance calls. However, on the baseball front it has been getting interesting. This evening the Mets won their 9th in a row this evening against the Colorado Rockies. If they keep on track, they just might be in the post season. Earlier today I watched the Future All Stars game at Yankee Stadium, as part of the All Star celebration. I consisted of a game between the all stars from the affiliated minor league teams. It was not broken down by the league that the parent club is in, but rather if the player was US or foreign born. Guess what – the International players won, 3-0! Most of the International players were from Latin America, but we did have a player from Curacao, China – Taipei, Canada, and Australia. Hopefully they will help their countries’ teams at the Olympics in Beijing next month, the same that we hope that the US born players will do. But no matter where they are from, we hope to see many of these guys sporting major league uniforms in a few years. Ever the Internet addict, I created a web-page on Yahoo Geocities to commemorate the All Star game. The address is http://www.geocities.com/ironmen8@y7mail.com/allstars.html . Sorry, there is no guest book.

I also managed to download and e/mail to myself one of the pictures of one of the 42 miniature Statues of Liberty that are commemorating the All Star Game. This is of the two that are dedicated to the Yankees, the hosts.
