Silver and Gold…and Cliff Lee!

 

 

Oh, Sam the Snowman…and my favorite Christmas movie. Since baseball is over, I guess it’s okay to start looking forward to the Holidays. I don’t really know what I want for Christmas this year.

The offseason has been relatively interesting so far. MLB Network’s “Hot Stove” has been filled with news about the Gold Glovers, the Silver Sluggers, and of course, Cliff Lee.

I’d like to congratulate the three Yankees who won awards so far this year.

Congrats to Derek Jeter, Mark Teixeira, and Robinson Cano on receiving Gold Gloves at short, first, and second! A-Rod should’ve won, too, but I guess that would have seemed unfair. I’m proud to say that my Yankees have the BEST infield in all of baseball.

Robbie Cano didn’t stop at the Gold Glove. He ALSO received a Silver Slugger Award!

Congrats, Robbie! Put both those beauties on your Christmas Tree this year and make Sam the Snowman proud.

 Speaking of Christmas Trees, I actually do know what I want under it…

-He says he doesn’t like the heat, so he might not want to stay in Texas.

-Texas says they might get Victor Martinez as an incentive for Lee to return to them.

-Cliff Lee’s stupid wife claims that she hates New York.

-Ryan Zimmerman said he’d give Lee some of his salary to bring him to Washington (lol).

-Brian Cashman is God.

Jeez this is really stressful. I’ve been a good girl all year long…and all I want for Christmas is Cliff Lee. Oh, Santa, Brian Cashman, is this so hard to accomplish?

These rumors are killing me. Cashman, just show him the money. I’m tired of waiting!
