Playing For the Championship

I have not played fantasy football, until this season. I signed up for a free league through ESPN.com and created my team--the League City Wildcats! In the middle of the season I had a four game losing streak, but wound up on a 9 game winning streak and in first place in my division at the end of the "regular" season. Now I am in the playoffs.

I was victorious in the first round, and am now playing for the championship of our league! Having the team in the fantasy league made watching games other than the hometown boys much more fun. But now I want to WIN!

Jacuzzi Tub

Sometimes a few days of getaway end up making a bigger difference in your life than expected. Sometimes you experience something that you want to incorporate into your “normal” life. One such thing for my wife and I was Jacuzzi bathrooms uk. A condo we rented had one, now we want one in our home!

We really enjoyed relaxing in Jacuzzi tub at the end of a day. It really helped unwind the kinks in our legs and backs after cycling or hiking. Each of us thinks it would be nice to come home from a day in the rat race and spend time in a nice warm Jacuzzi whirlpool. Now we just have to find the money to cover those Jacuzzi prices!

Penn State Is VB Champ--Again

My junior high age granddaughter plays and loves volleyball. Tonight was the finals of the NCAA volleyball championships between the University of Texas and Penn State. We watched on espnU. The Longhorns won the first two games against the #1 ranked Nittany Lions. In 37 matches this season, the Lions had only lost 5 games total. So they were being challenged by UT in ways they had not all year long. But the Lions rallied to win the next three games and thus their third straight national title. It was nail-biting entertainment!

No Arbitration for Miggy

I am not surprised that the Houston Astros have decided not to offer Miguel Tejada salary arbitration. He would surely win at least $12 million and they do not want to pay him that much next season.

That said, I hope they will be aggressive in negotiations for his services, he has been a positive influence on the team for the two seasons he has been in Houston. His joy at playing the game and his deep desire to win is needed on a team that features Carlos Lee and, to some degree, Lance Berkman, who are both pretty "laid back."

Plus if Miggy is willing to move to third, the Astros could get a better defensive shortstop and become a better team right away.
