Heck - there are kids as old as TWO DAYS OLD who have never seen a Boston World Series victory in their lives.

Well I hope everyone had a great afternoon as I did...free taco then I went to Hooters real quick.

I tried to get the lady at Taco Bell to give me about 10. I told her my family was coming and we were pressed for time...but it didn't work. Rats!

They also wouldn't give me a soft shell taco. It was hard shell only.

Oh well, you get what you pay for.

My wife picked up tacos with the kids, and she said the drive-thru wasn't any longer than normal.

well, shoot. Don't tell my son and granddaughter. They really wanted to go, and I convinced them it wasn't worth the wait.

I promise I won't say anything.

Some locations may have been busier than others, so you might still be off the hook.

Actually, not bad. I didn't wait very long. I believe the promo only lasted from 2-5pm, local time.

Along those same lines, turns out somebody has actually offered A-Rod the $35 million contract he wanted -- seriously:

Quote:
On Sunday, after SI.com reported that Rodriguez would opt out of his contract and become a free agent, New York Yankees senior vice president Hank Steinbrenner told the New York Times, “Does he want to go into the Hall of Fame as a Yankee, or a Toledo Mud Hen?”

The Mud Hens figured they should give him that opportunity.

The Mud Hens also prepared a letter that they plan to mail to Rodriguez’s agent, Scott Boras. Included is a contract offer with incentives if he hits 75 home runs per season and leads Toledo to 10 straight Governors’ Cup titles.

There is a catch, of course.

The letter includes a reminder that Mike Hessman – the International League’s reigning Most Valuable Player – is the Mud Hens’ everyday third baseman.

“We think that it would be a healthy competition at spring training between the two of them,” it reads. “Would your client be willing to play a different position?”
ESPN reported this morning that Boras had actually gotten the letter and that the offer was for $35 million. Great move by the Mud Hens.
