That's just great ...CJ and Albert to the Angels?

Oh Lord, why-why-why was I born a A's fan?

Guess I'll have to up my meds next season ...again.

On the bright side, at least it wasn't Boston.

Albert Pujols got really greedy. I think it is a darn shame he refused to stay with the Cardinals. They tried to get him to sign twice this year.


Long time St. Louis Cardinals fan

TC you mean lewis hamilton's MP4-26 or a 1994 f1? I've always wanted one of those and an F40.

it's a weird universe now that everyone knows how much I'll be making especially on here because the threat of MC-Hammering it on cars is how we roll...haha

having my own professional race car team will suffice for now, not really looking to get anything extra for the tiny *** garage I've got here at the place I'm renting in beverly hills. have to get a new place soon!

johnny bahamas- just leave the a's man. nobody will notice!!

CJ,

You need to start hitting a few track days before spring training

well, technically you are not driving a Ducati.

And, I have pretty much given up riding my Ducati and have been getting my fix from the car now.

Some good track days in January at Chuckwalla and Fontana and it isn't too far for you.

But that's okay - because Beverly Hills is calling, and retirement will be SO sweet!

Congrats again, and enjoy your new local...

I'm not sure the 599 would enjoy much more than the drive through the grapevine or the desert but on track I prefer full on race cars. it would be great to have my grand-am ST class MX5 cup car with no mufflers chasing and harassing you guys at a track like buttonwillow though!
