Doesn’t it seem that we get excited about the arrival of spring only to be disappointed that over the next month or so there will be plenty of days that will remind us more of winter?
The Mets had to release Luis Castillo and Oliver Perez and swallow $18 million in salary for two players that won’t be wearing their uniform this season. The contracts of those two are among the worst in club history ranking right there with Bobby Bonilla, Vince Coleman and Kaz Matsui. Every Met fans worst nightmare is Castillo or Perez will go somewhere else and perform like All Stars.
A day after he hit a 3-run homer Todd Frazier was among 8 players who the Cincinnati Reds re-assigned to their minor league camp. The former Toms River South standout is expected to start the season with the Reds triple-A team in Louisville, Kentucky. The 25-year old Frazier saw action as both an outfielder and infielder in Arizona and in 29 at-bats hit .241 with two homers and 5 RBI’s.
I am fascinated by some of the shows on the Food Network but none more than “Chopped” which features four chefs competing against one another making appetizers, entrees and desserts with ingredients that simply don’t belong. Somehow though they make it work under incredible time pressure and watching it can be draining and exhilarating at the same time.
Isn’t it amazing how our mind works when it comes to gas prices? An increase of a few cents a gallon makes us moan and groan while a decrease is reason to celebrate. Plus we always quote the price without rounding off the nine-tenths at the end to what should be the higher number. If it’s $329.9 per gallon it’s really $3.30 but we’ll say $3.29.
Congratulations to Maureen Stankowitz who has been named the new President of the Toms River-Ocean County Chamber of Commerce after spending the last fifteen years as the Executive Director of the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce. Stankowitz replaces longtime President Lucy Greene who retired last summer. Jean Hryniw has been serving as Interim President and will stay on as part of the chamber staff.
