Cleaning out the Inbox

Time for a quick swipe of the inbox as we close in on the holidays.
Not a ton has built up,but sometimes that is the best time!

First on the docket features the USPS,who claims that they are losing so much money due to the internet that they need to close down mail processing centers since they have yet to be allowed to cancel Saturday delivery in yet another dumb idea.
The closings will trim first class mail delivery from one to two to a new standard of two to three.
One thing that the country needs to put 100,000 workers on the streets and slow the mail,which will hurt the rural person the most...
Oh,Brother....

The Cleveland Indians signed two players and dealt for a third in an attempt to salvage some fading careers.
Former Cubs top prospect Felix Pie and veteran utility infielder Jose Lopez were added from the free agent roster and outfielder Aaron Cunningham was acquired from San Diego for minor league pitcher Cory Burns.
Pie struggled with the Orioles and Lopez is nothing special,Cunningham has been a long time favorite here,but has never been able to stick with a team and the Indians will be his fifth organization.

Time for a word or two on the Ohio State sanctions that will leave Ohio State without a bowl game next season.
This should be the last straw for President Gordon Gee and Athletic Director Gene Smith,who have botched this at every turn from day one.
Ohio State should have sacrificed this season with a mediocre 6-6 Gator Bowl team and been able to hit the ground running under Urban Meyer.
One year will likely not make a difference in the big picture,but the bungling pair should have hit the program harder when the loss of a bowl would be no big deal.
Both of these two need to go and soon....

Finally,thanks to Rachel for putting this up on YouTube.
See if you recognize any of these people!!
