block buster trades!!

Over the last 3 days Major League Baseball has been incredible to watch and follow. Players are getting money on top of money. The main free agent would have to be Albert Pujols who was just signed by the Angels. The contract is for 254 million dollars and he will be there for ten years. Another free agent that was signed to the Angels is C.J Wilson. He will receive 77.5 million dollars for 5 seasons. Eventough Pujols was offered 275 million by the Miami Marlins it was a good choice to go to the Angels. The mentality of that would be if he got to old to play first base he can be the designated hitter. Another thing that makes it better is that all of the Los Angeles Sports Teams are gearing up for the upcoming season. The Lakers are trying to get both Dwight Howard and Chris Paul. The Clippers have a young team but ESPN analyst are saying they will do good this season. The Dodgers are looking like the only team that will be a dissapointment. They did sign Matt Kemp and kept him as a Dodger but he wont be enough to reach a World Series Tittle. All these possible trades will be good for the Los Angeles fans. If Los Angeles does get a football team it will be a great time to be from Los Angeles. Alot of Jobs to be opening up. And alot of money to be made at sports bars and restaurants. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AviPfDVmVXjKJAFwfEPkP9URvLYF?slug=jp-passan_pujols_wilson_arte_moreno_angels_marlins_120811

There was a story in USA today that attracted a lot of peoples attention. It seems that now more then ever there is a need for Santa to deliver some presents. In a service by the post office called Operation Santa matches letters from needy children with donors in the community willing to fulfill their holiday wishes. Crystal Skipwith was one of the kids who 20 years ago got all her wishes fulfilled. She explains how "every child deserves to have a smile on their face." Pete Fontana who is the chief of Elf operations expects a record number of Santa letters from needy children. Most of the families are still struggling with the mest up economy. Just to give an example of how many letters are received their are about 5,000 letters received by the post office the day after thanksgiving. People who want to participate and adopt letters can do so by going to participating post offices. It is encouraged to go out and make a childs or a families christmas a one to remember.
