Buffalo Boy's Blog

I haven't been posting for a while, if for no other reason than its summer, I have been busy and honestly, I haven't had much to say.

I have been listening and watching and checking things out though and staying tuned but what more can be said about the oil spill that hasn't already been beaten to a pulp?

I do have a few things I want to get off my chest though:

1. The Sabres: Their only big name signing is Rob Niedermayer, Its a name only, the last name is familiar but really this is a third line guy at best. Sure he gives some depth but if this is the only forward signing/move of significance Darcy Regier has come to the end of his stay here as GM. Other than Niedermayer he has signed a guy by the name of Conboy who will be a fourth liner or depth for Portland at best and this Whitmore guy who again, hes Portland depth at best.

Nickels and dimes but no big money. You can't nickel and dime your way to the playoffs and if this is going to be our offseason maybe there needs to be a shake up in the front office.

2. Got to the break and the Jays are hanging around .500, When Doc left everyone in Toronto thought doomsday was upon this team. Not only have they been entertaining, they have been downright competitive and have shown they can play with the big boys. Any other division than the AL East and this team is very close to a playoff spot if not winning their division. It could still get interesting, Boston is not that good with all their injuries the Jays could make a run at third place. Look for Lyle Overbay to be subject of trades for the rest of this month and possibly John Buck.

3. A lot of you were wondering what was going on with my post on facebook and all I can say is I will comment more on here later about what happened this past week, need to give it a little distance before commenting.

4. I am so sick of watching the state lawmakers delay and stall getting a budget together. This will do nothing but hurt citizens of this state. I already has by closing state parks and this fall its going to hurt our schools. quality teachers are being cut and some from schools that can ill afford to have staff cut. Ultimately it hurts the education kids will get. How anyone can consider cutting education or healthcare is a good thing is beyond me. Lets start with cutting the New York State Thruway Authority and go from there.

Until the budget gets passed how bout our governor grow a set of balls and take away every government lawmakers pay starting with his own. Yes, I say every state politician from the governor on down to the state assembly go without pay until they get this states budget done without cutting healthcare or education. Its possible, figure it out.

Sorry for the lack of posts, Ill be on more now, I have a few extra hours a day I didn't have as of this past week.
