Indians Are Trying to Lock-up Their Future

Sunday, Indians Catcher Carlos Santana celebrated his 26th birthday by ripping two home runs, helping the Tribe pick up their first win of the season...Tuesday he had something else to celebrate...

Tuesday Santana signed a five-year, $21 million extension with the Indians, with a club option of $12 million for 2017...The switch-hitting catcher is on verge of being a super-star...

Last year, Santana came back from a major knee injury, and hit 27 HR's...35 doubles...2 triples...With 79 RBI's...A .351 on-base percentage and a .239 batting average...Without a doubt, the Indians want to see his batting average improve...They also want to see some improvement in his defense...


Which, we are starting to see some of that already, as bench coach, and former Indians catching great, Sandy Alomar Jr. has been working a great deal with Santana...He's also not going to be playing as much at 1st base as he did last season, now that he is completely healthy...

This news comes a week after signing slick fielding, Silver Slugger winning shortstop, Asdrubal Cabrera to a two-year, $16.5 million extension, that will keep under contract for three more years...


Without a doubt, these two guys are core pieces to build around...And it looks like the Indians may be going back to John Hart's old play-book, from back in the '90s, when he locked up, their young, talented players early, to try and get the most out of them, and not get raked over the coals in Arbitration and Free-Agency...

The only question is...Who's next to be signed? I say they should lock-up starter, Justin Masterson...

Later, The Beeze.

"New Year's Rockin' Eve" My Ass!

Seriously, look at that orange bastard...Every year ABC has Dick Clark ,and his moosh mouth, propped up like another sequel to "Weekend at Bernie's"...This shit is ridiculous...Since his stroke a number of years ago, Dick has struggled with the countdown...Shit, he's struggled to talk, but it's his show, and whether it's him, or the network, the son of a bitch is there every year saying "Nappy Dew Year!"

While that's annoying as hell, I can get past the freak show aspect...But I have a big problem with the title..."Rockin' Eve"?????? There wasn't a a rockin' act all night...There wasn't even rock act...It was all Pop, Rap, and Country...It was garbage...

That annoying cunt Lady Gaga was on, doing her 'Look at me, I'm so profound' bullshit again...Hey, Gaga we already saw Madonna do this shit years ago...You try to sound like her, and you try to make a spectacle like her...You aren't profound or original...You're just a another dirty gash!

But then I got really pissed, when fucking Justin Bieber rolls out...Sitting at a piano, trying to talk all deep, and share his life lessons with us, and then he jumps into The Beatles "Let It Be"...Fuck you! This little shit ruined it...And for the guitar solo they wheel Carlos Santana out there...They got the Biebes playing a Beatles tune, with old ass Santana...Hmm, you think they are trying to sell him to an older audience as well now!?!



Fucking disgusting...

And Fuck Santana too...For a talented mother fucker, he loves jumping on other peoples coat-tails...His last couple hits were with other singers like Rob Thomas...Hey Carlos have some faith in your talent, and skills, and stop letting other people carry you...

I have some Canadian friends, and they just love it when they can say, "We do that better then you!" Well guess what...They did New Year's Eve better then us...They at least took care of the Rockin' part...New Year's Eve at Niagara Falls, with The Sheepdogs, Simple Plan, and Our Lady Peace...I don't actually know Simple Plan, but they play guitars, and do a rock like thing...The Sheepdogs got a Southern-rock vibe, and OLP made their name in the '90's during the "Alternative" movement...




Hey ABC, Dick Clark, Ryan Seacrest, and Justin Bieber, That's rockin'!





"HAPPY DEW YEAR!"
