			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First of all, Merry Christmas to all of you and your families. Christmas morning was fun at the Stratton household. I have three boys, Xander, Aidan, and Owen. Xander is 4, Aidan is 2, and Owen is 6 months old. Xander seems to really understand the whole Santa thing for the first time; Aidan declared every toy he or his brother got to be &#8220;mine;&#8221; and Owen really liked playing with and trying to eat the wrapping paper. As I type this, the family and I are heading north to New Jersey to visit family for the holidays (yea for WordPress for Blackberry!).</p>
<p>So I was wrong about the Giants last Monday night, New York was playing like a desperate tiger cornered, and Washington played like they were trying to schedule their tee times.</p>
<p>Tomorrow is the next step for the Giants, as they host the Carolina Panthers in their home finale. To commemorate the game, the Giants are going to play a video tribute at halftime that will feature a song by Bruce Springsteen (nope, the Boss won&#8217;t actually be there). Although I haven&#8217;t heard officially, you can expect the Giants to bring back some former greats as honorary captains. I heard a rumor that Lawrence Taylor will be one of them. Unfortunately, Phil Simms will be working for CBS, otherwise he probably would be there as well. I would also expect to see Harry Carson.</p>
<p>The Panthers will be starting Matt Moore at quarterback again, after Jake Delhomme went on injured reserve earlier this week in a move that could end his career in Carolina.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be there, so I&#8217;ll post the crappy pictures that I get.</p>
<p>BACK TO THE FUTURE?</p>
<p>The New York Yankees seem to be embracing past seasons as of late, signing Nick Johnson and trading for Javier Vasquez. Both players used to play for the Yankees.</p>
<p>I like the Johnson signing; I&#8217;ve long been a fan of him, even while he was playing in Washington for the Nationals.</p>
<p>As for the Vasquez trade, I&#8217;m not sold on him. First of all, we had to give Melky Cabrera to the Braves, and I liked watching the &#8220;Melk Man&#8221; in New York. But more importantly, Vasquez was unimpressive last time he was on the roster, posting an ERA just under 5.</p>
<p>But wait! Vasquez said he was injured most of the season, but kept it to himself. Well, that&#8217;s a little bette&#8230;WAIT A MOMENT!!! So he was hurt and didn&#8217;t tell anymore? In 2004? So we could have shelfed him for a while in the regular season, gotten him back for the playoffs, and maybe would not have had to star Kevin F***ing Brown in Game 7 against the Red Sox? THANKS A LOT, A**HOLE!!</p>
