Its Monday..time to get back in gear and get the week rolling.  Had a great weekend..weather was nice and hung out with the family which is always a good time.  I did a lot of yard work and also planted a new garden.  On both Saturday and Sunday I went for long runs and they were awesome, the weather was great.  The Sox had a four gamer series with the hated Yanks over the weekend and ended up going 1-3 which is never good in any series but against New York it always hurts a little bit more.  I am excited to watch the home run derby tonight and tomorrow night is the all star game.  Kind of sad but not surprised the Red Sox only have one player representing the team in this years all star game and that is David Ortiz who will DH for the American League squad.  In other Beantown sports new, the highly loved and 3 point specialist Ray Allen signed a 2 year/6.3 million dollar contract with the Miami Heat.  I have been a Celtics fan for many years now and this decision is very bittersweet.  Ray has always been a class act in the league and I understand his reasoning to go to the Heat..to win, but at the same time it does hurt that is where he chose to go.  It is almost reminiscent of when Damon signed a deal with the Yanks.  All in all, Ray is a great player and I wish him all the best down in South Beach.  With that being said..enjoy the day and be safe!
