Packing up in Toronto...

Today is a travel day in Toronto. I packed up this morning after a good breakfast.
That is, I packed after going back to bed for a while;) That's normal for me. Then it's
lunch and to the ballpark.

I caught the news today that Paula is leaving American Idol. In
Canada, it's not as big of a news story, but I heard about it first thing this
AM. It's going to be different without her. She's the nice judge. No
matter how someone performed, they could always count on Paula. I think
they'll bring her back. Otherwise just won't be the same.

Here on Weplay, I've read over the comments from the past month or so
and couldn't believe all your support. Win or lose you're there. And,
I appreciate all the best wishes for my birthday and for beating that
flu we had going around.

Before the end of the next home stand I'll jump back on answer some of
your questions here, but before I go... Denise, I'm not on Facebook so
whoever that is trying to friend you it isn't me. I'm only right here
on Weplay!

    I've been a NYY fan for my whole life, even though in NC it's mostly Braves fans. I got a Rawlings Jeter glove when I was in tee ball, so I became a NYY fan. I went to my 1st Yankee game on 6/30. I'm going again 8/25. Cant wait 2 c u guys play again!!

  • August 11, 2009

    All of you played the 4 great games with Boston Sox. That's awesome!!! Keep going and we believe Yankees will be No.1 this year! Today you played a great game with Blue Jay even though Yankees lost the game. Cheers!

    Hey Derek,
    Just wanted to give a shout out and say what a great season you're having. Can you say MVP? I know you aren't thinking that way, but the rest of us are. Thanks for being such an inspirational role model for kids. As a teacher it means so much.

    Jeter I can't believe you actually read what people write that's why you are a fan favorite most players could care less about what we think they just want all the publicity but not you you're a great person God bless you - Mary Cate

    Hey Derek! You & the Yanks have done the most outstanding play this year ever! I am so proud of you guys! If you guys are to play the world series, especially against the Marlins again this year & be the world's champion, that will really make my year!

  • August 26, 2009

    I just wanted to add on Derek, even though I've been living in Miami for years, the Marlins have never been any interest to me! As a matter of fact, ever since the world series "03", the Marlins have became like the Red Sox to me! Keep up the good work!!!

    out of season 1 and 7 of American Idol (those were the only seasons i really watched from beginning 2 end), and i love kelly clarkson and david cook...
