Drew Chose Red Sox Over Athletics Cardinals Due To Playing Time - RealGM Wiretap
There were a number of teams interested in Stephen Drew this offseason Cheap Jerseys , but he said the decision came down to playing time.
"It was kind of crazy and I didn't really know where I was going to go," Drew said. "I know there were other teams out there. I knew there were others in the mix. For me, it all had to do with how I had to come back from the ankle injury. That was going into my free-agent year. I knew that meant teams wanted to see if I could still play.
"I needed the time to show them I could."
His decision came down to Boston or Oakland. He accepted a one-year, $9.5 million deal with the Red Sox.
The Cardinals couldn't offer Drew consistent playing time because they have Rafael Furcal under contract.
Burnett Wins In Eighth Straight Start - RealGM Wiretap The Pirates got another strong outing from A.J. Burnett on Thursday as the right-hander won his eighth-straight start. He allowed three runs over six-plus innings in Pittsburgh's 5-4 victory over Philadelphia. "The numbers might [exceed expectations]," manager Clint Hurdle said. "But as far as coming in and competing, I don't have expectations. I was a young player Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping , a bunch of expectations were put on me. I have experience with that. I tell them what I expect from them as far as preparation and focus and those things. Once they compete, A.J. has pitched well. The fact that he has run off eight in a row, that's significant, but there is a lot more that goes with that." 锘? This is not the usual HAMMER TYME that everyone has known or come to expect. I ask you bear with me and let me explain. I have chosen to break format because sometimes old school is better than new school. I have learned I am far from the greatest listener in the world. I became a victim to the bigger and better mode. When I began wrestling, it was all about the belt. I had to be the next Nick Bockwinkle; I was the Hulk Hogan of the next generation. Brock Lesner was only champion because I never met him. Yes, I was so full of myself and TOO big for my britches. I needed a reality check. I thought I had grown up but soon when I had the urge to get back into the ring it happened again.
I had met a friend who started his own wrestling federation and made me an offer that I could not refuse. Before I knew it Wholesale NFL Jerseys , I was wrestling and the Heavyweight Champion of his group. I was living my dream and having the time of my life. Therefore, I thought anyway, it was not until one day I was leaving the gym and noticed it was work and not fun. I had enjoyed what I did. I was like a homemaker who had to tune in to see what happened on the next episode of wrestling, I had to buy every pay per view, check in on the websites and live wrestling. It overshadowed what I wanted to achieve. I just never realize it then.
I soon chose that I needed a break as I felt burnt out and unappreciated in reality it was that I had beaten myself. I was so looking for the next big challenge that I never stopped to smell the roses or enjoy my success.
I had decided I wanted one more match. I had a friend who owns a group and I sent him an email asking for a try out. It was because I wanted it. I chose to return, not for a title or money but for my enjoyment and performing in front of a crowd. I was and am a big ham. I love to show off and make people smile and laugh. I think I should have been a circus clown. However Wholesale Jerseys , the performer soon was unfortunately overshadowed once more. Greed soon found its way in my heart. I fooled myself into believing I was better than I was. I did not spend much time training I said I was better than that. I thought I could just hit the track do three miles like the old days and my skills would take me to victory. I thought I was invincible. It got worse I was planning my next championship conquest..Hey I have not had a match in 9yrs and I should walk in and be a champion. What arrogance and cockiness considering the company I was in. At best, I was an average wrestler and given my performance, I was occasionally less than average. My only benefit was that my friends did not want to hurt my feelings so they strung me along. I was carried like Rocky was and I see why that is a bad thing now. We fall into the trap of thinking we are better than what we really are. No one wants to be the loser. I had a guidance councilor give me the greatest advice in a question form. Why is everything black and white, win or lose, cant grey be acceptable? At the time, I thought sure it was Cheap Jerseys From China , but grey or loses did not pay the bills. WIN and Black paid huge. The offer of $160,000 for ECW and better if I went WWE too good to pass up especially for a young person. However, does life always have to revolve around WWE and the biggest?
Boy I thought it did. It became such an obsession that I lost sight on fun and found myself more determined than ever to be the biggest and best. Until that day in October when I climbed into the ring. I was to do a flip over someone. I had done it hundreds of times and could do it in my sleep. Except leading up to that day I did not train much or take it serious to me, it was oh my skill would save me. I was wrong, very wrong. I did not factor in that I added about 40lbs and was out of shape. I went up lost my balance and came crashing down on my neck and shoulders. I was fortunate not to end up paralyzed or worse. After that, I realized that I was not invincible. Instead of using that as a wake up call Cheap NFL Jerseys , I turned it into an excuse to run and hide. I gave up. I did not think, talk or watch wrestling. I quit the gym and felt sorry for myself. Then hid behind my injury. I talked up the injury to make it worse than what it was and used it to get sympathy. I learned I sold things well always did guess that is why I was a good wrestler or performer.
Growing up in the 1970s wre.
