Call All Road Trippers

I hope everyone out there is doing well, staying healthy. It's been a while since I've posted. Been busy with work and all. Same old same old. And I haven't had a lot to say. The Yanks have made some moves (see ya Randy) and I'll discuss those later as we draw closer to spring training. But the hot stove has cooled off, and to be honest, the break from the constant posting has been nice.
I got an e-mail yesterday from a guy named Brian. Brian is a NY Casting Director who was hired to cast the upcoming season of YES Ultimate Road Trip. For those of you not familiar with the show, the general premise is that a bunch of lucky Yankee fans get to go to every game. Think the Real World meets MLB. Anyway, I'm laying on the floor last night watching some tube,and my MSN messenger makes the little noise it makes when I get e-mail. I turn my head up to see who it's from and it reads roadtrip@yesnetworktv.com. My first thought is "holy **** I'm getting recruited to go on the show. Sweet." But that wasn't the case. Brian's trying to get the word out about the show and that's its casting and thought the blogosphere would be a good forum to get the word out. Now normally, I wouldn't shill something but, I watch the show, I like the show, and I don't mind posting a little something to help them out. All the info can also be found at Yesnetwork.com. Personally, I'd love to try out for the show, but you know, some of us have jobs and families we can't just leave, as much as we'd like to, even for the Yankees Here's the shill:
