signs of spring


I bought this pot of crocuses a couple of weeks ago and suddenly they are in bloom, just in time for pitchers and catchers reporting to Clearwater. Two strong signs of spring converge on a cold, grey day in February.

J.C. Romero spoke today about his suspension. Now that is one guy who can only move on. There's nothing much he can do about the situation but put it behind him, get ready for the World Baseball Classic, and stay in shape for his comeback later in the season.

Ryan Howard and Brett Myers have reportedly shed 50 or so pounds between them. See what a championship will do for you.

No surprise here: Cole Hamels will be the starting pitching when the Phillies open the season with the Braves on April 5. Did I mention that I have tix to the game? Woohoo!
