... I'm so ready for Spring that I have been paying extra close attention to pre-season baseball this year. Right now the Mets are playing the Twins in Florida. Wish I was there but I can listen on "Game Day Audio". Its a case of divided loyalties for me since I've come to appreciate the Twins after living in the Twin Cities for almost 30 years. Still....you can take the boy out of New York but.... ... Ralph

On Sunday I took my ex-fast-pitch softball pitcher daughter to Hammond Stadium in Fort Myers (as a birthday gift) to watch our Phillies stick it to the Twinkies, 6 to 3 (it was worse than it appears ... the Twins runs were all unearned and scored on two wild pitches and a passed ball! And the Phillies left 9 or 10 on base ... disgusting!)

I keep forgetting it's still cold up there! I'll feel sorry for you guys now!!! But before too long, it'll be nice up there and I'll be "sweatin' to the Oldies" down here! 8-) I guess it all balances out!
