The players make the game. All we can do, as officials, is just react. You can't make chicken soup from chicken sh!t.

Enjoy the good ones. Forget the bad ones.

Article in the local paper today talking about Felix Hernandez - Mariners pitcher...guess he lost 20 pounds and is in fantastic shape and they are looking for him to have a break-out season and become the ace the M's have needed the last few seasons. Sigh...I don't know why I bother getting my hopes uo...guess that's why they call us "fanatics"...

The Tigers got to Lakeland early.
They lost a 3-pitch-per-outing ptcher, lefty Jamie Walker.
Sheffield is smiling as much as Chris Weber.

Well the M's did end last season on a 2 game win streak. That did put them within 15 games of the A's........

I am a A's fan who enjoys the surprise of what we get every year, will Piazza get us 20, 30 who knows.

Um, no, actually we call you Mariners fans "idiots". Don't take that personally though.

Thanks, Mick. I'll delete that other thread so that we don't have dueling baseball threads. Maybe on opening day, we can lure Chuck Elias out of retirement for a day to start this year's thread. It would seem kind of strange if he didn't.

I agree. I hope to read his assessment on the upcoming season, a season which could be kinda fun.

It's nice to hear about the good things some MLB players do, instead of hearing about drugs and arrests. Especially since this one is a Rangers player:

Quote:
CHINANDEGA, Nicaragua -- Even before he made millions of dollars in the Majors, Rangers pitcher Vicente Padilla remembered the limitations that he was surrounded by during his childhood. Those memories created a desire to start up a project aimed at assisting the most needy children in his hometown of Chinandega.

On Friday at the Hotel Los Volcanes, Padilla, introduced the Vicente Padilla Foundation, a foundation created to support local students in sports while at the same time stimulating the studies of young people who have good qualifications and sparse economic resources.
Plus, Hank Blalock's shoulder should be 100% by Opening Day!

LAKELAND, Fla. -- How did the first full workout go for the Tigers?
"Perfect," manager Jim Leyland said. "We got all the work in that we wanted to, and everybody knew where they were supposed to go. Invariably, when you have 60 players, someone doesn't."

And in other news, Manny isn't able to make spring training because he's taking care of his ailing mother at a car auction in NJ.
