What a Glorious Day!

This is a glorious day for baseball fans everywhere.  After the doldrums of your team losing out on a World Series title (its been seven years since the Yanks have won), after all the free agent drama (A-Rod) and trade talk (Johan Santana), after all the nonsense from Congress (Clemens and Pettitte) . . .

The big day is finally here.  Pitchers and catchers have reported to spring training!  The Yankee blogs will spring to life, and the pre-season games will finally begin on March1.  Opening day is just around the corner!  The first item of business is that the Yanks announced that "Legends Field," their home in Tampa, has been renamed "George M. Steinbrenner Field."  It's good to be the king!

In honor of this glorious occasion, I'll fire up John Fogerty's "Centerfield" as part of my i-Tunes rotation today.  Might even listen to it twice!

We're all praying for you here in San Diego, Kim.

My brother says that there are only two seasons: Baseball Season and The Void.

As long as you don't listen to Fogerty on the Sabbath...

Actually I'm celebrating that NASCAR is back, but then again "pitchers and catchers report" is an occasion for a holiday as well!

Oh yeah, the annual tradition begins again! We are the defending champs and looking forward to seeing your boys at the Fens on April 11. Here's to a great season for all!!!

Ah, yes, Rob, that we are - defending champs. Just hope the Sox aren't too worn down by their overseas opening trip to begin the penant defense in proper form!

Lakers are still playing strong. So Don't forget Basketball Season

March Madness trumps any Baseball Season or playoffs.

I'll even take the 4 Majors on the PGA Tour over baseball.

And please MLB, does it even show up on the radar screen of College FB or the NFL?

But I still love your theology, Kim! :)
