One of my favorite passages from a good Baseball movie – Field of Dreams. What better time to reflect than the beginning of spring training. I know – pretty sappy!
‘Ray. People will come, Ray. They’ll come to Iowa for reasons they can’t even fathom. They’ll turn up your driveway not knowing [...]

In the movie “The Wedding Crashers” Vince Vaughn asks Owen Wilson which is better: “wedding season or Christmas season?”
I say: “Baseball season. Specifically, spring training.” Everything is new, nothing is determined and you can speculate forever. Even the Red Sox have a chance in spring training. Ha Ha Ha. [...]

Joe: I’ll get back to posting after the curling finals. What a great sport – older people with no muscle tone can win Olympic gold. Back to Steinbrenner tomorrow.

Hey, the Yankees are in camp. We were all waiting for spring training to start. Where is the dialogue? Remember, Baseball is more important than your jobs. Mike T. put down that brief and start writing about Randy Johnson. The two Johns (sounds like a hooker convention) where are you guys. [...]

As with everyone else, I am glad to hear what is coming out of Tampa in the early going. The cynic in me has me wondering if Torre’s forceful, closed door remarks to the team has anything to do with the fact that Lou Pinella is sitting at home, just a few miles away, [...]

Read a Damon quote today that basically said he will tone down his antics in the clubhouse this year, because “This is Derek’s team, and we need to follow his example” Nice to see he is showing the proper respect.
The “Boss” said the Yankees will win the world Seriess this year. More importantly, [...]

I wanted to give Cashman a big “thumps up” this winter and now in spring training. I was pleased to read the article on yankees.com that reported Cashman pulling Sheffield aside and told him that the organization was likely to pick up Sheffield’s $13 million option.
I like this for a couple of [...]

Dear A-Rod:
Take it from me, a self described baseball junkie and ardent Yankee fan, I could care less about the WBC. I think it’s a lousy idea. I would actually prefer that you sit out altogether but I understand the pressure on you to play. Just focus on staying healthy and [...]

Thanks for working this through, Mike. You get the first steak on Roundtable Day.
A-Rod’s in the paper today, blaming MLB and the Union for the flap over his waffling on the WBC. He’s probably right, but he should just keep his mouth shut and stop worrying about what everybody thinks of [...]

… for taking the site down on Saturday without warning. (Amazing that Russ was able to squeeze in one last post just before the site went down.) A friend of mine was hosting this site for me and he was no longer able to keep his webserver. I had to find a [...]
