It's Baa-aack..!

Spring is in the air...Many of the Sunbelt JC's start today...California JC's have a full schedule - all-be-it around the raindrops...

Clear skies, high OBP's, low ERA's, and starting postions for all!

It aint BAAAAAA===ck here----BRRRRRRRRR---20 degrees and windy this morning


Thank heaven for warm gyms and college hoops

.

Ah yes...spring awakens...in another two or three months!



It was below zero this morning here 44.



Our crocus and daffodils can still be seen on the beaches at Cancun drinking fruity drinks with those little parasols perched on the rim.



I'm glad you're excited...when I put another notch on the handle of my trusty snow shovel after one more successful clearing I'll be thinking of you 44...side-stepping your scattered raindrops!



Here's a little something to keep your vernal momentum going...

We're in the 30's here in San Antonio. Brrrrrr!

BUT......baseball has begun! Today is the first official day of hs baseball season in Texas and my son's coach is taking full advantage of it. The players had to be at school early this morning for BP at Practice #1 and will be at it again after school for Practice #2. Same drill for tomorrow. Never thought I'd hear about 2-a-days for baseball!

First scrimmage is 2/4 and first district game is 2/19. My family is amped!

.

In the 30's...in San Antonio?

Don't worry Infield08...I checked the label...this stuff doesn't freeze up 'til around 25°F...it's got some natural occurring anti-freeze in it.

Lucky you!

We are ready! Practice has been in full swing for 2 weeks and I gotta say the middle infield looks awesome. First scrimmage is a week from today, pre-season tournament two weeks from today, and opening day is Feb 12. Go Blue Wave!!

Well tomorrow it is supposed to be in the 40's with rain here in Nebraska, hopefully the snow will start melting and we can get outside!

.
Sorry about that 20 degrees and windy...Yikes!..just remember this immortal words, "There's no place like spring, There's no place like spring..."...and it IS coming...

...And let's see now Woodman...Fires, earthquakes, Mudslides, liberals, $600K for a tract house, budget crisis, Britney/Paris...but early Spring?..Jetzt redest du vernünftig!

Jetzt redest du vernünftig!

Wow!

I never thought anyone would ever say that about me!

30's and 40's here in South Louisiana, we are not used to this. Also, Rain, Rain, Rain, more Rain. The boys have been in the gym a lot more than outside. First scrimmage is February 9th, hopefully the rain stops and it warms up a little.

Been practicing for ten days...intrasquad the past two days and again tomorrow. Temps in the 30's and 40's...
...must get acclimated because season opener is next Saturday.

GotWood - Your crocus's and daffodils are vacationing in Cancun? You must pay them a heck of a lot more than I pay mine!

You must be from the northern suburbs of Chicago.

Wasn't sure about haloo so I Googled© it and the first choice was a naughty site!

Upon further investigation elsewhere I think haloo is short for hallucinate.

With thar said 44...don't worry...I won't!

I dunno' Infield08...not all of Texas is under heavy clouds...Guadalupe Peak, out in Hudspeth County, looks pretty inviting today......

Perhaps so, but it's awfully hard to play baseball on that terrain!

(I double dog dare you to find a photo of a baseball diamond on Guadalupe Peak! )
