Today is the worst day of the year.

Oh no! This is GOOD! 09 season is OVER and we get to start fresh getting ready for NEXT season! Today is the first day of 010! (season)

IB, so you're a "glass is half-full" kind of guy, huh?

Not only am I a "glass is half-empty" kind of guy, I'm ticked off that when the glass is completely empty, then I'll have to wash the dang thing.

Go Cubbies!!!

Yup, that was a good $201.4 million investment!

“People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.”

The very thought BD makes me shudder, but...we are fortunate enough in AZ to keep watching some good ball with the Arizona Fall League for a couple more weeks...

Then...it's the winter men's softball leagues! Just to take the bite off of not being able to turn on the tv to watch a game just about anytime of day...even though I can catch a good club ball tournament just about every weekend 'round here...not to mention catching some JC scrimmages down the street...

Then...it's back to the best time of year...baseball season!!! ...and I don't have to brag anymore about what we have here in AZ when it comes to BB do I?...cuz I can keep going...

My suggestion for your malaise?...move to AZ, where you can get your baseball fix anytime of year! It definately takes the edge off of not having any trees around here...

Just think, you have another year of JD Drew at $14M...

SWEET!

Jason Bay may look great in pinstripes!

Absolutely......Its the best day.....The Pirates are tied for the top spot in the division!

Let's go yankees!!!

Da da...da da daaa!

2007 World Series Champs!!!

Yes!!!!

.

"...and I don't have to brag anymore about what we have here in AZ..."

Yeah, yeah, yeah...put a block in it!



...keep rubbing it in Coach!

"It definately takes the edge off of not having any trees around here..."

Sorry about that. As you can see I did leave some for you back up there on on Tempe Butte... you best head up that way and stay in the shade! There's a particularly nice grove up near the summit...can't miss it!

I'm confused, I thought it was 2009.

That's the spirit 3 Dot! Good for you!

Keep that enemy fire spread out...this tag team we've got going will be hard to pin down!

and for me- 17 more weeks till my Met pitchers and catchers report to Port St Lucie!

Of course- when that comes around, several Mets will probably get injuries while loading their gear into the car and be out for the season!

I'm wearing my Boston Red Sox hat today.

And we get an entire off-season of those smug Yankee fans and their gloating...

They're like the rich parents of a kid on your son's team who really is good, but they never stop talking about how great he is, and it's so annoying that you'd rather see the kid strike out with bases loaded than win the game...

Bart Giamatti said it best:

"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone."

It is sunny and 70 this morning in G'ville. But I still feel those chill rains...

But HS practices start on January 18!

You gotta love it....

Redsox fans hate this day and bitter fans all over the country will resort to ...

The Yanks bought this championship blah bah blah.

It was nice to see Andy start the game, Mo Close it, and Jorge catch. Oh and jeter bat .400 in the post season, the overrated Jeter that is.

We bask in the hate!

2007 World Series Champions, da yanks.
