A Spring Training Preview

It’s a mere month and a half until pitchers and catchers report for duty and I’m chomping at the bit in anticipation of Spring Training.  I’ve been attending Spring Traning games and practices since I was a kid and it’s easily my favorite time of year.  There’s a park less than a mile from where [...]

Under The Lights: Balls and Shaft

Well, what a fantastic day here at the compound. Hefler showed up and dropped two posts of knowledge on our asses. Well, one of knowledge and the other one was mocking “New Yorkers” but I am sure if that had a New England accent attached it would apply equally. Spencer continued his tour of [...]

Under The Lights: A Busy Weekend

Well, we have had quite the week around here. The band seems to be getting back together. Which is good for me and you. For me, it means I have less work to do. For you, it means you have more shit to read. All of which I am in favor of. I [...]
