BASEBALL!

[Dominique]

Some statements were made with lower pay roll teams and I think baseball may finally come into alignment with these out of proportion salaries.

The Tigers and the Indians were very successful to name two. The Pirates
had a far better year than a year ago. (with lower payrolls)

I'm excited to see what the offseason will bring.

Congratulations to both the Rangers and the Cardnials. Too bad one had to
called a looser. They were not loosers.

I know, I felt for the Rangers! I like Washington a lot and Nolan Ryan (although he could stop asking "W" to games). It had to hurt to lose the WS two times in two seasons!

I think both the Pirates and the Togers will be back with a roar- the D-Backs, too. I am keeping close tabs on my Giants and some of the guys ZI hope become starters like Crawford at Short. But, Fontenot is quite good and still under contract. I am hoping Freddie Sanchez is back at the start of training camp along with Buster Posey.

Geez, Posey has been making big strides in recovering, but he had a hell of an injury and I don't know about him catching again. He is such a good athlete, I bet he finds his way back, though.

We have got to get some strong and consistent bats going. The bullpen cannot have the kind of pressure on it that it did this past season. Those guys were terrified to throw one off pitch.

OK, now, I am going to go to the opener here in SF- and it is vs. the Pirates!!! You know, you and your partner need a vacation and what better place than the SF Bay Area in Spring!!! You two can stay in my RV and we can take BART over to SF to the games. See, way inexpensive!! Just planting an idea.... you can always rent a kayak for McCovy Cove. 'Course, I'm sitting in the stands, but I'll throw you both some lunch out there!!!

WOW, it would be way kewl if some of us from the thread could somehow meet at a game or two next season!! If my finances get better, who knows! And yes, if any of you are going to be in CA and in the Bay Area, I can set up your own little "cottage" in my drive-way and would love to go take in a game with ya'all!! Plus, hey, a night in the Castro!!
