“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.” – Rogers Hornsby
Ahhh..finally about that time. What a slow, boring offseason (for me, anyway.. Tony got BEN BROUSSARD). But now, this nightmare is over. Pitchers and catchers report tomorrow. But..if HYPOTHETICALLY the Indians or Rangers don’t do so well this year, the regular season will be even more nightmarish than this offseason has been. That’s just hypothetical, though.. everybody knows that they will award the first joint championship to the Indians and Rangers this year. If so, Tony and I are partying at Beer-Pool-Darts on Broadway and everyone is invited (followed by a meal..you know, someplace special…Denny’s).
But really, I’m nervous about this season. I know they say pitching wins championships, but they also say that Miguel Cabrera once hit a homerun before the ball was even pitched. A story like that HAS to be true. Meanwhile, the White Sox are better, but still nothing special. Oh yeah, I hate the White Sox, but since they kinda suck now, I’m over it….mostly. The Royals are better but..I mean, they are still the Royals. The Twins got rid of the best player they’ve had since Kent Hrbek, but they still have Michael Cuddyer so..
I’ll let Tony go through the AL West if he so chooses.. but we all know it’s a moot point. Ben Broussard = automatic win. What? You don’t think so? Well throw some Chris Shelton on top of that and see how you like it. Still not convinced? Sprinkle some Kevin Mench around the sides and you’ve got undeniable proof.
Also, since I know that C.C. Sabathia reads this blog regularly…this is my plea to him: Cmoooon man. Take the deal. Do this one for a dying kid (technically, we all die someday so as soon as you are born, you technically start dying, right?) Don’t make me beg C.C… if I have to produce tears, I will.
That’s the end of my rambling for now..but you know I got more rambling flowing through my veins, waiting to be unleashed.
