You can feel the engine start to move...


After a long break, I'm finally back to posting. A lot of things have occupied my time lately, specifically an engagement and wedding planning, but it's getting to be that time of year again.

I've taken the pleasure of just sitting back and watching what has been happening in baseball like I'm sure you all have. It has been an interesting off season to say the least. 

I'm glad to see the depth in pitching that Theo and the team have added, and truthfully, I'm glad we lost out on Tex. I'm not saying the guy doesn't have a great bat, but there are so many things to look at when it comes to what he could have done for the team. He would have been a great hitter for us and I'm sure would have put up great numbers, but isn't it more enjoyable to look forward to A-Rod crying over someone else stealing his thunder and putting up better number than him? That whole squad is a ticking timebomb. Throw in ole crappy Girardi and you've got another great season of New York drama and solid rivalry.

It will be interesting to see what happens with Tek. Hopefully he will come back and this season will be a big change from last year. It would be nice to have him around coaching the younger catchers in the art he excels. But we will see. 

Spring Training is a few weeks away, and then we have the World Baseball Classic. It's looking up. The weather may be cold, but at least there's baseball soon.
