"Today the Times reported the arrival of the first pitchers and catchers at the spring training camps, and the morning was abruptly brightened, as if by the delivery of a seed catalogue."
You know baseball is just plain fun...

Well it has been a while since the ol' Roxs had any expectations. Is this going to be a good thing? Will they hit the ground running or will they start slow and have the doubters start. Ughhh to have a target on your back and teams suddenly gunning for the NL Champions. Heck of a ring to it. To be truthful I haven't been too happy with Hurdle and O'Dowd. They have certainly tried our patience with these last 3 years. But I have to eat some crow and say they have put a pretty good product together. These guys have won together through the minors, they are a "team", not just a collection of free agents trying to win this year. The team has the feel of O'Dowds Indians a few years back. Definitely a potential to run the table the next 2 - 3 years before the dollars come calling. It would be nice to have a hard time getting tickets once in a while. So anyway let's see how it rolls, if Nix and the starting pitchers can get it done then it will be truly magical year and maybe we can get another shot at the mean ol' Sox. Hey maybe Hurdle can win home field this year for the NL and we can get it done!
