    We may be getting up to 18 inches of snow where I live on Wednesday but spring for me starts the day pitchers and catchers report!

    From my experience, many of the Astros are very accessible during spring training. Sit outside the ballpark a few hours before the game and many of them will walk right past you and sign autos.

    Same can be said about the Tigers in Lakeland and Indians in Winter Haven. A lot of the Tigers end up at Hooters right there in Lakeland. There's also a 7-11 not far from the ballpark where you can run into Jim Leyland in the morning. The Indians players tend to end up at Cypress Gardens on off days...
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12
