And of course, when do I decide to start writing stuff again? Apparently, the Yankees were last year. The only player that really might hurt was Austin Jackson, a 22 year old outfielder who looks promising as a solid average hitter.

A toast to Garrett Atkins. With the other more well known players on the Rockies such as Matt Holliday, Atkins was often overshadowed, but this only made me a bigger fan. In 2007, I went to spring training for the first time with my mom. Spring training that year changed everything. He also hit the first inside the par.

Man, this is baseball. With a solid performance from Andy Pettitte in game 4 the Yankees are in superb position for a 27th World Champoionship. Both offenses were good last night, each having their ups and downs but the Yankees had more ups than the Phils and took a 3-1 lead in the series.

I recently upgraded my She-Fan Cam from the Flip Mino to the Ultra, so Michael is its first victim. He was about to head outside to put some burgers on the grill for dinner, but I snagged him before he got away. Dinner was delicious, btw.
