BASEBALL!!!!
Okay all you new SCO readers, baseball season is right around the corner and if I don't get www.rickbrady.net up and running soon, I will take over this blog with posts about the Texas Rangers.
My cousin, Rod Barajas, is their catcher. Here's a great little story announcing that Rod will get the starting honors April 5 against the Angels. Rod walked-on to the Arizona Diamondbacks and played his first pro season in 1999. He had a so-so career until last year when his bat got hot and he earned the respect of the Texas pitching staff. Rod's hitting .385 in pre-season, so let's hope he can carry some of that flare into April!
Oh. I have another cousin that plays with the Giants - Noah Lowry. But, I don't recall ever meeting him. I'm told that I have, when I was younger, but I'm an old guy (28) and that was a long time ago. Besides, I don't really like the Giants. :-)

I'd like to get excited, but as baseball games now last sixteen hours or so I don't plan to watch any.

Is Texas a major league team? I can never remember.

I'm counting the days until opening day....

I'm counting the days until the third division title in a row and a hopefully longer post-season. (If I can't goad Rick into reacting perhaps I can get Tom to do so.) Go TWINS!

Okay, Mark. How about this: Rangers will win 95+ games this year if Rod stays healthy and is not traded (unless of course he is traded for Mike Witt - then 95+ games is a shoe-in). The Twins will win 90+ wins if they get Kirby Puckett back in the lineup.
When is the first Rangers-Twins match? Perhaps we could live-blog the play-by-play!

The Twins, who may have the best pitching rotation in baseball, will win 90+ games, no doubt about it. I suspect the Rangers will not. I will be happy to live blog the first game with you. I'll understand if you want to drop out after the 7th inning or so.
