So I’m driving down US 1, not too far from Port St. Lucie, and I see this sign outside a tattoo parlor: “Chuck Norris is so tough he sneezes with his eyes open.”
Sometimes you don’t even have to look at the license plates to know that you are in Florida.
In the effort to make this a fan friendly blog, I will post some of your email comments to me when noteworthy. J. Willis writes the following:
If the Yankees can play on cue as well as they did with the pool cues, what a season it will be at the new Yankee Stadium. Otherwise, they will be behind the proverbial eight-ball, and it will take more than body English to avoid being scratched from the post season.
I kind of like that, but I must add that A-Rod could sink the team.
Couple points on what to expect during spring training eating tradition at Tradition Field. Home opener kicked off today and the crowd was festive. A 24 oz. beer is six bucks at the Tiki Bar. Popcorn is $3; a jumbo hot dog is $3.75. Chicken fingers with fries goes for $7.
Interesting to note that a K-Rod t-shirt is going for $28 while a Santana or Wright t-shirt is only $24. What a bargain.
Mets are rolling along to a lopsided win over Marlins. That opposite field hitting drill is already paying off as the Mets are focusing on hitting the ball the other way during games as well as practice. Walked around the back fields this morning watching that drill take place. It makes a lot of sense and focuses the Mets on what they should be doing.
Said it before and will say it again: Only thing Mets have to fear is themselves. They just love to make life difficult during the season.
Playing baseball is all they should worry about and this is a start. That’s my cue to get out of here for now.
