Finally. A light at the end of the tunnel. It might be a locomotive, but it’s still a light.

First business- temperature check. How cold are ya? 27 here.

February. Super Bowl next Sunday. Then pitchers and catchers between 10-13 February. Then Daytona 500.

That puts us to ST games. 17 February.

Seems like a bit since final out of WS. And a long cold winter.

In the winter time. When the leaves are brown. And the wind blows.

February!
don't forget the NBA all-star game!

Check. I did give this some thought. Baseball has a prime window of dominance from 1 June till 1 September. NBA and NHl finals will end.

Baseball could really help themselves with a saturation of baseball in that time. 90 days.

Only competition would be golf and nascar.

I can't wait until Spring Training starts, especially this year. The Blues friggin' suck, I lost interest in college basketball around the Quinn Snyder era, and I really don't care who wins the Super Bowl. Give me the pop of a fastball on a catchers mitt and the crack of the bat, and all will be well with my soul.

4 degrees here in the St. Louis area. My neighbor went on vacation to Florida this past week. Talk about bad timing.

It will be a long boring summer of baseball.
Red, you’re not excited to WATCH this Rebuild?? Whatever that means….
I think The Mo induced PTSD CT crowd have forgotten what a MLB Season is supposed to be.
Put the best team on the field, go compete and WIN
Having a loser Manager who was extended so he has NO PRESSURE TO WIN
Sitting on 80mil while the ML club requires talent to compete
And then acting like nothing can be done about the first 2 above because they have to draft and WAIT on prospects who might not even make it……
I believe they will spend in time. The current state of the team provides nothing for a trade. Nothing to make that difference.

The FA market is expensive. That and the lockout probably coincide with an opportunity to scale back and reevaluate things.
They forget that some of us don't have time. Heck BDW might not have time...

Just think. This cold went down to the spring training sites in Florida. One week later, a cold report.

February!
Ridin' the storm out, waitin' for the thaw out
On a full moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter.
My wine bottle's low, watching for the snow
Thinkin' about what I've been missin' in the city.
And I'm not missin' a thing
Watchin' the full moon crossing the range
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out.


13 degrees here. I hate winter. Fortunately, the days waiting for baseball are growing shorter. I need me some baseball right now! Per the comment on the Super Bowl, I won't be watching. Blues? WTF??? They find ways to lose and lose both early and late in games. I no longer follow college hoops. Kentucky??? I do follow HS sports, so there is that.

Exactly the intent. Let it out. Eight days, then real baseball news. No more conjecture.

That 13 degrees gets old, don’t it. I can’t no longer handle the cold. Rattles me.

Heres a neat idea. If you follow HS sports, Sikeston is like 18-2, number two, I believe class 5. Give ya something to root about.

The HS where I retired from is 18-5. The girls are 15-9. I coached in both programs at some point in my teaching career. They won't get to state, but they are fun to watch.

Cool. Commend you for your teaching efforts. You can rest assured you made many differences.

Yea Sikeston has to get thru district, then they usually lose in semis at state. Not bad losses. Few points.

Dogs are class 5

There are several class 2 or 3 on the schedule…….just saying the record is better than the team..

Not their fault…not many class 5 in the heel…, and they have to play someone

Ooooh ok. That is true. Very few class five. Correct. That’s why they play the STL tournaments. Just won the Union tourney, beating ST Francis Borgia.
