It seems strange to be posting this on this snowy upstate New York morning! The ThunderStix will be roaring tonight as The Rangers visit Anaheim to kick off another baseball season.

When we met in 1938, it was November. When I said that I would be his mate, it was December. I reasoned he would be the greatest husband that a girl had ever found. That's what I reasoned, that's what I reasoned, then April rolled along!

six months out of every year, I might as well be made of stone, six months out of every year when I'm with him, I'm alone!

the other six months out of every year, we are hardly ever seen apart, but then the Washington Senators take over my place in his heart!

six months out of every year he lives by the television set, if you've seen that man of mine how does he look? I forget!

Cool! The Devil Rays open tomorrow against the Yanks. I am not a D Rays fan but they have my man Pinella now so I have to rout for them a little

I thought I had hear that opening day was being temporarily delayed due to the war.

Was I just hearing things???? I hope, I hope

Thanks Bernie! I had never heard the full version of Take Me Out to the Ballgame, that was cute!

In about 13 hours, we kick off the Cubs (away) opener with a 1 hour pre-game show!!

I've been waiting for baseball ALL Winter, imagine that!

 

[amid chaos]

I love this time of year.

 

[shep]

...and this one belongs to the Reds

This will be the first year of Great American Ballpark...
And the last year of baseball's current longest duo of announcers...Joe Knuxhall & Marty Brennamen..

 

[snels]

Centerfield
by John Fogerty

Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!
We're born again, there's new grass on the field.
A-roundin' third, and headed for home, it's a brown-eyed handsome man;
Anyone can understand the way I feel.

Oh, put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be Centerfield.

Well, I spent some time in the Mudville Nine, watchin' it from the bench;
You know I took some lumps when the Mighty Casey struck out.
So Say Hey Willie, tell Ty Cobb and Joe DiMaggio;
Don't say "it ain't so", you know the time is now.

Oh, put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be Centerfield.

Yeah! I got it, I got it!

Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes;
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride.
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all - a moment in the sun;
(pop) It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye!

Oh, put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be Centerfield.

Oh, put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be Centerfield.

Yeah!



GO SOX!!!!!!!
