Two Weeks!

If you are in the Northeast, chances are you woke up to some snow this morning.  And, the forecast sounds like we could get some real snow this weekend.

But, as the countdown clock to the left of this post shows us, it's only two weeks to pitchers and catchers!  

And we are exactly one month away from the first spring training game.

Finally, we are 61 days away from Opening Day (or night in the case of the Yankees and Red Sox)  

Hope that warms you up a bit.

Cross Him Off The List?

Reports coming out of Minnesota say that Joe Mauer has reached an agreement in principal with the Twins on a ten-year contract extension. 

I felt all along that Mauer wouldn't leave Minnesota.  He is from there and with the new ballpark, the Twins have to show the fans they are willing to invest.  Obviously, he would have set off a huge bidding was between the Yankees and Red Sox if he had reached free agency, but it appears that won't happen now.
