Spring Training - Week 1

... A little early last week, a little late this one: hey, sue me… Nice to get a week of Spring Training under our belts, and had a great time down at Tucson last Friday. You can find a full report of that trip here, but let’s just say that the sunburn has just about healed now… The Diamondbacks season has started brightly enough, winning six of the ten games played since the season started [a couple of days saw split-squad games].

A little later, the other half of the roster also beat the White Sox, rallying from a 5-0 deficit down in Hermosillo, Mexico, before a crowd of 12,855. Since we were at the first game, that's where we'll concentrate our efforts. ;-) I was picked up by shoe, tap and tmar just after 9 am, though not before being getting a call to my cel-phone from a ...
