spring training!

it's been far too long, old friends. welcome back. to fort meyers, florida, spring training home of the world champion boston red sox. no, you aren't dreaming, we really are the world champions. here's the hot stove recap:

-me-ow, the tigers aren't fucking around. with the addition of dontrelle willis and miguel cabrera, they're looking awfully fierce. what's new, pussycat, indeed.

-johan santana caused a helluva hot stove debate this december. and january. but he's found a home in NY, and on the right side of the tracks, if ya catch my drift. would have been nice to see him at home in the fens, but it's not like we need another dominating pitcher if we want the other teams to at least have some hope (yeah, i went there. never too early for a little trash talk. bring it, suckas.)

-apparently, roger clemens may have done steroids. i'm waiting for the official UN statement. seems that this is clearly a matter of national security. hey congress...no shit!

-curt schilling is fat and his body is breaking down. again, i say...no shit!

-no other really awesome trades...kind of a low-key hot stove. ah well...at least spring training is up and running.

-best headline so far "Braves' Cox admired throughout the game" (go ahead, say it out loud. i won't tell.)

-best deadspin comment so far: "David Wells and four sticks of licorice are the fattest rotation ever."

bring it on. i'm so ready for baseball. lookout japan, here come the world champion boston red sox!
