Regardless of your political affiliation, get out and vote today if you are in one of the states holding their primary. If you want to come here and scream bloody murder about politics or opinions on politics at least bring the credibility of having voted with you.

So every all star game each player is given one of their home jerseys to autograph for a charity auction for the MLBPA.
Each year you autograph that jersey and afterwards they collect them and auction them off.
The year in question, Sean gets his jersey, and somehow he is out a jersey or two and ends [...]

I heard yesterday that we signed Sean Casey. To have someone of his talent come here as a potential platoon player and role filler is huge.
I’ve known Sean and competed against him for a long time. I think he’s gotten the best of me more than I on him.
I have never had him as a [...]

If you have, and you remember the beautiful young woman who visited us from Dana Farber, you’ll remember I posted a picture of her and I.

If you are a McCain fan the last few days had to be good ones. Learning from missteps in the past I think the Senator just went to S.C., spoke to the people, they heard him and I think got what I got, and he won.
As I stated earlier, please, if you do care about [...]

I received this email from a friend and given the fact that I am now 41, it resonated with me. Thought I’d share it and hopefully someone out there putting this off might think twice.
My name is Adam. I’ve been diagnosed with PROSTATE CANCER at the age of 45.
Let me give you some background. [...]

Outside of the Lord, my wife and my father there was no person who impacted my life more than Johnny Podres. A true mans man if there ever was one. As I enter the final year of my major league career and baseball life I can only hope that when it’s all over the body [...]

I am stepping out on the limb, but I don’t think I’m stepping out too far. Just back from CES and I’ll try and do a wrap up at some point, but I wanted to throw some kudos to the guys at Flying Labs.
