It's Opening Day!! :-)

Day #128

Thought of the Day:

People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball.  I'll tell you what I do.  I stare out the window and wait for spring.
- Rogers Hornsby

Bad Joke of the Day:

What takes longer, running from first base to second, or from second to third?
Second to third, because you have to go through a shortstop.
