Man, I miss baseball. Tom, you're making me think I might have to try going to a game or two again to see if I can get the love back. Maybe spring training would be a good start.

Yes, Dan Q. was a great relief pitcher. The baseball Gods took him away too early. Guess they needed a closer they could depend on.
As far as the game of baseball goes, I was once its biggest fan. Free agency, arbitration, greed, agents and steroid use has turned my stomach. The game will never be what it was.
