Yeah baby

I'll be happy if both these things happen this season:

Lind bounces back
Drabek solidifies his spot in the rotation going forward.

Hopping for a good game tomorrow but I have Pavano on my fantasy team so if we could get all our runs off their BP that would be great.

I'll miss the first 3 innings or so due to work... Maybe I should practice my "flu face".

Looking forward to this season. I don't think it'll be a great season but there are enough storylines revolving around young players to keep me intrigued... The most depressing news out of spring training, Cecil's loss of velocity. I know they're two completely different cases but I can't help but think of BJ and his "dead arm".

Another day, another dong~~~ Awesome song

Anyways, Jays gotta win tonight! JBau hopefully starts off strong, feeding off his awesome spring. Romero should be pretty solid.

Arencibia is his last name. Jp would be his first. Just FYI.
