according to my sources on the scene, joba looks sucky, edwar Ramirez looks great and no sign of Andy pettite yet. my mom and sister are down in Florida for a few days taking a vacation while Amanda is on spring break from school. their first stop is the Yankees spring training complex. its just pitchers and catchers so far but they are all out throwing some balls and just hanging around. spring training for baseball is cool and i would certainly recommend it for anyone who likes the game before they die. theres nothing exciting going on but its a lot of fun and its hard not ot get giddy trying to sneak a peak at someone like jeter or a-rod. i'd compare it to a minor league game as all the stadiums are used for minor league teams later in the year. its easy to get front row tickets for like 10$, and you're sitting at the end of the dugout. i caught one game a few years ago when randy Johnson was pitching, we had seat right next to the dugout and when he walked in i couldn't believe how big he really is. TV doesn't do him justice. thats also how i got to meet peter gammons, he was just hanging out around the dug out.
as soon as i posted this, i got an other hysterical call from my mom,they got Joba's autograph! see, even 50 something women get excited for autographs from a 24 year old guy.
