Spring Training
It's just about that time of year when Spring Training is in full force. I am excited because its the first sign of the new season. Hopefully I will get a chance to make it out to a game or two.

Posada Retires!!
After an illustrious 17 years in baseball, New York Yankees catcher Jorge Posada calls it quits.
It's kinda sad to see another one of my favorite players to call it quits, but it had to happen soon or later. He was a great catcher and I think future HoF.

HoF class of 2012
I would like to Congratulate the Hall of Fame class of 2012. It's a small class this year which makes me mad that they didn't pick Morris or Trammel, but what can you do we are at the mercy of the stupid writers association.

Slow News
As of lately I have been hearing about a bunch of teams making moves, it just burns me to see that all the Dbacks seem to be doing is resigning players or signing C+ players. Hey I may be wrong but this is all in my opinion.
On another note I would like to ask why isn't Randy Johnson and Curt Schillings numbers retired at the stadium? They lead the team to a World Series along with Gonzo, and on top of that they will both be first round HoF's . Sadly I don't think Gonzo has the numbers to make it, it's not like the team have had a bunch of players that have made as much of an impact on the team like these two. The 01 team is what put the Dback's on the map and we need to acknowledge more than just Luis Gonzalez.
