Happy Holidays, everybody

Since I probably won't be around much the next few days (not that I'm around a ton lately as it is, I know), I wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Be safe and happy, whatever you're doing this holiday season.

My favorite Christmas tune, Dean Martin's delightfully sloshed rendition of "Silver Bells":

hah!

Kristen’s mom totally got me that for Christmas last year.

"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again."

I would imagine

it’s on shop.mlb.com somewhere.

OK, it’s on the page I linked to. So there.

And Happy Hannukah to all those who celebrate it.

I asked Santa for a World Series, and 9-153 seasons for the Red Sox and Yankees.

So...

How does this pertain to Tex? I must be missing something.

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

just go over to OH

everything there pertains to Tex and how the sky is falling if he doesn’t sign in Baltimore.

I had read on OH

the ground will split and swallow the city if he doesn’t sign. But then again, I’m a PREMIUM member of OH…
