Wednesday Bird Droppings

I miss baseball

Say 'Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!'
Say 'Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!'

Hot stove? More like cold stove, amiright!? But fret not, denizens of Birdland. Take solace in this theory of mine: Dan Duquette and Scott Boras are two sides of the same coin.

Remember that last year's trade with Colorado didn't happen until February. I'm convinced HBGM has something simmering on the back burner. And we'll all get a pleasant Valentine's surprise. But, until then, we must make do with the meager morsels that we uncovered in the Winter soil. The links! They beckon. Heed their clarion call!
