Baseball Season is Here
The freshly cut grass, the warm spring sun, the sound of the bats as they hit baseballs into the sky can only mean one thing.
Spring Training.
All major league baseball training camps are in full swing. Here are four stories to watch in the coming weeks.
1) New Manager Joe Girardi is in his first season with the Yankees after replacing long time manager Joe Torre. Only time will tell if this change will help the Yankees playoff hopes.
2) Still in the Big Apple, the Mets acquired in the off-season all-star pitcher Johan Santana from the Twins. Will this move place the Mets among the elite teams in the National League? It should definitely help.
3) Will the Toronto Blue Jays finally make the playoffs? They are certainly trying. With the additions of A.J. Burnett and B.J. Ryan last season most fans in Toronto were hoping for the best but after another disappointing season the Jays are set to try again in 2008.
4) The Colorado Rockies exploded onto the baseball scene last year, going all the way to the World Series. All eyes will be on Colorado this year. This team is young and looking to repeat as National League Champions.
Opening day is at the end of the month. Glad to have baseball back.
