I enjoyed a few hours looking over the "numerish" and the "blurbs" and finally getting my head back into getting ready for our drafts. It's about time. After all, it's only
60 Days 'til this info will be put to use. I've got plenty of prep to go and I'd better get to it because in 60 days I'll have to decide.....
Hu's on first......
Wood's on second......
....and 3rd base? Dunn-o.
I know, I know. Terrible. Well whatta ya expect? I had 100 of these to come up with.
Occasionally you might get a clunker.
Of course these guys did it much better.
I loved Abbott and Costello as a kid, used to watch them on Sunday mornings. Great stuff. Here's a link to the original sketch if anyone would like to see it again.....

Winter can be long and brutal, although here outside of Chicago it's been the mildest winter I've ever remembered. None the less, it's still winter.
Baseball though looms on the horizon, it "marks the time".
But how much time?
Pitchers and Catchers report in just under two weeks, then the WBC and the Main Event, all leading up to Opening Day.
I went to the NFBC home page to see the Opening Day countdown clock to find out just how much longer we have to wait until "play ball" is said in earnest. Unfortunately, the clock is not set. Nothing but 0 - 0 - 0 - 0
Then I remembered this GREAT thread created by Glenn last year. Actually, I sort of miss-remembered it. I thought it was a countdown to Opening Day, when it really was a countdown to the Main Event.
So I thought, just for one day,
60 days from Opening Day , it would be a great opportunity to bring Glenn's thread back to life.
Everyone, do yourself a favor and go back to page 1 of these post and read all 14 pages. It might not take the chill out of the winter air, it might not make the Main Event or Opening Day come any faster, but it will give you a couple of minutes of enjoyment
