Not this time, Duke.  I may make it in later in the season for a series though.  I'll let you know. 

With Cotcher out of pocket, I need to get with Aaron and see what he has planned for baseball press coverage so we can coordinate a bit.

It's baseball time in Texas. Hallelujah,hallelujah,hallelujah.

There's a song in there somewhere....perhaps it's written in the Baseball Hymnal. 

And that's the spirit, John.

That reminds me of one of the strangest pieces of sports trivia ever. The man who wrote "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" never once saw a baseball game in person.

So it was a song about longing for something.
