Cancer

D-Backs pitcher Doug Davis has thyroid cancer. He will pitch against the Reds in April and will have his surgery a week later. Sorry this has'nt been much of a daily blog but I was on vacation and stuff, but I will try to find a time to make this blog an actual daily baseball blog. The season starts in 1 day 10 hours, 39 minutes and 28 seconds!! I can't wait that long!!

Bored

There's not really that much news in the world of baseball right now. Except that I'm going to Florida in 5 days to see spring training... Comment on under this post or email me if you can see this: http://mlb.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?video=200803152430155

Laroche

Andy Laroche, Dodgers rookie infielder is out for 8-10 weeks of the regular season. He has a torn ligament in his thumb and he will undergo surgery in LA.

Phillies!

Ya! Baseball is on tv! The Phillies played the Piarates and lost 11 to 6 but Ryan Howard hit one over both fences at Jack Russel Stadium. Only 25 more days until Opening Day!
