Four Days 'til Spring

Only five days until pitchers and catchers report to Oakland A's spring training. I'm so excited. I wish I were headed to Phoenix again this year but, alas, I am not. Last year one of my sisters and I met our folks down there and spent a few days following the A's around the Valley of the Sun. We all had a load of fun.

I think the A's will be good this year. I hope Crosby and Harden can stay healthy. It will be interesting to see how Frank Thomas and Milton Bradley fit into the team. And I'm so glad they gave Ellis a two-year contract. He is my favorite.
