M.I.A.
Sorry that I've been AWOL for the past week or so on this
blog.
The credit card that I have on file to pay for MLB.Tv as
well as MLBlogs was stolen last
week and I had to wait 7-10 days before I could
get a replacement card mailed to me
to put on file with MLB.Com.
So I have taken a brief hiatus from blogging here due to
that as well as extra work at work over the past week.
That and it's getting ready for school again as I am getting classes lined up for another semester.
At this rate I should be getting my long awaited masters degree sometime around May of 2005.
I think I'll celebrate that next spring with a trip to the house that Ruth built.
Anybody else want to come?
But anyways, I'm back in the saddle again now and ready to fire
up the blog.
There well be a few entries on what went down in the past
week and then it's off to
the races again !

Good Morning Mike. I do read your blog! I was never into posting on blogs. Most of the one's I saw were just dagger throwing, venting places,with people beating each other up. I have better things to do. When I found BPS a month or so ago I was drawn in right from the start. I bleed them, so name and all I have to say I was caught. The friendly banter that everyone engages in is what sets it, Heartland Pinstripes, and your blog apart from all of "those other" blogs.
Isn't having a cc stolen a bit*h. You dont realize what you have to go through until it happens to you. Good luck.
A month ago, I was not posting anywhere. Now I've got four blogs I'm posting on. I'm glad you enjoy my comments. Looking forward to the restart of your blog.

Hey,
I thought I'd post this here, as you mentioned it yesterday. Mike brought up a post of mine re Doug laying face down 15 feet from the Red Sox dugout. I mentioned the fact that no Sox trainer, player, or even medical assistant came out to check on him. I don't recall seeing any Sox player near him either. We also saw him carted off the field-sitting up, with no neck collar, and a bumpy ride on a golf cart. I mentioned maybe the Sox were mad at him cause he kept "the ball". Sure enough some idiot, coined by our CF now known in these parts as "Juan Damon", said it on the air. Payback he said. Anyone with a brain the size of an ant knows it was not on purpose, but the lack of human decency showed by the Sox, showed their lack of class.
My observations were confimed this week when TB catcher Dioner Navarro took a ball to the neck, took two steps and fell. Trainers from both teams, and medical staff attended to him, and he left the field on a stretcher. That's how it should be done. Kudos to them for being decent human beings and casting the "competition" aside.

Glad to see you back. Hopefully, your absence isn't related to the current Yankees winning streak.
And I never thought about that about the Sox training staff. interesting stuff.

Mike, it's good you're back, and I'm sorry to hear about your card issues. MLB can be a pain about such things.

thanks Jason and Jason, I just finished my first "new" blog in a week or so.
I did a recap of the Chi Sox series and I think I'll go and do a quick run down of the Pirates series and then address last night and then I'll be back in gear.
It's sort of like when Clemens returned to action --- he ended up having three minor league assignments before he got a start on the big club roster.
I am going to get a few tune ups out of the way and then I'll be in regulation action !
