LaPorta tearing up Rookie League with 1.000 OPS

Who doesn't love a misleading diary title?

I just figured it was worth mentioning that Matt LaPorta has played his first two Pioneer League games and hit a HR in his first on July 30.

Sample size be damned.  I think we have a star on our hands.  Hopefully, though, he will not keep up his 3 strikeouts every 7 at-bats pace.

no worries
just a head's up if your diary was met with not so much discussion.

Ode to spring.

I like the snow as much as anybody who likes snow. I even don't dread shoveling. Still, I find myself anxious for spring. 

Why?

I can't wait to play hookey from work or school and make it to a game at Miller Park. I want to have the money I save now go to a goal other than just tuition and bills. I want to sit behind home plate and watch Brauny hit a monstrous homer.

And that, my friends, is all I want for Christmas - spring.
