Not ideal conditions, but we’re trying

No wireless here at Chain Of Lakes Park. There are three phone lines for roughly 12 New York reporters. So you won’t be getting deluged with posts.

Just had the worst chicken sandwich of my life. In other good news, I’m sitting right behind the plate and the net only goes partway up. So odds are high we could get a ball up here. Fortunately, I have cat-like reflexes.

I shouldn’t complain, I know. Bob Feller is playing catch with his grandson on the field. Gotta love spring training.

    I was in Quito Ecuador in 2001 and we stopped into this little restaurant for lunch. I figured, with chickens running around the town, how could I go wrong with a chicken sandwich? If your’s is anywhere near as bad as that one was…. boy howdy. Drink lots of water.
