:FINALLY! Players are in camp, baseball video games are a week or so away, and Little League practice starts soon.

:Sorry, but Ryan Braun cheated. If the chain of custody failed, it should be addressed. But I’m doubting elevated testosterone jumped out of that courier’s leftovers and into his urine. I’ve always liked Braun (although he does strike me as a little “Jersey Shore like”), but I believe he cheated. I’m guessing he’s getting drilled by inside pitches quite a bit this year.

:Ryan Zimmerman will be a National for life. If the Nats don’t contend over the next couple of years, their fan base should be upset…….if they have a fan base.

:Dear Cubs fans : calm down. Its still gonna take a couple of years, Theo can’t pitch or hit fourth.

:Jason Varitek retires : If all he had done was punch ARod in the face, it’d be enough to retire #33

To : The Padres/Pirates/Mariners/Astros

Look, you guys pay your managers what, a million or more a year? And where has it gotten you. I’m here to offer you my managerial services for the paltry sum of $150,000 a year plus a nice place to live for the season within walking distance of the ballpark. That’s right, I will Jim Leyland it up and WALK to the park , despite what might have happened in the night before’s game. Here’s what I have to bring to the table :

: Extensive Little League coaching experience, including a win less season. (Thanks Pirates!)

:With the money you save on my salary, maybe you can actually afford a good free agent or two.

:Guaranteed national news coverage, it’ll be like that flick where the kid winds up owning/managing the Twins!

:Guaranteed sell out for the first home series and interleague series. The fans will come out prepared to look on in awe and/or horror.

One season! A half season at least! I mean come on, you can’t do worse then you all did last season!

I’ll be awaiting your offers…
