Escaping the cold. Its that time. It was chilly today for crying out loud. The pitchers and catchers still have more than a week until they report to spring training.

I love this idea because it gives new comers like that young man there a chance to look around, get accustomed to things like the roof and the cat walk. He was traded from the rockies. He has never set foot inside. But there is pressure on him to perform not only defensively with the bat. He should be a 20plus home run guy that will help the rays lineup. But his numbers away from coors field in denver raise a little concern. So he is anxious to prove the rays made the right choice. I really like the field. Great group of guys so far. And its really playing in a dome than outside. But the ball traveled well. And hopefully i can put up the numbers and stay healthy and be out there and i think my numbers will speak for themselves at the end of the year.

After tuesdays loss in montreal, john cooper expressed a concern over a dip in performance defensively but the top two scoring lines also went scoreless on the trip. Cooper not ready to raise the red flag just yet. You know, time right now, we havent really needed his goals because its you know, other guys have been scoring. But when you struggle to score in 48 hour, it gets magnified a little bit. But he had how many shot attempts snob probably had eight or Something Like that. Attempts did he have tonight . Probably had eight or Something Like that. And in january, five negotiation five assist, he but the lightning goal scorers the last two night, brown, and victor headman, a defensive man. So thats not going to get it done. Forget those losses. Can we look ahead . Are they in danger of losing ground . I like the logic, forget the losses. Friday the lightning could be behind but it all evens out. All right. If they keep winning. Exactly. Thanks. Im chris bosh. When i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung, it was serious.
