It’s 8:10 pm, and I’m sitting in Room 137 of a Best Western in Clearwater, Florida.
Today was my first spring training day. Working on a whole slew of stuff. In no particular order, I:
Spoke at length with Ryne Sandberg. Sat down with Russ Adams and David Wright. Followed around Jay Horwitz. Shook Bobby Bonilla’s hand and was 50% blown off by Jason Isringi’veneverfullyfiguredouthowtospellhislastnamehausen. Got in the car around 2, drove, ugh, five hours to Clearwater. Burned a CD for the car. Here are the tracks (feel free to mock at will):
2. Open Letter to a Landlord—Living Color
4. Peace Sign/Index Down—Gym Class Heroes
5. Mercy—Duffy
11. Bittersweet Symphony—The Verve
13. Jar of Hearts—Christina Perri
