Game 1 in Fort Myers, Where the Ribs Are Great, And The Weather Better.

Jonathon Papelbon takes the hill today in the first game of the 2006 Spring training schedule. The game is against their cross-town rival Minnesota Twins, in Ft. Myers. Nice.
Keith Foulke admitted yesterday that his right knee has been bothering him. As I wrote yesterday, the lubricant injected into the knee has a lasting effect once the body gets used to it. This generally takes a few days, and the relief might last for months. It worked for my friend, but she is no athelete. Let's hope that right knee responds wonderfully, and that it feels as good as his right arm.
And David Wells visited the mound yesterday, if only for a quick hello.

Let the games begin. And on TV today, on the Yes (No) network, is the Yankee game, and in the early morning hours, 2 WBC games. Slowly we inch into Spring. After all, meteorologist Spring started yesterday, March 1. And I'm ready.
