Because of the television schedule and the fact that I am actually working (okay- to you it may look like I'm going to the movies and scouring Netflix, but I *swear* it's work) on the new screenplay, haven't had the opportunity to see much of the grapefruit league games of late. I will be tuned in to the Yanks v. sox game this evening, so there's that. Girardi and Yanks are playing it like the meaningless game that it actually is; Bobby Valentine on the other hand is ... nuts. Should make things fun though.

Ozzie Guillen got tossed in an exhibition game yesterday that happened to be against Boston. Apparently there was Bobby V waving to the hot-blooded Miami manager as he left the field. Ozzie didn't notice him, but later said had he would have cursed at him in his native tongue. Gotta like that Ozzie...

Speaking of managers who need to do less, there's Bruce Bochy out in San Francisco. I think the Giants win despite him. Between informing the world that Posey won't be blocking the plate this season, he tossed an Angels' scout from a practice session last week. No one really knew why and obviously the Giants' scouts don't want retribution so Bochy had to apologize for his error. Just so bush.

David Robertson is out of the walking boot and back into the Yankee plans for the bullpen on opening day. I suppose the real big thing during spring training is not get injured. Well, that and don't get suspended for violating PED rules. But if you had Manny in your "Which A's OF will get nailed for drugs" you would lose to whomever had Jason Pridie in their bracket (see: I pay attention that it's March Madness): http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-athletics-pridiesuspension
And even if Johan Santana is healthy enough to start the season for the Mets, they may need him to be a lefty specialist out of the 'pen (Byrdak needs surgery) and maybe play third-base (Wright needs a new back). But I guess at least there still sort of with the team and not stuck in the DR like the player formerly known as Fausto Carmona. Charges were dropped against him for using a false identity, but he still lacks a visa and the Tribe have no good idea as to when he can get back to the States and start spring training.

In writing news: looks like the friend who was supposed to give me her "Rose" edits over lunch today is flaking. I have it out to two other friends and will just sit on my hands... Grrr...

But "Crawlspace Charlie" is going out to a few other rather well-placed production companies. Can you say "bidding war?" Not much would please me more these days... Well, that and the 70 degree temps we're getting here; who needs Florida for spring (training)?

Cheers,
