IT WAS A BIT COLD FOR OUR 1ST DAY OF BASEBALL PRACTICE

I have to say it was a bit cold yesterday for our 1st day of baseball practice and it was a bit breezy as well. Once I got swinging fungo thought I wasn't near as cold, I didn't have to throw at all yesterday but I will throw today. My PAIN index isn't to bad this morning but I got a feeling by about noon it is really going to start hurting from hitting as many fungos as I did yesterday. Today the temp is going to be a few degrees warmer than yesterday but the wind is suppose to die down a bit. Also fellow blogger Keith din't make it to the 1st day of baseball practice at Thomas Dale, Keith and Andrew both are under the weather with the flu. The Virginia Cavalier baseball team will try to improve to 5-0 today when William & Mary visits Charlottesville, I am sure it will be cold there. Also today the Richmond Renegades have called a news conference this morning at the coliseum to discuss the future of team. MICKEY
