YAWN!!!

This is early! It is about 70 minutes until the first pitch and sleep is on the brain. Those pesky 10:35 a.m. starts will do that to you. My mind doesn't kick in until 3-ish on most days. I guess that its baseball is what makes this an allowbale act.

What's fun is the clatter of the kids making their way into the stadium for D.A.R.E. and Education Day. The great thing about kids at baseball games is they create a buzz, an excitement that no one else -- except for maybe Roger Clemens -- can bring to the park.

Anyway, the hope here is that it doesn't rain so the kids can enjoy some baseball.
