Ready

I listened to a bit of Curt on EEI this morning and man, I am so ready for baseball. The D & C crew are down in Fort Myers and they must have been conducting business right near the training facility because you could hear the crack of bats. A beautiful sound. Schilling was upbeat, positive and confident-sounding about the upcoming season, Not just from the standpoint of his own physical health, but about the club at large. In his opinion, this is a better team than '04. Not better offensively, but better all-around. Our pitching staff is truly dominant, with (Curt's words, not mine) "3 potential number one guys" (meaning: Beckett, Pap, and Schilling), two of them with nice young arms. I love the veteran/rookie mix.

I cannot wait to hear Remy's voice for the first time. And Orsillo's first bad joke.
