Summary: FLASH!  Baseball exists outside of NY!!  Film at 11.

I don't know about the rest of you, but i read net.sport.baseball for something
besides a lot of Mets trivia.  There's a lot of other teams in baseball, if
i'm not mistaken.  in fact, we have one right here where i live.  they're
called the padres.  up the road we have the much hated boys in blue, who
regularly win the NL West by default.  How about the rest of you, aren't
there baseball teams in Chicago?  Atlanta?  Minneapolis?

just so i haven't completely wasted your time; the Padres made very few
trades this winter (they just signed Dane Iorg [last year's WS hero] as
a pinch hitter; hopefully he'll do better than Al Bumbry, who was here long
enough to hit 178 and grab a cup of coffee), and what with the strengthening
of the Reds pitching staff, I am looking forward to a long season.

goin' to Yuma at the end of march for spring training.  get in a little
comet watching, too.  bring on the boys of summer!!!
