Countdown to Christmas - 97 Days

Short post tonight, with just 97 days to go until Christmas. This pirate was out on the water in a new kayak today in search of treasure. Didn't stumble upon any wenches, though. Guess that will have to wait until Gasparilla in Tampa next February!!

On with the countdown!

Joe Beimel wears number 97 for the Colorado Rockies. Beimel is a relief pitcher who made made his major league debut with the Pirates in 2001 and has also played for the Twins, Rays, Dodgers, and the Nats. He wears number 97 for the year his first child's birth. In 2007 Beimel set a Dodgers record by appearing in 83 games (3rd in the NL that year).

Sorry gang, but after taking 9 months off from the blogging thing, it's tough to get started again. Maybe I'll take a couple months off until we get to the 40s, then it's easier to find good players! Not a slam against Beimel, but.....

I could always bore you with my latest running exploits and what keeps me motivated, but I'll just save that for random facebook posts!
