Baseball is Close

Oh so very very close. I went to a Braves practice on Wednesday at the Disney Wide World of Sports complex, where I went on to get Tim Hudson's(who is definitely not 6-1 as it says in the media guide, more like 5-9) and Marcus Giles(who looks a lot bulkier in person) autograph. Tim Hudson is the second best autograph I have next to Bob Feller. It was nice to see batting practice and fielding practice with big league ball players. I am ready for the season, and I'm hoping the Cubs are to. Yet, it doesn't seem that way. What seems to be the main focus this spring is not baseball, and getting back to the playoffs, but instead it is focused on Sammy Sosa. Open note to the Cubs:forget about him! He is not worth your troubles, he will do OK in Baltimore, so just forget about him. He is a grown man who doesn't need you to give him a second thought. Don't get me wrong, Sammy will continue to talk about you in Baltimore, so just forget he exists. I am sick of hearing about Sosa and his boombox, Sosa and steroids, and Sosa and leaving the last game of the season early. Instead of Sosa should be focusing on the season ahead of them. The Cubs have a shot at the World Series title this year, they just need to start acting like it.
