It has finally sunk in that there is no more baseball. When the last out was recorded and when the Cardinals received the World Series trophy I know that was the end. The 2006 baseball season has ended. What is there now? What can I look forward to? What will 2007 bring?
At the end of the regular season there was a release of Felipe Alou. He?s the only manager I?ve known. The newly hired manager I only know as the opposing manager. He will bring something new to the team. I will have to ask my contact once Spring Training rolls around. That would be Mark Sweeny. =)
Now it?s time for me to learn about other things that are going to happen in the post season. Such as the many free agents we have and who we are going to re-sign. There?s also the hope that Mike Matheney will be recovered and join the team in the final year of his contract; where he can be at his second home behind home plate catching the ball from his friend Matt Morris.
I just hope that some of the kids can come up and get a chance to prove their worth. It?s as if their dream to make it to the show won?t ever happen. If it does it?s only for one month during the September call ups. I just hope they have some talent that will allow them to come up and show it. I know we signed them to minor league contracts, but being
With the number of free agents this off season will be the time where I will be watching to find out if we re-sign Barry Bonds and which of the six position players we will be able to cross off our list as complete. The budget we have to work with can?t be a huge amount.
This off season I plan to learn a lot more about how the stuff outside the game works with the game itself. I hope that makes some sense.
