The Final Score

So sorry I've left you guys for a few days -- I've been spending my days on the On the Mets Beat blog as I cover for Dave Lennon. Just wanted to stop by and say not to worry. My time here in Florida is almost up, and I'm leaving with a list of Web column ideas, where-are-they-nows and blog entries to tackle when I get home. You'll see.

Also, I'm here in overcast Fort Lauderdale today for the Mets game against the Orioles. Pretty cool that this is the same complex where the Yankees trained before moving to Tampa in 1996. I can just see George Steinbrenner walking around this stadium, waving his arms, calling reporters, firing managers, berating staff, etc.

The one weird thing about this stadium: there is an airport next door, and I feel the press box here on the roof shake whenever a plane comes and goes. Not a good feeling.

I'll be home Wednesday. You'll start seeing regular entries then.
