New day, new computer
Posted on February 23rd, 2008 – 8:34 AMBy Joe Christensen
My computer crashed Thursday night, and a story I’d been working on for Sunday went with it.
I called our IT support desk at 9:14 (Eastern). By 10, our newsroom’s computer guru, Dan Barnes, had put my mind at ease. He got a replacement laptop ready and put it on the first flight to Fort Myers yesterday.
I picked it up at the Northwest baggage claim at noon and finished the story in time for our early Sunday editions, which hit the newstand today.
Anyway, just writing this to explain the blogging hiatus. La Velle had us covered on news, and today, Souhan is in the house. This is the first full-squad workout. In a few minutes, we’ll be watching the new infield perform the team’s Good Morning America drill. Can’t wait to watch.

JoeC,
Great story!
I can’t understand the lack of comments.
Hey Joe and LENIII, I love you guys but the guy over at the Pioneer Press is doing a much more active job of blogging than you 2. Come on, feed our craving for spring training impressions. So many new players that I want to hear about.
and get pictures updated also!!!!!!!
Hey Joe
I just asked Lavelle this question but have you read into the Tampa Bay newspapers at all? They are making it seem like Delmon is dumb and arrogant and Crawford is the wise veteran leader who stays out. Excuse me? Crawford saying Delmon is popping at the mouth? Huh? What are they smoking in Tampa? I dont understand how people could misconstrue comments so badly! If Delmon would have said any less he would be portrayed as ignorant. Sounds to me like a city upset with their situation, where the best baseball news comes from players mouths and not their play.
