Sir Sidney and Cytana

Posted on February 17th, 2007 – 12:41 PM

A quick update: Sidney Ponson and Johan Santana just unpacked their bags at camp. There’s been a lot of speculation about what shape Ponson is in (some rumors had him tipping the scale at 280 last year). Ponson doesn’t look that heavy. But I’m not saying he’s Santana either. There will be more on Sidney as camp continues.

Sidney seems eager to have a conversation with my colleague Joe Christensen, who covered Ponson in Baltimore. Wonder what that’s all about….. 

 

Santana, with three of his buddies in tow, had a big smile on his face as he talked with teammates. Spring training always is such a relaxed time.

On another note, if you’re looking for me to rub the weather in your faces, it ain’t happening - yet. It rained on Thursday. It was 45 degrees this morning. It’s one thing to be cold when you expect it (Minnesota), but when you expect it to be warm and it’s not, that’s aggravating. In past spring trainings the only day I’ve worn pants is when I fly down here. I’ve worn jeans for two straight days now, and I’m outraged……

Welcome to the blog world! I have you in my favorites already and hope to hear some good Twins rumors and insiders from you!

So Ponson really looks like he is in good shape?

Welcome to the blogosphere. Should be interesting. I see you even have a few comments already. Nice.

Let’s hope that the “more on Sidney” consists of him packing his bags and flying back to Aruba before he has a chance to Batista it up. It would be especially nice if the took Ortiz with him.

La Vellie Manille,

A few in Minneapolis are wondering how the Yabba’s scene is treating you early in your travels/stay in South Florida?Have they been graced w/ you presence yet?

We hope they have been blessed w/ your presence and are treating you well!!

Peace n Love,

Um, I have not been to Yabba’s…yet. I haven’t been south of the WalMart off U.S. 41 yet, so give me time.

I did check out the cigar bar in Fort Myers last night.I make a weekly visit there to smoke a nice cigar (the Fuente Hemmingway) and brainstorm. But Yabba’s is a must go, complete with a pre-game meal at the Tommy Bahama club.

Mmmm… 45 degrees! To those of us in Minnesota, that still sounds like a tropical heat wave!!!

Don’t tell Al Gore about the weather. It will shoot his global WARMING theory all to hell. 45 degrees in the a.m. Sounds like World Series weather to me. A good sign. Go Twins!
