We have to soak up this warm sun when we got the chance. You got to live for the present. You never know when things will get ugly again. It could be tomorrow, it could be 15 years from now.

Baseball is a patient man's game, and the season start is right around the corner. Why all the gloom? But there’s no reason to think that it will be dead after the season starts.

They probably threw him Yesterday because he got shutdown early on Saturday. They also need to get the longest look at Willis they possibly can before deciding what to do with him.

Nice article, Billfer. I couldn't listen to the game today even though I paid 19.99 for a subscription. I thought for sure Willis would pitch more than 1 inning. You just gotta wonder what's up their sleeves (Leland & DD). Also, Perry has been getting shelled and we haven't seen much from Zoom, except for lots of HR's. I have to wonder if he'll make it.

It's now or never for Willis and a some pain is probably a good thing for him. I've had some of my best games while playing in pain (bowling/golf). What's great about pain, is that you forget about tweaking your mechanics and you go back to the basics. You just do what comes natural and you don't think about anything else. Thinking too much and tweaking mechanics is what you do when you're in a slump. I think pain is one of the best slump busters out there. Major injuries and severe pain is another story. I'm just talking about minor stuff that goes away with a long soak in a hot tub and few aspirins. That’s fine by me. It’s now or never for Willis and a some pain is probably a good thing for him.
