Random Thoughts: Ready To Rumble Edition

1) If the pictures and videos we have shared still don't have you convinced that you NEED to come down to Mesa for spring training, maybe this will.

Today's High Temp in Chicago: 20 degrees
Today's High Temp in Mesa: 72 degrees

The defense rests.

2) When you see Soriano's bat up close it's spell-binding. It looks like it weighs 50 pounds.

3) Derek Lee is tall. Fontenot, not so much. If you want in-depth analysis, you've come to the wrong place.

4) 5 minutes. That's how long it takes to feel like a tool standing around waiting for a foul ball.

5) Ready To Rumble may be the most underrated wrestling movie of all time.

6) The special last night at the local sports bar was some sort of frozen margarita. Next to the price was a little note that said "Limit 3." The trial and error process they went through to come up with that number must have been a sight to see.

7) Cubs' spring training and Chompie's in Scottsdale are where the cool octogenarians like to hang.

More later.

Go Cubs.

PS. We're moving up in the world and got ourselves a Facebook group. All the videos and pics (and some that won't be on the blog) can be found there. Check it out.
