The B's are back

I was really happy to see that the Astros were able to re-sign Sean Berry. It says a lot about a player's character when it is his own team that takes the chance on him. Sean is due for an injury-free year, and that bat in a lineup with Biggio, Bagwell, Bell, Alou . . . awesome!

And follow that with the news about Tim Bogar. Last year was a real breakout year for Tim. Until it became a break-arm year, that is. Rock-solid defense up the middle is always a key.

Hey, it's warm out . . . let's go play some ball! I'm ready!

And all we need is to get Ausmus signed and we'll have the ultimate Killer-B infield: Berry, Bogar, Biggio, Bagwell and . . . uh . . . Brad!
