All Quiet On The Minor-League Front

mehJust a quick note to let folks know we’re still here. Waiting. For. Some. News.

About the only consolation I have is that I am not alone in this situation, as witnessed by this WaPo missive, from which I barely even have to note that Erik Davis and Taylor Hill were both designated for assignment, i.e. it’s news only to F.P. Santangelo.

So while I could tell you about the work I’m doing on the site (or plan to do), I won’t because I’m sure many of you get enough of that elsewhere.

Wut doo yu meen thair for Santuh?

The weather sure doesn’t seem like it, but it’s almost time for the final Friday of December, which is Christmas for some, December 25th to others, and a day off for most people outside of the retail and restaurant industries.

As I’ve done the past few years, my post-solstice wish is that by the time you read this, you’ve checked off everything on your list, have arrived at your preferred place to be, and can spend time with folks who you want to be with (and, ideally, vice-versa ;-).

Be happy, stay safe, and be grateful. Regardless of your religion or your beliefs, it’s a sentiment that applies to everyone, everywhere no matter what the season.

All Quiet on the Minor-League Front
