Practice at Tamanawis.

It was a fairly uneventful practice until close to the end. A certain second baseman was having a tough time in the field, with groundballs tipping off the end of his glove that some say would have been in his back pocket last year. He was understandably angry when he began to take BP, and this anger only intensified after he swung through the first pitch. He basically lost it. Then with his neck muscles bulging, his face turning red, and his mouth struggling to contain the growing amount of foam, he ripped a line drive so hard that the ball literally exploded.

In other news, it was my first practice of the year, and it seems obvious to me that what was missing from the team is now back. Just one man's opinion.
