only 44 years old. his chances are decent (67ish percent) but not great. sad indeed.

turns out it's stage four meaning it's spread to other parts of his body bringing his odds way down. on average his survival is around 4%.

Spring Training kicking off and we haven't missed a step.

Outscored 20-9 in our first 3 last year.

22-9 this year.

Buckle up boys.

yeah, but my bb instinct still says spring training doesn't mean a thing. i'm trying real hard (you know it's not easy for me ) to be patient and let them shake out the team and at least start to see some improvement.
but i'm sure not going to pay mlb to watch the games this year!

On paper this team is way worse than last yrs teams. I expect them to win more games but it’s hard to care about this franchise anymore
