I'm out, E's in

I'm handing the keys to blog over to John Erardi for a few days.

I've said many times that the worst part of this job is being away from home for six straight weeks during spring training. It's particularly hard when you feel like you should be home.

Now is one of those times for me. My older brother, Tim, is in the late stages of a long battle of cancer. I simply felt like I couldn't wait until Friday to go home. I've enjoyed the blog this spring. Hopefully, I'll be blogging away on Opening Day.
