    We'll see... anyone remember Ken Cloude?

    Yeah, I didn't think so.

          Hawk attacks 'A-Rod' on school tour of Fenway, draws blood


          --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Associated Press

          BOSTON -- A 13-year-old girl touring Fenway Park on a school trip was attacked by a resident red-tailed hawk that drew blood from her scalp Thursday.


          She wasn't seriously hurt, but some observers saw an omen for a certain New York Yankees slugger in the attack at the home of the Boston Red Sox. The girl's name is Alexa Rodriguez.

          Vince Jennetta, a teacher who chaperoned her class trip from Memorial Boulevard Middle School in Bristol, Conn., told The Boston Globe that Alexa is "a little shaken, but OK."

          The hawk was perched on a railing in the upper deck behind home plate while the group toured the stadium. The hawk flew at the girl and swooped with its talons extended, scratching her scalp.

          A single egg lay in the hawk's nearby nest in an overhang near the stadium's press booth.

          The nest and egg were removed at the direction of state wildlife officials.




          Even though I do like A-Rod and think of the Red Sox as Yankees Lite, this story amused the Hell out of me.

                It's a good thing they play 162 games and not 16. But seriously, I'm not worried. While it's definitely not the start I was hoping for you have to remember that Granderson, Zumaya, Rodney, Sheffield are injured as well as Cabrera is a little bit nicked up with his quad. Plus 6 of the 8 starters are Latino and seem not to play too well in the cold weather.

                If I still honestly had to pick a favorite to win the World Series (remember the odds are against everyone) I'd still take the Tigers.

                  Oh, me too, but this just starts things with a sour note. Then there is the concern that a bad start could damper their confidence (though I suppose with all the high expectations that'd be a good thing) or have otherwise further reaching consequences.

                    Guys, we HAVE to be able to beat the Royals. Wins are not going to be easy to come by in the AL Central. This is doubleplus ungood.

                              I love that the Orioles are leading the AL East and the Royals are leading the Central. Ah, April.

                              I'd like to see the Yankee bats do something. The Yanks are lucky to be 3-3. Thank goodness for Chien-Ming Wang, Phil Hughes, Joba and Mo.

                                I might start worrying soon.
