 Photo by the Groundhog A few days early, the groundhog emerges, Temperatures heading toward the 50’s. The local ball field looks inviting Maybe it is time for opening day. How is A-Rod recuperating? The Yankees, he is told, are looking into new allegations, Trying to bust his contract, be done with him. Is that nice R.A. Dickey ready to win another 20? The Mets let him go, and dissed him on his way out the door. Never mind, the groundhog says. I’m going back down.  Let me know when it's safe to come up.

Relegation to where? At the end of Ralph Houk's tenure with the Yankees, my brother and I went to a few games and my brother would shout out to Ralph, "Go back to Spokane!" Where should we send the Wilpons and their team? "Go back to Bensonhurst"? They don't deserve Fort Greene, Boerum Hill or Carroll Gardens. It's Bensonhurst, as Thomas Wolfe seemed to know in Only the Dead Know Brooklyn (and the Mets). Sigh.

Well, I for one am going to miss the old fake-to-third-throw-to-first pick-off move this season. Never failed to remind me and my brother of our favorite Saturday morning cartoon:
