Tuesday, March 2, 2010<\/h3>\n

On Tuesday morning, we knew there was a chance of rain which was predicted to come through in the morning just as workouts would be getting underway.\u00a0 And if it did, the players would work out in the clubhouse and batting cages and the workouts wouldn’t be open to the public.\u00a0 We planned on going in a little later than usual, so that we’d get there when the players took the field instead of an hour and a half early like we had on the previous days.\u00a0 It was raining and windy when I woke up, and just before we left we read on Extra Bases<\/a> that the players were indeed staying indoors.\u00a0 That saved us a trip to Ft. Myers, but it was quite the bummer, because I already missed out on one workout when my flight was delayed a day, and now I was missing another.<\/p>\n

\"When

When the final workout of the year was rained out, it was time to move 2.6 miles down the street to the stadium and get the games underway.<\/p><\/div>\n

Around 10:30, just as the Red Sox would have probably been wrapping up their abbreviated workout if they had had one, the sun came out and it was\u00a0 a warm, beautiful Florida day.\u00a0 I was even able to wear shorts for the first time all week.\u00a0 I joined my parents on their daily 2-mile walk and we planned a trip to the beach in the afternoon.\u00a0 But after lunch, a cold front came through, and the temperature dropped and the wind started up.\u00a0 We drove to beautiful Siesta Beach in Sarasota, but by then it was completely overcast and so cold it wasn’t worth staying very long.<\/p>\n

Now that the workouts are wrapped up, it’s time for the games to begin.\u00a0 I’ve got tickets to both college games tomorrow.\u00a0 For those of you in New England, the nightcap is on NESN at 6:05.\u00a0 Boof Bonser is starting, so don’t miss it!<\/p>\n

I’ll leave you with some additional pictures I took during the past three days of workouts which I didn’t get to post at the time:<\/p>\n
