Sorry about the lack of blogs. Been "on assignment," as we like to say. But, really, what has there been to report ... other than the fiasco in Tampa?

While Alex Rodriguez is saying he was young and stupid (hey kids, there's an excuse for you!), he also said he used a substance that was available over the counter in the Dominican Republic (a claim that appears to be false).

But enough of A-Rod (please).

All is quiet in Fort Myers. No controversies. The Red Sox are quietly putting together a contender (obviously, very early for such talk).

Meanwhile, Manny is being Manny, but not in anyone's uniform, yet.
