Spring Training is finally here! The next month or so is probably my favorite part of the year, because it's when I can delude myself into thinking that maybe the Cubs could get close to resembling a competitive team, sorta. This year looks to be no different; I've tricked myself into thinking the Cubs could win 81 games this year.
Really, though, the reason Spring Training is so cool is because of one thing.
In honor of this momentous occasion, we are going to hold a simple giveaway. The first 64 e-mail addresses left in the comments (one address per person and per comment, let's not be jerks) will be randomly assigned a player in the bunt tournament. If your player wins the whole thing, you win a copy of The Book by Tom Tango!
Good luck, play to win!
Signups will run until I get 64 people, or Friday.
Note: We will remove your email from the comment once we collect it, so it's not just sitting out there for spambots

So what you are saying is that Garza is a better hitter and baserunner than Vitters.

That can be done, but we’ll need your credit card number, birthday, mother’s maiden name, and childhood pet.

I guess I should’ve done the “at” and “dot” thing to make it harder for spammers, but that’s the point of the hotmail account anyway 😀

Since when is it cool to be harvesting people’s emails in a public thread?
Eh, who cares. Like RC, I have an email just for this porpoise

I’m pretty certain it’s a social experiment, and there is no real contest.

It’s a good one. I wonder how many cell numbers they’d get if they asked for them instead?
You’re doubting the legitimacy of a contest where nerds’ email addresses get paired with real athletes’ training drill performances in order to win a book written by a

I think this is all a devious plan by Myles to make sure that come All-Star Fan Voting he will have 64 e-mail addresses to make sure that Brett Jackson gets voted in.

If SK wins, just slap one of these on the prize and give it to Bertram at the local postal exchange. They’ll know what to do with it.

When I saw Campana———->AZ earlier today, I assumed that meant he arrived in Mesa, AZ, having cleared waivers.
