We’re back after a long President’s Day weekend! Pitchers and catchers for the Mets report to Florida for spring training tomorrow, and we’re expecting another 3-5 inches of snow on Thursday, so it’s safe to say we’re at that point of the winter where we’re all OVER IT. Bring on the spring time!
Here’s what I’ve been reading this morning:
