Well, its a wrap on spring training baseball. The Phillies and the Pittsburg Pirates tied 5-5 after an interesting game . The weather was perfect - warm and sunny and my sister Eileen came down from Crystal River for the game. We also had breakfast at Lenny's again and I had the"Redneck Benedict" one more time - two poached eggs on biscuits with sausage, all covered with gravy with a side of country potatoes and onions. It was probably about 2,000 calories. Not health food but probably O.K. once a year (Well, maybe twice this year).
The Phillies finished spring training on an optimistic note despite losing a few more games than they won. They have a lot of young players with the potential to do well and a mix of veterans who still have not yet reached their full potential . Pitching may be O.K., but there are a lot of variables so it is hard to predict how well they will do this year. I have a pretty good feeling about it all however and am going out on a limb to predict they will win 75 games this year and have an outside chance to make the playoffs. They open the season Thursday sday afternoon in Atlanta.
After the game we had dinner with Eileen at the Lucky Dill, a NY style restaurant just north of the park. After returning to the RV we went to bed early. Tomorrow we will be getting everything ready for our departure Thursday morning for Atlanta and the beginning of our trip home.
