Reactions seem to vary toward the Santana deal yesterday. Here is what some Braves players had to say about the trade: 

This will be the last mailbag for the month of January and I’m glad this month is coming to a close for more reasons than one. But most of all, I’m ready to see what February brings us, and for Spring training that is only seventeen days away. Who isn’t tired of hearing about football and basketball by now? Bring out the bats and balls, dust off the bases, beat the dirt off the cleats, and wash the uniforms because baseball season is almost here.

This is basically a catch-up post for me to post all of the recent news/tidbits of this week. While it’s not much, it is something as the month of January is coming to a close and February is on its way with only 20 days until pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training. Lately, I know I have not been really great at updating, but I hope to get better and back to like I was to some extent. We’ll see how this goes as I can’t promise anything.

NOTE BEFORE READING: I wrote this for my LiveJournal and posted it there already. I didn’t leave hardly anything out, meaning it’s full of fangirl moments and rants as well. Please excuse those moments; I had to include them for y’all to get the full effects of my day. I’m posting the link to the pictures that I do have, but I may add more to that gallery soon. I’m not sure yet. I won’t crowd this post, so just click the link at the bottom. You get to read first and then look at the pictures. (more…)

I’m sorry for the lack of updates lately, but school is showing why it’s not liked as much as other fun things in that it’s making me have less free time. I know as soon as I went on my  not-so-mini-hiatus, there would be news everywhere. Well, considering it’s the end of January, any news is good for this time of year. So I’m not going to try catch everyone up because I’m sure most of you know by now everyone is signed for this year except Soriano. Hopefully, the team and Sori can agree on a deal though since the difference was only by a million, but all we can do for now is sit and wait to see what happens.

Just an update on me since it’s been a few days since I last posted. I’m back from FanFest, as I only went Saturday, I just slept most of the day yesterday. I’m currently writing a review post, and am about to finish it, about my opinions and experiences on the event that day. I also took 33 pictures, but I’m going to wait for my sister to send me the pictures she took as well, since I’m sure she got more than I did. I took more, but some were blurry or taken by accident of nothing. I had to edit most of them because they were dark, but I fixed them to my liking and they don’t look bad. But I hope to post that later this week, hopefully with pictures, but if it comes down to it, I might just add them later.
