Good morning. I’m typing with two hands today — albeit gingerly — after my left hand recovers from my Christmas dinner burn accident. Al has reminded me that trying to make a bare-handed catch rarely works out well. Especially when it’s a pan coming out of a 400-degree oven.
Not a lot of news over Christmas. The MLB executives who work 364 days a year tend to take at least one day off and the sportswriters will take any excuse to kick back.
