Nick of Time

One player everyone will be watching this season is new outfielder Nick Swisher and I have to say you can already see what a positive impact he will have on our club. Energy-wise, he brings so much to the ballpark each day and he is a great guy to have in the lockerroom. Those intangibles are what the Sox saw in Swisher, not to mention his big bat.

I don't want to make him out to be Babe Ruth, but he's a great bat to have in the lineup. He can also draw 100 walks which makes him a solid on-base machine, just like Jim Thome.

When he was an opponent, I loved him. He is just a ballplayer and we can use him.

Can you post the ceremonial first pitch & national anthem singers before each home stand. I saw that the Len & Bob blog posts the 7inn. stretch singers so if you have the ceremonial first pitch & national anthem it would be nice for all us fans.
