Two baseball related thoughts for today:

- It has been reported widely that Keith Foulke is getting lubricant injections in his surgically repaired knees to aid in the healing process. Does anyone else think of the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz getting shots from his oil can to lubricate his joints?

- A couple of days ago I bought tickets to a Pawsox game in May that includes post-game fireworks. I got four box seats on near third base for $39, including the service charge. One infield grandstand seat at Fenway is $45. I think we'll be going to a lot of minor league games this year.
