Five Not So Burning Issues

I don’t have many “burning” issues but have a few “Not so-burning” thoughts.

Congratulations!

1. The Noise Nation would like to congratulate our friend Stephen Gross on his taking over as the Morning Call’s Phillies beat writer!

Check out the Phillies Files here.

Predictions!
2. That anticipation of finding out who will be on the 2014 IronPig’s Opening day roster. The Phillies dictate this to us and we wonder, we speculate, we make predictions.. some are correct.. some are outright ridiculous but we have fun doing so. Just trying to get a head start on the season even if there is 3 feet of snow still on the field.

A Real Burning Issue
3. Shouldn’t have used so much hot sauce on the corned beef hash this morning.. just shouldn’t have.

The Iron Rail Series!
4. The SWB Railriders have upped the anty in the Iron Rail competition with the IronPigs with a “Friends don’t let friends be IronPig fans” tshirt. I am waiting for the IronPig’s response. I think we all are…

The Weather!
5. That Groundhog out in Punxsutawney predicted an extended winter and the past couple of months have all but proved it true. With all the snow and cold weather could we see a miserable month of baseball in April? Who remembers how cold it was when the Phillies came to town to open Coca Cola Park in 2008? I was there and it was cold. It was cold 2 weeks later for that Opening day as well. It usually is pretty cool through mid-May. Will the weather come through for us or will we see ear flap caps and ski masks out on the diamond?

All in fun, it should be an interesting spring and we’ll do our best to keep you updated and Kram will give his best roster predictions (his are usually a lot more accurate than mine) and it’ll be a good time with good friends regardless.

OinK!
