Greetings from Highway 60 on the way to Lakeland. Florida has the sun, but it can also be a creepy state.
I call Florida the set for “America’s Most Wanted.” Here’s proof. Just past a road sign: State Prisoners Working.”
Immediately thought of “Cool Hand Luke.”

Hey John, do u travel with the team on the bus, or are you on your own?
um, John, they get prisoners to do road clean ups and such and other various work for the state which involves high ways. That happens everywhere.
In car pool with a couple of writers. We’re right behind the team bus.-JD
Metsfan: Of course they do. Sorry the point of the post went over your head.-JD
Don’t you mean “passed”?
;)
Who you car pooling with?
If your with Popper, tell him thanks for the hat.
Yes, passed. Will tell Popper hello.-JD
Ah, the glorious life of a baseball beat writer.
Can’t wait to be in their shoes.
Those Floridian highways can be very interesting… Going from PSL to Lakeland via state routes is a very ‘country’ type trip… You get to see the ‘real’ Florida…
Ahhhh… To spend one month in your shoes though!
Andrew V. Once I found out I couldn’t play, this is what I’ve wanted to do.-JD
are you car pooling with David Lennon? Tell him I think he’s the best mets sports writer, far superior to all the other schmucks out there. Good writer, no bias, gets the facts, excellent all around.
Well I haven’t been able to hit the broadside of a barn since I was 6, so I guess I’m in the same boat with you.
I’ve been a soccer player my whole life, but baseball is simply the most beautiful game. I love it.
Oh, unless it’s a Wiffle Ball…I can hit and throw those pretty well.
To metsfan: Lennon says thanks and for you to forward that to his boss at Newsday.-JD
Ha! oh, and you’re not too shabby either John…
