April Fool?

I've been so busy recently that I haven't had time to post on here - in fact, since last Thursday, I haven't even had chance to surf the Web to find out what's going on in the baseball world. So when I logged on to ESPN this morning and saw news of the biggest trade since Babe Ruth went to New York, I have to admit that I checked the date - I know it's February 17th, but I just wondered if I hadn't gone to sleep for a month-and-a-half and woken up on April 1st. After all the A-Rod-Manny hoopla over the winter, I thought this had all blown over, but the Yankees proved - as ever - that it ain't over 'til the fat lady lady sings (or 'til the best shortstop in baseball signs on the dotted line.

I need some time to digest this huge piece of news (maybe I'll set the photo of A-Rod in pinstripes as my desktop wallpaper - after all, seeing is believing...), and when I have, I'll be able to react to it.
