BabyDash isn't so sure what to make of the recent signings. He doesn't know anything about Ramon Ortiz, except that he was good in, like, 1999, which according to Dash is practically World War II. At the same time, being an optimist generally, he is all in favor of giving people a chance. And he trusts Terry Ryan, because he and TR have similar hairlines.

Dash is doing wonderfully--growing by leaps and bounds and accumulating baby fat where he should. Word is he should be out of the hospital in a couple of weeks, well in time to watch his first spring training game.
