The Soft Pitch

Is this the year the Cubs will finally win it all? The major topic of all my friends, business associates and family. Usually Cub fans enjoy the season and get excited about any playoffs opportunities. This year only one thing matters; will they score a few runs and win some games in the playoffs.  My wish is they get it in the World Series before I die, hopefully this is the year.

Other things are happening too…here are 10 comments.

10) 4,000 different people have read this blog…get a life people !

9) Avnet will be launch a very unique educational program for customers this week, what is it? Stay tuned, this blog will drop the news.

I had to laugh, in PHX the DBacks closed the roof on opening day because it was too hot/sunny. It was in the 80’s. In Chicago we would have held a parade.

7) PHX is getting the All-star MLB game in 2011. If you have not noticed the Valley is easily becoming the Mecca for sports in the Americas. Past months… Fiesta Bowl, FBR Open, the NCAA regionals, LPGA, spring training, and NBA All-star game etc.

6) I miss Mark DeRosa on Cubbies and I have not met any Cub fan that disagrees and wonders what was Hendry thinking. Oh by the way he hit 3 homers versus Cubs a week ago.

5) Yankee Stadium and Mets new park open soon…cool. The old Shea was a dump. YS was so special to go to…the centerfield momument area was priceless. So who/what was buried in the new Yankees building by a Red Sox fan? Roger Clemens or was it just his ego?

4) Chicago 16″ Softball Hall of Fame broke ground on the inductee park area in Forest park, IL after rasing $150,000. Big thanks to March Manufacturing….they make pumps.

3) The Arizona Sports Hall of Fame will induct 4 new members on Thursday at the Phoenican Resort from 4-6pm.  Join the fun…buy a tix there.

2) I felt good yesterday when one of our inside component salespeople stopped by to say hi…he said business is improving and was optimistic, well finally that’s one in a row, I need to ask more folks…yippee.

1) Happy Easter
