Around SBN: NHL Trade Rumors: Do You Make A Move For Rick Nash?

Greetings from Tucson (day 1)


Good evening fellow rowbots. This is Mkorpal, reporting on our second day from Arizona. I'll be posting pictures from Arizona for the next week, so I hope you enjoy. It was a great day for baseball. Temps in the high 60's, a little wind, and no clouds what so ever. It was nice to see our "A" team take the field in this split squad game.

And the pitch. Ok, enough of the King.

Now on to the game. Barmes and Tulo ready themselves for the pitch.

After the game, enjoying a fantastic taco from Nico's. God is it awesome. 

Will be back tomorrow with more pictures and maybe some video. Hoping to get to the backfields tomorrow to check out all the pebbles.

Nice job.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s report, assuming that taco doesn’t kill you [/chanelling Russ]

He got THREE of those :)

There will definitely be more action tomorrow, as we’ll be at the minor league fields for the first time

I will post pictures

later this week in an attached album. My sister and dad do not have the computer hook-ups with them for their cameras. Nice pictures, and I hope to see you tomorrow.

Nico's is superior,

but Losbetos is cheaper.
