People came in sick. It's cold at night, almost freezing temperatures. The rain has continued off and on the last couple of days. It doesn't bode well for their health.

Wednesday night we have a chance of snow or rain and temperatures will be in the low 30s. That will continue into Thursday, but it's not going to be a big storm. It's going to be more of a nuisance - there shouldn't be any accumulation that effects anything in a negative way.

We always seem to get players from the Dominican Republic who receive quite a shock by the cold temperatures of April and May in New England. Players are fortunate to come here, be a part of the Red Sox organization, and become familiar with the Boston media who covers this team.

You are little cold and little hungry; but someone else outside your room is freezing and starving.

The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play. So we sat in the house. All that cold, cold, wet day.

By the time it does get cold, it will be the second week of February, almost the third week. It just seems like we are getting that much closer to spring.
