Welcome To The McKechnie

To paraphrase Brent Musberger, I am looking live at McKechnie Field, roughly two hours before the Pittsburgh Pirates host the Philadelphia Phillies in the spring home-opener.

(Yes, they hosted the boys from MCC on Wednesday, but that was an exhibition...then again, this is the spring, so aren't they ALL exhibitions? Anyway...)

I am John Lembo, staff writer at The Bradenton Herald and your host today as the Pirates begin their 40th spring in Bradenton. It's a little chilly, but the sun is out, the palm trees are swaying, Ryan Doumit is spraying line drives all over the outfield and hey - the wireless connection in the press box is working!

Life is good.
