I am posting this so that regular readers won't have to keep coming back today wondering if I have posted the update yet. I have 5 or 6 days a year where I wake up in the morning and my back tells me "Guess what buddy, you ain't going nowhere today". Today is one of those days. So no Spring Training photos today. Sorry.
Usually with a little stretching/back cracking, rest and ibuprofen it lasts only 1 day....sometimes 2. Hopefully, I will be "back" on it tomorrow.....pun intended.

About Me
- Giantfan9
- I have been a Giants fan for as long as I can remember. I have had Giants Regular Season Tickets for 25 years (since 1985) and Spring Training Season Tickets since the "new" Scottsdale Stadium opened in 1992. I have gone to Spring Training every year, except the strike year, since 1987. I go to A LOT of Giants games. I also go to Arizona for the Arizona Fall League every October/November. I figure I attended about 125-130 games in calendar year 2008......almost all of them involving Giants players. Baseball is a great game.....Giants' baseball is the best part of a great game!

get better man! take it easy. great work so far.
Some guy named McNamee told me a supplement called "HGH" would help a fellow heal faster. But he told me not to take it. So I did. You should too.
That's what happens when you don't "Track" the first day!!!
:)
Just kidding....Get better GF9
Oh man, ST just started and you are already on the DL?
Geez!
:) Nothing a bit of that Harp can't cure, eh?
Rest up. Looking forward to more updates!
Ouch. Hope your back feels better soon!
Great Updates so far this spring. Hope the back feels better.
Get better soon. I know what a bad back feels like and wish you well.
I hope you're better soon - I love reading your blog every day. Can't wait till March 8th when I'll be there in person!!
What I have to resort to standard media void of any real reporting! Hurry up and get better before I have to god for bid turn on east coast bias SportsCenter.
Really hope you feel better!
you know, I have the same thing. Except it's my head and not my back, and it's about 104 days a year.
Get well soon. By the way, I read Omar Vizquel and Rich Aurelia were both rested today. Are these related to your current strife? I think we should be told...
Try whiskey, much more fun than ibuprofen.
