Merry Christmas to all

Here's hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas.

The holidays really are about being thankful for your friendships and family members. And I am thankful for the group of people I work with in -- and out -- of the office.

A lot of times people like James Farrar, Dave McQueen and Brian Carlin don't get the due they deserve. They -- along with several others -- help make this blog and our Times baseball coverage as good as it can be.

For that, I'm thankful.

And, once again, merry Christmas to all.
