This may sound like a stupid question but what is the deal with split squads in spring training? I don't really know what they are...

"Major League Baseball teams use spring training to evaluate talent and decide which players will start the season on the big league roster. They play exhibition games virtually every day in March, but that may not be enough to get a proper look at everyone in camp. So teams often play split-squad games that divide the roster into two groups that can play different teams in different places."

Astros won today to take their sparkling spring record to 2-15-3 dry.gif

In other news,
QUOTE
The Houston Astros signed catcher Ivan Rodriguez to a one-year contract, the club announced today.

Rodriguez, a 18-year veteran, has a .301 career batting average with 295 home runs. Known as perhaps the best defensive catcher in Major League history, Rodriguez will help solidify a position that has been somewhat of a question mark for the Astros this spring.

"I'm glad that I'm back with a Major League organization," said Rodriguez. "The Astros have a lot of good players. I'm looking forward to having a great year and helping this team to make the playoffs."

I don't know how much he'll help, but it's definitely an upgrade over Humberto Quintero/JR Towles..

Audrey Hepburn was born on May 4, 1929 in Brussels, Belgium, with the given name of Edda Kathleen van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston. She really was blue-blood from the beginning with her father, a wealthy English banker, and her mother, a Dutch baroness. After her parents divorced, Audrey went to London with her mother where she went to a private girls school.

Later, when her mother moved back to the Netherlands, she attended private schools as well. While vacationing with her mother in Arnhem, Holland, Hitler's army suddenly took over the town. It was here that she fell on hard times during the Nazi occupation. Audrey suffered from depression and malnutrition. After the liberation, Audrey went to a ballet school in London on a scholarship and later began a modeling career. . wow power leveling,

As a model, she was graceful and, it seemed, she had found her niche in life--until the film producers came calling. After being spotted modeling by a producer, she was signed to a bit part in the European film Nederlands in 7 lessen (1948) in 1948. Later, she had a speaking role in the 1951 film, Young Wives' Tale (1951) as Eve Lester. The part still wasn't much

By the end of the sixties, after her divorce from actor Mel Ferrer, Audrey decided to retire while she was on top. Later she married Dr. Andrea Dotti. From time to time, she would appear on the silver screen. One film of note was Robin and Marian (1976) with Sean Connery in 1976. In 1988, Audrey became a special ambassador to the United Nations UNICEF fund helping children in Latin America and Africa, a position she retained until 1993. .

world of warcraft power leveling,
She was named to People's magazine as one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world. Her last film was Always (1989) in 1989. Audrey Hepburn died on January 20, 1993 in Tolochnaz, Switzerland, from colon cancer. She had made a total of 31 high quality movies. Her elegance and style will always be remembered in film history as evidenced by her being named to Empire magazine's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time".

My secret of staying young is simple: devote your attention to the part of you that's young and growing your brain. Keep your mind awake and you will stay young ail over. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning at least one new thing every day.

  No matter how old you are, it's not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife without knowledge in the past who made herself into an excellent industrial designer. I know an old electrical engineer who has become a highly paid artist.Get over the idea that you are over too old to go back to school. I know a man who entered medical college at 70. He got his degree with honours and became a famous doctor. An other man went to law school at 71 and now is an active lawyer.
age of conan power leveling,
  No matter how old people are, staying young is easy for these who live in the future. You can clo it if you are active enough to try. Keep your mind awake and active: that's the only youth elixir.
