Another ranting and nonsense on Twitter (for 2010-01-31)

I miss baseball. This time of the year is the hardest. I tweeted about Eri Yoshida, first female to pitch in Arizona Winter League, and Jeremy Lin, Harvard basketball player who could be first Asian American draft pick in NBA history. HIsanori Takahashi still don’t have team yet.
