The good folks in Major League Baseball's public relations department on Thursday gave us a listing of everything that officially happened at this year's annual winter meetings. The "2007 WINTER MEETINGS TRANSACTIONS SUMMARY" ran a little over a page, nicely typed without any apparent errors, and included such beauties as these:
BIGGEST CLIMB: Nashville (17 to 13), N.J. (20 to 16), Toronto (27 to 23) BIGGEST FALL: Columbus (14 to 18), Calgary (24 to 28)
Don't let any of those blowhard national prognosticators try to fool you. Here's the unvarnished truth: You just can't tell about baseball's winter meetings. You think the BCS was hard to call? Try to figure out what's going to happen at baseball's annual pay and swap.

I've been to Nashville many times and always enjoy my visits to the city. Now, this isn't a travelogue piece, but my schedule brought me there over the weekend and I decided to spend my time as a diehard hockey fan. I took in two Predators games, multiple youth hockey games, and even went to the Preds' Friday optional skate at their practice rink.
In Nashville the accursed white whale is red. Since the Predators entered the NHL in 1998, they have chased the elusive, hulking glory of the Red Wings, not only in the Central Division but also in their own city, which is heavily sprinkled with Detroit fans. Now, with five weeks remaining in a season in which Nashville used a run of 20 wins in 24 games to cement its status as a Stanley Cup contender, the Predators -- with visions of a silver chalice rather than Ahab's gold doubloon shimmering in their minds -- are hot on the great beast's tail.
Memo to Nashville:
The reports out of Pennsylvania for the past several months had been arriving almost daily: good skate day, bad skate day, pain-free, no discomfort, a new orthotic. If Peter Forsberg's quest for a skate for his surgically-repaired right foot -- and he tried 28 pairs this season before seemingly finding a solution the past three weeks -- had been vaguely reminiscent of a certain champion race horse, the Nashville Predators still thought they could ride the Philadelphia Flyers captain a long way.

Time to dig deep into the NHL mailbag. But first, this reminder to the passionate fans of Nashville: My column on Monday was not about me advocating relocation by the Preds. It was an examination of the possibility that owner Craig Leipold might consider relocating if he fails in his efforts to bring in local ownership and find a way to reverse the declining interest in the team from the local business sector. So ease up on the name-calling. My wife reads your e-mails and even she's starting to think I'm a jerk.
Savor the moment, Predators fans.
