Let's be resolute ...

Every ... okay, most ... well, all right, some ... New Year's Eves here on Da Box, we talk resolutions. (Near as I can tell, we've done it twice -- in 2004-05 and last year, 2007-08). But let's make this not-exactly-annual trek into New Year's fortitude and see if we can show some "resolve" ...
 
Now's your chance to share either your own baseball-related resolution, posted in public where you'll have no choice but to own up to it a year from now, or -- if you want to go for the cheap laugh, to post a resolution "on behalf of" someone in MLB.

That said, a few pointers ...

• Don't go for the obvious; "The Toronto Blue Jays resolve to win the World Series in 2009." Well, duh, yeah.
• Make them realistic, if possible -- "John Olerud resolves to make a comeback and hit .400 this year" ... well, not so much, you know?
• No steroids- or other illegal paraphernalia-related resolutions, either way, okay?
• Don't limit yourselves to just the Blue Jays -- there's a whole wide world of ballplayers out there!
• Be nice -- or at least be civil! No "I (insert name of player) resolve to have a career-ending injury this year" shenanigans.
• Too many rules? Nah -- now, have some fun and as the headline says, show some resolve!

Okay, then ... batter up!
