Spring Training

This week brought a Nor'ester with ice, snow and arctic cold fronts. But south of here in Fort Myers, pitchers and catchers reported in officially today bringing the hope of green and warmth and flowers and baseball to battered hearts everywhere.

While all the lights are shining all the way from the land of the Riising Sun, I'm enjoying the view of some of the guys who are normally in that position. A quote from Beckett here, a shot of Schilling there - it's all good. But the bottom line is, so long as the cameras are pointing towards our off season foreign acquistions, everyone else can do what they have to in relative peace and quiet.

It won't be long before April 2nd and opening day in KC, but until that day, the reports of sun and Florida will warm my heart until the Sox come home.
