Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

One Week From Saturday

I'm always thrilled the day after the Super Bowl. 

Not necessarily because of the result (although this year's game was a nail-biter), but because of where it falls on the calendar. 

More than anything else, the end of football season signifies that the start of baseball season is actually within view.

Yes, yes, I know, actual games will not be played for two months. But even two months is a short enough time that I can get my head around it. And in the meantime, we have Orioles pitchers and catchers reporting on February 14, the Saturday after next.

I can almost smell the daffodils!

Pitchers and catchers, my three favorite words

Last night the second that the game ended my dad turned to me and said, “Bring on the baseball season!”

YES

Its the first thing I looked up this morning; when pitchers and catchers report. As an added bonus, in a surprise move I may just be moving to Ft Lauerdale very soon, so I may get to catch some spring training goodness.

BRING. IT. ON.

I am ready. More than ready. Although I fear we’ve probably got one good snow left this year before I can actually start looking for daffodils & crocus poking through… (croci?)

So Feb. 14 has a redeemling feature after all!

Usually I think of it as “Hallmark Day”. But now we have a REAL reason to celebrate.

Sigh

Though it won’t be “spring” in Boston until mid May, I am so excited for spring training. Really, really excited.

Feb. 14: Pitchers and catchers report. Feb. 15: Orioles pitchers shelled. Feb. 16: Surviving Orioles infielders issued kevlar vests.

But seriously, folks, we’re going to be great this year, I can feel it.

Like a groin injury.

Actually, I’m rooting for an RPG of 7.5-9 so a 70-win season can become reality. While we keep, um, rebuilding ‘n’ stuff.

Let’s Go O’s!
