Finally

Reds pitchers and catchers report.  Baseball is upon us:
Finally. The long, hard winter is over.
Baseball is back.
Reds pitchers and catchers officially report to spring training today, out in Goodyear, Arizona. There won’t be any games for a while, and the real competition for roster spots will not heat up for a few weeks. Dusty Baker won’t be mangling as many toothpicks just yet, and no one’s frustration with CoCo is going to bubble over. Players will be going through the motions, doing more stretching than you thought possible, and there may be a laugh or two. Pitchers will complain about the repetitive PFP drills, and Brandon Phillips will show up early with a big smile.
I can't wait to crack a cold one and tune in Marty and the Cowboy.
