pitchers and catchers will soon be reporting.
spring is upon us, no matter the weather.

for one hundred sixty-two days we’ll exercise our care for the vernal, then summery, then autumnal gladiators, hoping that they aren’t performance-enhanced, praying that they aren’t testosterony buffoons. for one hundred sixty-two days we’ll ride the undulations and hope that our guys will emerge victorious at least eighty-two times. that leaves eighty heartbreaks, disappointments, outrages, as well as several handfuls of hair piled at the foot of the couch or desk or hiding between the mattress and the wall when the boys are on the west coast.

pitchers and catchers will be reporting soon.
