The first spring training games of the year take place today and that means that 30 teams are still telling themselves that this is their year. Their fans are all calculating how if things fall "just right" we could really make a run at this thing.
In Orlando it sounds like this:
"You know a rotation of Lowe, Vasquez, Glavine, Jurrgens, and Kawakami is solid. Hudson comes back in July/August. Gonzo is healthy in the bullpen. If Franceour can hit like 2007, why can't we win the NL east?"
Or in Lakeland:
"Zumaya and Willis are throwing the cover off the ball. Sheffield is re-dedicated. No way Cabrera starts off slow again, Inge is back at third. Lyon will be the solid closer we were missing last year. Etc, etc."
I can't help but having high hopes for the 09' Tigers and Braves (my national league adopted team). And every time I try to curb my enthusiasm (seriously one show I need to get into) I see an article like this. How can I not make my October reservations now?
