Pitchers and Catchers
Pitchers and Catchers are reporting to Spring Training soon (if they haven't already).
A lot of people says that signals the start of spring to them. Not me. In fact, I find pitchers and catchers to be a signal that spring is still too far away.
Nothing happens when pitchers and catchers are in camp. You get a few shots of Jorge Posada jogging or chatting with a coach or signing an autograph. It's in Florida so they're warm.
But it's still cold here. And there's still the never ending month of March to come. And March--for the most part--is still winter. It's cold, it's gray, and usually you get that one 60 degree day that's just a tease of what's to come before you spend your time in the 30s and 40s for the next few weeks.
Just like pitchers and catchers. It's a tease. They lob the ball back and forth to each other, play golf, don't work really hard. It's a hint of baseball. It's a tease.
Give me the last spring training game anyday. That's a signal spring is here.
Not two guys oiling their mitts in February.

"Oiling their mitts" sounds like some kind of creepy euphemism. And yeah, spring isn't right around the corner, not while there's more snow on the ground than I've seen in my lifetime (trips to Colorado excepted).
