The path to reversing the poor fortunes of 2015 was unveiled this afternoon and Major League Baseball released teams' 2016 schedules.

The playoffs and its promise of eternal glory together with the inherent likelihood of devastating disappointment that comes with any 8 (or 10 if you want) team tournament is enough to keep anyone with a rooting interest in the outcome enthralled. Why look to next season and it's likely disappointment when this season offers hope?
