Hello, March! This is the last spring training milestone that gives me a brief surge of excitement at real baseball being closer which is replaced in about 2.5 hours with extreme boredom and impatience for the regular season because I am a noted ingrate. The sun is shining in Seattle, though, so let’s hunker in and enjoy this very meaningful game which we get to watch on TV and which we must win if we hope to make the playoffs. No MLB team has ever made the playoffs after losing on March 1st, so this is it.*
