Today’s post is brought to you from Toledo, Ohio. With Spring Training wrapping up in just over a week, every team has reason to be hopeful that this will be their year. Though it is widely accepted that exhibition games are meaningless, the Giants should feel good about their 18-7 record this spring, and the Indians are certainly pleased that they have won 13 of their first 19 games. The reigning World Series champion Yankees, meanwhile, can shake off their 9-12 record as rustiness. It may not have the excitement of October, but April is when everyone’s glass is half full; no one has ground to make up or nagging injuries to play through. Every team has a share of first place, and that’s what makes it the most promising time of the year.

I should preface this by saying I'm not a Braves fan and never have been. This is due to many factors, including my dislike of many things Southern (I say this having spent almost 10 years living in Alabama, and several more visiting my parents there), the annoying and insulting idiocy of the Tomahawk Chop and its associated "war cry," the stupid antics of rednecks like John Rocker (and the fans' tolerance of his ignorant ways), as well as their hegemony of the airwaves. Because they were always on TBS, it was hard to avoid the Braves, and in the days before my DirecTV Extra Innings package (AKA "Baseball Heroin") I'd watch the Braves games just to root against them.
