Phillies pitchers and catchers have reported to Clearwater. The Phillies are legit World Series contenders. Jimmy Rollins is talkin' the talk again, predicting 100 wins. A Kris Benson signing, while not Johan-esque, is imminent and could go a long way toward solidifying the Phillies rotation. Okay, maybe I'm reaching.
Unfortunately, while players awaited morning physicals, they were watching Brian McNamee and Roger Clemens compete for the title of Biggest Liar in a colossal waste of taxpayer money. Don't get bogged down in this mess. Regardless of who you believe, both men's reputations are forever tarnished, both will make millions from their future book deals, and baseball won't change it's record books.
Focus on what a great time of year this is. The Phillies, Mets and Yankees are all contenders. Every team is brimming with optimism (except for the Marlins and Pirates). Start buying tickets. Take a weekend trip to Florida to see your heroes up close. Talk trash with other baseball fans. Start planning for your fantasy draft. Try to figure out which Phillies infielder... Howard, Rollins or Utley... will be this season's MVP.
Whoever said December is the most wonderful time of the year clearly doesn't appreciate the beauty of a 6-4-3 doubleplay. It's baseball season, baby!
