For diehard baseball fans, this is about the point in Spring Training when you start to get tired of the exhibition games and the pointless drivel coming through the media about some player you don't care about who won't make the team. Roster cuts are finally being made (could we cut Mark Bellhorn?) and pitchers are starting to throw four innings. Some of us have already experienced a nice, warm, sunny weekend when all we wanted to do was go to the ballpark, but alas! We cannot.
Spring Training is too long. Us fans think so, the players think so, the coaches think so...if they just started a week later, we wouldn't lose our enthusiasm for these faux games until we only had two weeks until Opening Day. Three weeks? Well, that just seems like an eternity.
