Yesterday was the first spring training game for all three of these teams, and let's get one thing straight right now - spring training games mean nothing. You put in different pitchers and players each inning and see how they perform, no matter the score or the situation, which is exactly what the Chicago White Sox did in their game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. I watched the contest on MLB.com, and the starting pitcher did not get out of the first inning, having given up 4 runs. Pretty soon they were behind 7 to nothing, but came back strong, and lost the game by only one run. Plus, it was a split squad, meaning that half the team was playing a game somewhere else. It won't be until the last few spring training games that the team will actually concentrate on winning, and so I am definitely not worried - yet. And as for the above photograph of Denver's Coors Field, it is a reminder that Opening Day there is a mere 5 weeks away. Spring is here at last!
