Today is a great day!!
Today is the first day of the new baseball season when Pitchers and Catchers report.
It is almost like the you can feel the winter coming to an end (in spite of yesterdays rain and snow) and a warm breeze is blowing in your face. It is the smell in the air, and the pop as a ball hits a mitt.
Pitchers and Catchers reporting has a magically sound to the ears. Like birds singing this morning in the back yard, since they too must know that spring is almost sprung. All teams start today with an equal chance, a clean record, last year removed from memory, and just like spring itself, they are ready to bloom anew.
Everything is fresh and clean, with no scent of scandal. No more football, no HGH, no more salary arbitration or free agent signings, and no more hypodermic needles in a bag. The steroid hearings are happening in Washington DC, and it doesn't matter. Pitchers and Catchers report today and everything is going to be alright again since baseball is now back.
Today is a great day!!

I don't like baseball so much myself, but I have the same feeling of hopeful optimism every time a new season of "Project Runway" starts on Bravo...
