This is it, kids. The offseason ends today. Tomorrow, in Tempe, the Angels will be back on the field playing live baseball. We all survived, and have earned our just rewards.
Welcome back, baseball. That means guys up to bat, guys on the mound, guys in the infield making plays, guys in the outfield making plays that the guys in the infield failed to make. It’s strikeouts and groundouts and home runs and more strikeouts and, eventually, Albert Pujols grounding into a double play. It’s near-comic misadventures that start in the 7th inning when the scrubs take over.
