Baseball: it's on the TV

Watching Spring Training baseball is a little silly: we're rarely aware of team or player goals, so we can't evaluate their success. But when a team has had such a radical remodelling as the Jays' this offseason, as fans we can't help but be desperate to see them in action.

Today at 1:05, the Jays face off against the Phillies. It's a great game for new-Jay spotting: R.A. Dickey will start, followed by Josh Johnson a handful of innings later. The game will be televised, radioized and internetized, so tune in whatever way floats your boat. I'll see if I can convince my kids to watch with me. Maybe I'll bribe them with chips or popcorn.

Shameless self promotion alert: I have created a deliberately terrible and impossible fantasy baseball league. While I have enough teams to run it right now, I feel that it will be even more terrible and impossible if we have a ridiculously large number of owners. If you'd like to play in a fantasy league where you score zero points for the week unless you're carrying at least one injured player, and where Hit By Pitch is a major offensive category, click on my name to drop me a line and I'll add you.
