Assuming I can pull together a radio feed and an open thread while working well into my thirtieth hour of this week, I will open a Spring Training thread and we can all attempt some Spring Training play-by-play this afternoon, which is actually pretty hilarious.

I swear, it feels like a lifetime ago that baseball ended, and I can't WAIT to have it back. Even tune-up, fake, Spring baseball. It's BASEBALL!
The A's have already posted that Jesse Chavez is starting the game, but obviously, everyone is concerned with his catcher, who is slated to be John Jaso, who hasn't started a game since mid-summer.
