Today, in addition to marking the seventh day of our not giving a shit about winter sports, the Olympics' schedule of events\u2014dominated by curling, dotted with hockey, and occasionally punctuated by biathlons\u2014happens to coincide with the second day of baseball's Spring Training, irrevocably reminding us of more temperate pursuits. By day's end, pitchers and catchers from more than half of MLB's clubs will have arrived at their respective facilities, in Florida and Arizona, I imagine slightly overweight and possibly battling a hangover. So, will these diamond heroes be able to shape up in time for the season? Ha! This is baseball, folks. They're already in midseason form!\n\n \u2014RAFI KOHAN"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
