Pitchers and Catchers Report Today!

It is altogether fitting and proper that the day after Valentine's Day is also a day of love...for baseball fans. Pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training today, meaning there are only 44 days until Opening Day.

As a native Washingtonian, my favorite team is the Nationals, the team with the worst odds to win the World Series (Vegas says we are a 200 to 1 underdog). I don't think we will win the World Series, but I firmly believe the Nationals will impress people this year. I am going to predict a record of 78-84, putting us third in the NL East. I will revisit this prediction at the end of the season.

Also, this marks the Dicta's 200th post! As the kids like to say, w00t! It only took us 5 1/2 months to write posts 101-200, whereas writing posts 1-100 took almost two years.

N.B. I will not be posting quite as frequently, as I have (temporarily) taken on additional job duties. Being asked to work while at work? What a stupid idea! When am I supposed to pontificate?
