Tigers 4, Blue Jays 0; Miguel Cabrera presumably off his tits

"Florida Auto Exchange Field of Dreams" would be nicer
Conventional wisdom on spring training is that you spend all winter being like come on come on come on spring training, and then once it gets here, for the first week of it you're like come on come on come on let's get some games going, and then as soon as the games start, you're like come on come on come on let's get to the regular season already this is nonsense.  There is I guess a degree of truth to that, but actually spring training games are kind of awesome.  Take today's Grapefruit League debut for both the Blue Jays and the Tigers, a 4-0 Tigers win. Pretty unremarkable, right? You look at the box score with nobody doing anything particularly cool: no home runs, no triples, everybody pitched fine (except Jesse Carlson I guess) but not like a million Ks or anything.  But exactly fifty people played today.  Fifty!  In a baseball game! Isn't that a lot? Also there were two double plays and even though I am now almost thirty-two years old, I find literally every double play to be neat.  Literally every one. Also, look at Brett Cecil's cool glasses:

See?  A fine start to the season boys, keep it up.

  1. Leyland can't even look that idiot in the eye.

    Also, I assume that Miguel drank a 40 of King Cobra to celebrate the score of the game.
