Yes, it’s a miserable Friday.
But that’s the whole thing – it’s Friday. And it’s raining, not snowing.
In fact, this rain is going to help wash away a lot of that snow.
It’s supposed to rain much of the day before turning colder tonight.
But there is another reason I have spring on the brain today.
The Phillies are playing baseball. Real, live baseball.
The Phils kicked off their spring season yesterday with an 8-0 win over Florida State. Ryan Howard got things started with a double in the first inning to drive in a couple of runs. Where was that four months ago? Just kidding, Ryan.

The Phils open up their Grapefruit League schedule on Saturday against the Yankees.
Could it be a sign of things to come? Is it possible these two sets of pinstripes could face one another again seven months from now in the Fall Classic?
Doesn’t really matter. What does matter is that baseball is back.
The Boys of Summer? Well, that's a couple of months away. But just the sight of the Phillies playing makes this boy who is longing for summer think we may just have survived another miserable winter.
