Nice time if you’re a pitcher in the NL

That wasn't a Super Bowl, that was a three-hour "legacy" break.Legacy this, legacy that. Quarterbacks, coaches, teams - all of ita complete joke, given that legacy is properly bestowed inretrospect. I guess that's what happens when you have two dreadfully dullweeks to kill - Brady! No, Montana! Whoa, Eli! - but there is hopeon the way. Out on the Arizona desert, hard by the cactus trees andthe tumblin' tumbleweeds, major-league equipment trucks bear thetools of spring. They're rolling down the highway as we speak, andit won't be long before the pitchers pitch and the catcherscatch. There will be plenty of time to address the A's and theirpreposterous attempt to compete with a vacant roster. We speaktoday of the National League, 2012 version, and why the Giants fit so nicely into thelandscape.
