For winter's rains and ruins are over,
And all the season of snows and sins;
The days dividing lover and lover,
The light that loses, the night that wins;
And time remembered is grief forgotten,
And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
And in green underwood and cover
Blossom by blossom the spring begins.

                                             -Algernon Charles Swinburne

Pitchers and catchers are due to report at City of Palms Park in less than 24 hours.

No, this isn’t fantasy, it’s really happening. Spring is here at last.

What happens after that? It’s anyone’s guess. (I like Red’s predictions a helluva lot more than John Donovan‘s.) Let’s just enjoy the moment.

Papelbon is already there. Josh “Don’t Call Me Rocket” Beckett too. They’re big boys.

Foulkey’s there. And Trot. They’ve both got their work cut out for them. (But maybe Trot shouldn’t work too hard.)

Timlin and Tek made the cut. Congrats! Don’t get hurt.

Curt and Coco are ready to go-go. So are Papi and Yook.

Check Sox Blog regularly as spring training progresses, of course. But definitely also check out Mike F’s regular updates from Fort Myers on Sons of Sam Horn. You may remember Mike from this piece last spring:

"The sun is shining ... soft but cooling breezes prevail. Spring training has started, God is in heaven, and all is right with the world."

Even better Narragansett is back, just in time to have one as you watch the games. (Too bad so many of them are on in the afternoon.)

Baseball starts tomorrow. Bottoms up.
