No, not those games. I just did my recently-routine check of the baseball channels on XM Radio and, lo and behold, something has changed.
Over on XM 175, they are playing an old American League Championship Series game from 2002. And over on the channels which will carry games once they start? Commercials. But the screen of my receiver, on these channels, says this: “Feb 16, 2006: Spring Training.”
That’s next Thursday. My countdown begins in earnest, because the boys of Summer are about to start the pre-season.
Which means it’s time to put out the call. Live in the Portland area, more or less? Part of Red Sox Nation? Want to be able to post over on Almost Boston? Let me know.
Oh, and somebody check with Claudia’s about their television schedule for spring training games.
