It's the return of Fake Games!

It's the Jays versus the Yankees at 1:05 today, kicking off this year's slate of totally insignificant Fake Spring Training Games!

Let's all gather to hang off of every pitch! Let's follow along with Blair and Bastian (presumably on their Twitter pages) so that we can imbue every at bat with meaning!

The whingeing and fretting and gnashing of teeth for 2009 begins in just a few hours!

And if Brett Cecil has a good outing, then this first game means everything. He's sure to translate a great spring performance into the type of lasting Major League career not seen since Simon Pond or Gabe Gross.

Richmond appears to have done quite well this afternoon against the Phillies. He said he was just trying to throw strikes & not trying to be "too fine." I say go with it! Wouldn't mind seeing him round out the rotation admirably this year.
