6-1-2, baby!

I am actually giddy that the Dodgers have a 6-1-2 record in spring training as of this writing. I fully realize that spring training records have no meaning. I've known that since I was 11. But I can't help it, because of this: Dodger spring training records the last six years: 2011: 14-21 2010: 11-17 2009: 15-22 2008: 11-18 2007: 17-16 2006: 15-13 Total: 83-107 The Dodgers haven't had a winning record in spring training since 2007. When there is year after year of losing at the beginning of baseball, it tends to wear on you a little. It's natural. I think that's the reason why fans keep repeating "the records don't mean anything" every year. Because we all feel that panic a little. "Damn, lost again . ... Right, the records don't mean anything." So, yes, I'm pleased that the Dodgers are 6-1-2 right now, even if all the records go back to zero at the end of the month. This gets me particularly in the mood to show so...
