play ball---almost

Lefty Joe Savery, first-round pick in the 2007 draft, will start for the Phillies tonight in their exhibition game with Florida State University. Spring training games open officially tomorrow, when the Phils face the Cincinnati Reds, one of a couple teams rumored to be moving their spring training camp to Arizona. Best of all, the game will be broadcast on the radio! Boring as spring training games are, it will be a treat to listen to baseball as I toil over a hot keyboard. The Phillies will broadcast a total of 26 games from spring training, including 4 on television and 22 split between radio and the Internet. The first TV broadcast will be the March 1 game with the Yankees.
