Things that seem really important to many baseball fans right now that probably won’t in a little over a month when actual games start happening:

1. Whether Ryan Braun was exonerated “on a technicality” or because of a legit claim that scientific protocol was breached
2. #CopterGate
3. Pretty much everything besides actual baseball games happening

Sorry if you hoped I’d have my ire up about either of the first two things on that list. I don’t. I think sometimes the reactions and overreactions and backlash and counter-backlash and counter-counter-backlash to every bit of news that hits the Internet get so overwhelming that they numb me to any real thoughts or feelings I should be having about whatever actually happened.

Ryan Braun is an awesome baseball player. I like awesome baseball players and I’m excited that Braun will be playing a full season in 2012. I’m even more excited that on Tuesday I’ll be flying (coach, not chopper) to Port St. Lucie to see some other baseball players doing baseball stuff.
