Tuesday Afternoon Diversion: George Carlin Gets Us Jonesing for Spring Training

Now that the Bears are done, the Blackhawks are treading water and the Bulls are doing surprisingly well, we can start to keep an eye on the calendar and see that pitchers and catchers are set to report to spring training in less than a month. And, as White Sox fans, we're stoked to see the South Siders tear the cover off in Arizona, only to get off to a slow start once the games count.

We told Kevin about one of our favorite George Carlin bits the other day, on the differences between baseball and football. It's a truly timeless bit.
