On the road, in the snow

Despite the fact that Atlanta is one of the warmer weather cities for April baseball, the Braves are spending much of the month on the road. The game in Denver was snowed out tonight.

It seems odd that schedulers would start the Marlins on the road in the Northeast and keep the Braves away from Turner Field for much of April. Guess MLB officials want a return to doubleheaders. Or they don't get the Weather Channel. Or they failed geography class.

Despite what the sportscaster on Atlanta's All-News 106.7 said today, the Braves do not return to Turner Field this Friday to take on the Tigers. That series is in Detroit. In Michigan. Up North.

The view from 222 will be of wide open spaces until April 29.
