Then, realize the first leg of the Spring 2016 Trifecta has already occurred.

Things to add:

Kobe scoring 60 (in typical Kobe fashion) in his final game. Classic.

Bryce Harper’s 100th career home run… a grand slam, no doubt.

And, also locally… Caps win, Caps win.

Then, tonight:

Bumgarner-Kershaw for the second time already this season and Greinke-Shields in San Diego. Way to go, West Coast late games, way to go.

And in the heartland? A guy starting for the defending NL champions who’s about to turn 43 and looks more like a truck driver than an athlete?

Awesome.
