This is, what, a month old now? But seeing as pitchers and catchers report in about, oh, 7 weeks, it's time to look at the 2005 spring training schedule for the Diamondbacks and maybe even start thinking about a spring training blogging get-together.

As for a get-together, midday games during the week are bad, and I'm not really interested in driving down to Tucson for a spring training game. That leaves the following options:

Su 3/13 @ 1, Maryvale -- Brewers (ss)
Su 3/13 @ 1, Phoenix -- A's (ss)
Sa 3/19 @ 1, Peoria -- Mariners
Fr 3/25 @ 7, Surprise -- Rangers
Sa 3/26 @ 1, Peoria -- Padres
… and possibly the Red Sox games, which I'm assuming will be at night

Of that list, I'm probably most interested in the Padres game, with perhaps the Mariners game #2.

So how about it, anybody want to circle March 26th on their calendar in pencil?
