*'april in the d' is the creation of the fox sports tv network (trademarked in advance of april 2013) to promote the fact that three of the four major sports leagues are all playing at the same time (and of course frequently being broadcast on said network); two of them at the end of the regular season and (hopefully) the beginning of playoffs, one just beginning its season.
i'm personally enjoying april in the p (hmmm...maybe needs revision) [or not enjoying -- too chilly!] in body whilst enjoying both in spirit.
*it was also a pretty remarkable night for pittsburgh -- the pirates finished off a season-opening three-game sweep of their long-time rivals, whom they have been neck and neck with in the division race for the past several years, the cardinals of saint louis.
