Official 2012 Countdown Until Opening Day

Can we get a countdown till opening day???

I have, including Friday, January 13th, 2012:

37 more days until pitchers and catchers report to spring training. (February 18th, 2012)

51 more days until spring training starts against the Cleveland Indians (March 3rd, 2012)

84 more days till Opening Day against the Miami Marlins. (April 5th, 2012)

I'm getting kind of antsy.

I think we should've waited until Sunday since Eddie Guardado has the highest uniform number in Reds history(?) with #81.

Last year's thread started with day 90, so I thought I was saving tradition by starting it before we got to uniform numbers
