Today is my last day with the boys of summer… and it’s been an exciting week of Spring Training!

* I asked myself today…”What pro sport would I want to play - if given the opportunity” and I have to say MLB is where it’s at!   Yes - it is a grueling 162 game season, but the feel I got all week at O’s Spring Training was little league baseball- ALL GROWN UP!

* A few starters made the trip to Ft Myers today to take on DICE K and the Red Sox…Mora, Markakis, Huff, and Scott.  O’s lose (7-4) in the 7th (rain out)

* Jon Leicester - competing for that 5th spot in the rotation - did not win any brownie points today - he gave up 4 hits, 3 runs, 2 HR’s (1 to Manny and 1 to JD Drew)

* SHOUT OUT to Melvin Mora - RBI KING of this Spring Training - add 2 more today to his total of 11

* Adam Loewen had to cut off the blond locks today… which he seemed more concerned about than his sore shoulder

* Pigskin Talk with Jay Payton today… if he had to put together a team to take on the Ravens from the O’s roster - he would have Jeremy Guthrie at QB (i’m thinking he might even beat out Kyle), Adam Jones and Nick Markakis at WR, B Rob at slot (our own Wes Welker), D Cab at TE, and of course Millar at center… Jay said he would have to carry the rock at RB!  I would love to see that game be played!

* Adam Jones gave me a Wii tip today - if you have the”Fabulous Four” game… use both nunchucks, pound them both down as hard as you can - and all the bad guys blow up!

* Interviewed B Rob today… possibly the last time I will talk to him in an O’s uni… pretty sad, but I wish him the best and if that means playing for a team that has a better opportunity to make it to the Series - then so be it.

 I begin my vacation at 6pm this evening… and back in B-more Monday, March 24th.

Marks Out!
