I don't get an east coast team training in AZ. It was much better when CLE was in Winter Haven.

As I recall, the decision to move (when the FL lease was up) was based on the fact that more teams were in AZ,  meaning more scheduling opportunities,  and the suspicion was that even more teams would join the westward exodus.  I haven't checked the count lately, but one thing can be said, the weather is more reliable in AZ.  The Indians were in Winter Haven because they lost their Homestead facility to Hurricane Andrew when it was brand new.   And maybe enough teams training out there will placate Las Vegas for a while until a franchise is lured into their web!

Man I can't wait for opening day!

(Next season. Seriously, this season can end now. We'll just try and get rid of Angelos as owner and take a mulligan on this one.)

Corn is a fine adjunct in beer.

And don't buy stale beer.

Hey, your O's have a really great offense this year!  His name is Manny Machado. ;)

Fixed that for you.  ;)

I've been an O's fan all my life, and this is the most frustrated I've been with them. We've had a good team for several years, but a stingy ownership (that makes millions off both the Nats and the O's exclusive cable deals...they aren't even on the basic packages, have to buy everything all the way South to NC.) that refuses to invest in the team has crippled us once again.

The best O’s game I’ve seen at that beautiful ballpark had Cal Ripken Jr and Ken Griffey Jr on the field together. They even made a play against each other: Ken fielded one of Cal’s pokes into the outfield.
