I may be looking out my window at ice-covered roads right now, but down in Sarasota, Florida, Baltimore Orioles pitchers and catchers are officially reporting for spring training. A few quotes, hearing how new offseason workout regiments made players X, Y, and Z as fit as ever, and a few sunny photos will provide a moment of relief from the workday, but the excitement will quickly fade away.
The Orioles are still 11 days away from their first spring training game (still no word on any televised contests this year) and 44 days away from opening the season against the New York Yankees, but at least baseball is back, right?
