Hello, friends.
Today marks two months to go until the next scheduled Orioles game, which is Opening Day. You’ve been able to buy tickets for a little while now. Whether a game is actually played at Camden Yards on that day is going to depend on the ownership-imposed lockout of MLB players being settled in time. It sure feels like time is running out to avoid some kind of delay. Spring training is supposed to begin two weeks from tomorrow. Hard to see that happening.
The rituals of a coming spring training are proceeding nonetheless. Late last week was Truck Day for the Orioles, where all of the equipment is loaded up in Baltimore and sent on a truck down to Sarasota.
