Indeed. At last count, we are still 138 days from opening day.

Hey Scottie... can you put a countdown timer up at the top of the page? (There seems to be some room that nobody uses up in the upper-left, just underneath where it says "Orioles" in script.)

X2 It is beyond me how people think 29 is old. The Good Lord knows I wish I felt like I did at 29 once again, heck even 35.

I wish I felt like I did at 50.

Calm down. The two biggest trades are Tejada and Bedard. Tejada can't happen until Lowell, ARod and MCab sort themselves out. Bedard can't happen until an extension is offered and turned down. Now that Posada is signed Ramon might be the first to go, but FA can't even be talked to about money until tomorrow.

you meant today, they can talk money today.

So Lowell didn't sign a deal with the Blowsux?

[O no]

Not during the exclusive period, the market is open for him. Rumor has it he wants a 4 yr deal.
