Time to shave those faces, boys

It's that most magical day, the day that so many of us have been waiting for for months. I don't speak of Valentine's Day, of course (Vale-what?). I speak of that happiest day for baseball fans--the day that pitchers and catchers report. Yes, it's the arrival of spring training, finally. It's been a crazy off-season for the O's, what with Tejada and Bedard being traded, and the still-present threat of my boy going to Chicago. But we'll now get a chance to see what those young'uns we got can do. Yay! And I'll see for myself next month, when I head down for a few days. I am, not surprisingly, super excited.

Also exciting is the fact that Dave Trembley has put some of the guys on notice for sporting facial hair when they arrived. Kudos to Trembley for the enforcement.
