Huff Daddy Rollin'; Guthrie Good: O's Down Fish, 4-2
Jeremy Guthrie finally appeared on the mound for the 2009 Baltimore Orioles this spring and had a good afternoon as the Baltimore Orioles downed the Florida Marlins, 4-2. Aubrey Huff was perfect at the plate, going 3-for-3 with three runs driven in, and Nick Markakis had two hits, both doubles. Baltimore scored twice in the first and third innings, and they got a lot of help from Jeremy Heremida who allowed two doubles to sail over his head.
Melvin Mora drove in the other run.

As we know with the current steroid scandal in baseball, drugs in sports has become a hot topic. This weekend, California governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger decried to use of performance enhancing drugs in sports... 
Former Oriole Kris Benson has finally found a new home in the deep heart of Texas. According to the Washington Post,

It looks like some heads will definitely roll in Washington D.C. not for anything political, related to the economy or for anything else other than yet another baseball scandal. It's going to be interesting how this team handles this situation considering the amount of money given to a prospect -- a whopping $1.4 million -- who suddenly aged four years and who is someone else all together. 
For Mariners fans, they got a dose of good news on Wednesday night as Ken Griffey -- a future Hall of Famer -- decided to return where his career began. 
After the entire circus of half truths, lies, deceptions and a really bad Razzie-like performance by Alex Rodriguez while facing the gauntlet by the the media, his teammate and perhaps the most important person on the Yankees -- Derek Jeter -- spoke his mind today. 
Another of the storylines heading into the season involves a player who many have come to love -- gregarious Adam Jones, the Orioles starting center fielder. 
It looks like the Baltimore Orioles and Brian Roberts are close to an extension. Well, at this point I pretty much surmised this was going to happen since the market has fallen, he's comfortable in Baltimore, one could assme he's on board now with the rebuilding and the team stuck with him throughout the Mitchell Report.
It's only been a few days, but so far it looks like Rich Hill will find a slot in the starting rotation when 2009 season starts unless he implodes. That much was noted yesterday by the Orioles.com Spencer Fordin on Monday, as it looks like they are confident in Hill's pedigree and stuff despite his well-documented struggles.

Everyone, let's give our congratulations to Jeremy Guthrie -- the newest member of Team USA -- who will be playing in the World Baseball Classic in March.
This weekend, Roy Oswalt spoke out against Alex Rodriguez, and for me it was kind of refreshing to hear. At this point, baseball is taken a punch in the face at least in the public eye with the vents of last week, and now for the sake of it's future and credibility in the public eye, something needs to change. "A-Rod's numbers shouldn't count for anything," Oswalt said in a phone interview with MLB.com. "I feel like he cheated me out of the game." 
Although most fans and the national media are curious if Matt Wieters will find himself in the majors; however, if the Orioles (mainly, Andy MacPhail) have their way the highly touted catcher will begin in 2009 in the minors (more than likely Triple-A, rather up in Baltimore).
Ah, to cap off a horrible week new-wise in baseball, former Oriole Larry Bigbie in the 
Ah, I guess there was a reason why the news of Alex Rodriguez's failed drug test was brought out when it was -- and now, the author of the now infamous Sports Illustrated article -- Selena Roberts -- has decided to move up the release of her book on Rodriguez up.
As the world knows, baseball has been rocked by a steroids scandal for the past few seasons -- however, it has reached a crescendo this week with Alex Rodriguez's admission of drug use and the saga of Miguel Tejada. 
It looks like former Oriole Miguel Tejada has had his day in court and took the easy way out. This has been a bad week -- can we just get to Spring Training already? From the Baltimore Sun: WASHINGTON - Former Orioles shortstop
