Orioles: Sherrill sore
Just got a heads-up from Orioles beat writer Jeff Zrebiec that closer George Sherrill has had his activities restricted because of a mild hamstring strain. He's still able to throw, but is being held out of some conditioning drills to let his leg calm down.
In other non-serious injury news:
Pitcher Mark Hendrickson has been dealing with some hip soreness.
Reliever Kam Mickolio had to leave the field with a groin strain. He's obviously day to day, as are the rest of us.
Non-roster right-hander Scott Chiasson was held out of today's workout because he was ill.

Pete, Be careful you do not hurt your elbow ironing all those fancy aloha shirts!

Groin strains can nag forever if not properly rested. If it gets exacerbated into a fullblown groin pull, then it will wash out his season pretty much. Better to treat it proper today than make it into something.

Pete,
I've always had another question but was afraid to ask. How do you feel if your readers read Roch's blog at MASN also? And vice-versa? Are we lesser Schmuckians? Or lesser Roch-ites? It's alright, right?
I believe you two are friends..but you might wanna ask him about the Schmuckian vs. Rochite protocol to prevent a virtual war.

Pete's reply: I have no problem with everyone reading both blogs. There will be some overlap, because we're in the same place right now, but you get a different viewpoint from each.

Peter:
Have the Orioles lifted their restrictions on ONLY letting their players and personnel do interviews with the Flagship station? I asked this question based on your interviews on WBAL spring training show? I try to listen every night and the only problem is, one hour is too short. But I understand you need a break from a long day. Keep up the good work.
...............................................................................................
Pete's reply: No, there is no restriction on interviewing players and team personnel. The restriction is on live studio interviews and going live from spring training if you're not a rightsholder.

Peter,
The Orioles pitching situation is like cable TV at 4am. There is nothing worth watching no matter how stations you have.

Hey Pete, just watch the one armed hot dog curls. They've been known to end more than one blogging career...what's that? oh nevermind it's only been one, so far.

Pete--Sherrill strained his hamstring last spring, too.
I'm putting him down for a hamstring strain in February 2010.
