Angelos in town

Orioles owner Peter Angelos is attending today's game at Roger Dean Stadium after stopping in Sarasota to look at the possible site of a new spring training facility. The Orioles have been tight-lipped about the training camp situation since negotiations with Sarasota hit a speed-bump a couple of months ago, but those talks obviously have resumed and are moving forward.

Angelos said he will also visit City of Palms Park in Fort Myers tomorrow, while the Orioles are on that side of the state to play the Minnesota Twins. The Twins play in a different facility, but the Red Sox stadium is little more than 15 minutes away.

I'll have more from Angelos in my next post and in the Sports section.

I wish the O's would look at Arizona for a spring training site,,with another team like the Dodgers/White Sox and Indians/Reds just opened. They are beautiful facilities and very large. You might be surprised how attendance would be out here. I go to Phoenix every year for a week to see 5 or 6 games from Las Vegas and see many O.s fans.

What's a Sports section?

About Peter Schmuck
Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
