Tonight in a nutshell

The Orioles are taking just five pitchers to Port St. Lucie tonight. If things work out according to plan, Alfredo Simon will probably go five, followed by one inning from Jim Johnson, a couple from Brian Bass and then some late work for Dennis Sarfate and Chris Ray. Those are the only five pitchers listed on the travel roster. Radhames Liz had to be scratched because he was pressed into action Sunday, so it's possible somebody else will be on the bus in case of emergency.

Most of the starting position players will be on the trip, but Brian Roberts will get at least one more day off with some soreness on the left side of his lower back and Gregg Zaun is resting a sore elbow.

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.
