Just to wanted to post a few things on today's games at 1:05 for those who were interested.

Baltimore Vs. Washington

The Orioles will head to Viera, Fla., on Thursday at 1:05 p.m. ET, and they'll start Bruce Chen against Washington's Ramon Ortiz. Cory Morris, John Halama and Tim Byrdak also are expected to pitch for Baltimore.

Boston Vs Twins

The Twins will host their Fort Myers neighbors, the Boston Red Sox, for a 12:05 p.m. CT game on Thursday. Kyle Lohse will get the start and face off against Boston's Matt Clement.

Reds Vs Pirates

The Pirates host Cincinnati on Thursday in a 1:05 p.m. ET game at Pirate City in Bradenton. Southpaw Paul Maholm will get the ball for the Pirates against Reds lefty Dave Williams. In his last outing March 18, in a split-squad game also against the Reds, Maholm allowed just one run on two hits and struck out two in five innings

Indians VS Braves

CC Vs John Thomson

Phillies VS Detroit

The big-league club returns to action Thursday against the Phillies at 1:05 p.m. ET at Joker Marchant Stadium. Justin Verlander will make the start, with Joel Zumaya now scheduled to follow him in relief. Both remain in the competition for the fifth spot in the rotation, according to Leyland.

Robinson Tejeda makes his first start of the spring on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers at 1:05 p.m. ET, giving the Phillies more time to properly evaluate him. He had been promised a fair shot to make the team after pitching for the Domincan Republic in the World Baseball Classic. Ryan Madson, who would normally take that spot, is scheduled to pitch in a Minor League game.

Cards VS Dodgers

Weather report: The weather could turn a little dicey on Thursday, for the first time in weeks. The forecast high in Vero Beach is 77 degrees, with clouds throughout the day and a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms.

Jae Seo makes his Dodgers debut Thursday against St. Louis. Also scheduled to pitch are Houlton and Broxton. Jeff Suppan, Braden Looper, Josh Hancock, Brian Falkenborg and Matt Smith are scheduled for the Cardinals

I did well, I am a streaky player and a dog player so my goal is always to finish right around .500 or of course better. I like bases because you can have a losing record and still make good money.....I also like umpire players and looking at the weather.....for those who don't get into bases I suggest you try it and you will be hooked...
