Spring Training begins soon, and we’ll see how my Baltimore Orioles will do. Competing in the AL East, probably MLB’s toughest division isn’t easy when you have 18 games a season each with the Yankees, Red Sox, Rays, And Blue Jays, teams with some of the game’s best players ( Jeter, Ortiz, Longoria, Bautista among them) . But the O’s aren’t bad either. Can Chris Davis have another monster season? Can Tommy Hunter succeed as the closer? Who will be the last starter after Chris Tillman, Miguel Gonzalez, Wei-Yin Chen, and Bud Norris? Will they be able to resign Matt Weiters and JJ Hardy before they hit free agency next year? And several other questions…
This episode in a Utah elementary school, where several students had their lunches taken away from them and thrown away because their accounts were low or at negative balance could have been handled better on both sides. First off, perhaps the lunch line could be rearranged, with the students having their cards checked to see if they had enough funds on them. We know that it’s policy that the food had to be thrown away, as unseemly as it looks. And on the kids/parents side, did they really need to go on TV?
