For the love of God, let Spring be around the corner. Having survived Snowpocalypse II it appears that Baltimore is in store for Snowpocalypse III: The Quickening Tuesday into Wednesday. Seriously, another 12 inches of snow with local amounts approaching 20?! The Hell nature? Seriously.

Baltimore City officials have stated that they may not "...get to some [sidestreets] for many days..." one of those streets is most certainly my street with four foot snow drifts blocking all cars. The city has actually asked that people start digging out themselves, as some Baltimore neighborhoods have very tiny streets that no plow can get through. Now more snow?

Only ten days until spring training. God I can't wait for Spring at this point. The Super Bowl is over, congrats to the Saints by the way you made me look smart; I should have taken all those bets, so now it is time to think baseball again.

My potential opening day lineup and rotation:

There really shouldn't be anything very shocking in there. And of course this is not much more than the ravings of a lunatic suffering from the beginnings of cabin fever but I think that this is the likely lineup for the start of the season. I could see Tejada in the two-spot and Jones batting sixth but that top three worked very well together for most of the year so why mess with what was working? Reimold gets to start in the clean-up spot with Wieters backing him up. Frankly this is six of one - half'a'dozen of the other. Reimold is a right handed-bat to bat behind Markakis and the switch-hitting Wieters should disrupt the weirdly huge amount of left-handed pitchers that Markakis had to face in 2009. The high average Tejada batting behind Scott may help him get better pitches to hit and keep him from season dumping slumps that plagued him in 2009. Izzy is where he needs to be and Atkins is the hole, until he proves otherwise.

What say you internet?
