Gee, thanks, Raymond

Rather than try to add to his Tampa Bay Rays team ball, Colin wanted to hound the Baltimore Orioles before Thursday's game. As a result, I made a game-dated team sheet for him, trying out programs on our new computer and putting a new printer through its paces.

It was working well, too, as five members of the Orioles squad took the time to sign the team sheet: Jim Johnson, from left, third base coach Juan Samuel, Chris Tillman, Chad Mueller and bullpen coach Alan Dunn.

Then Raymond, the Tampa Bay Rays' mascot, stopped by. Needless to say, Raymond wasn't amused, as Colin, decked out in Rays gear, showed him the sheet. That's his big "X" crossing out the Orioles logo, as well as his autograph.
