Not many national baseball analysts are picking the Orioles to return to the playoffs, let alone finish first in the big, bad A.L. East this season. But one prominent MLB reporter believes the Orioles will take the division. “I'm picking the Baltimore Orioles to win,” ESPN's Buster Olney said on his "Baseball Tonight" podcast . Olney, once an Orioles scribe here at The Baltimore Sun , pointed to the team's pitching depth as one of the main reasons why he likes their chances.

Burgers, fries, nachos, pizza. Camden Yards is still offering lots of tasty - but high calorie and fatty -- foods to please visitors, according to Alison Massey, a dietitian at Mercy Medical Center , who took stock on Opening Day. But she said careful eaters can get away without doing too much damage. “I had a turkey burger, which is probably the best among the meat choices,” she said. “I saw sunflower seeds and peanuts, and they're good too because they contain protein.

Along the brick streets of Annapolis' historic downtown this week, public works employee Kevin Brown deployed the newest weapon in the city's arsenal. Steam arose from beneath the brass bristles of Brown's contraption as it pulverized the dark, sticky smears flecking the sidewalk at the corner of Main and Francis streets. Now that Annapolis has emerged from a budget crisis, Mayor Joshua Cohen said, he has focused attention on beautification efforts, including a new website for reporting problems with city service and a $17,000 investment in a "gum buster" that Brown used to eradicate chewing gum from bricks in the historic district.

There are a couple of ways of looking at the athletic contest last Thursday night in Las Vegas laughingly referred to as a world heavyweight championship bout:1. Not at all.2. With restraint.If you favor No. 1, class dismissed.Now, there are still two ways at looking at what transpired between Evander Holyfield and Buster Douglas:First, we could come down genuinely hard on ex-champion Douglas, who showed up looking like Br'er Bear fatted up sufficiently to head for a long winter's hibernation.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Even as Marylanders lament the loss of stakes races in their state, two Maryland horses vanned to New York and swept the stakes yesterday at Belmont Park. Stabled at Tapeta Farm in Cecil County, Fleet Renee reaffirmed her status as one of the country's leading 3-year-old fillies with a near-record performance in the Grade I, $250,000 Mother Goose Stakes. Her time of 1 minute, 47.19 seconds for 1 1/8 miles was the second fastest in 45 runnings of the race. Michael Dickinson trains the daughter of Seattle Slew at his farm near North East.

In December, PBS President Pat Mitchell predicted in a routine speech that 2005 would be a transformational year for public broadcasting. She couldn't have known that an animated rabbit would become an agent of change. Yet Postcards From Buster, a gentle children's program that was to have shown a real-life Vermont family with lesbian mothers in one episode, has in some quarters emerged as a powerful symbol of what's wrong with PBS these days. And for once, it's not the attacks from the right that rankle.

WASHINGTON -- Boxing trainers everywhere owe a huge deb of gratitude to James "Buster" Douglas.Were it not for Douglas thumping Mike Tyson as an infinity-to-1 underdog in Japan a few years ago, favored fighters would have continued to pose problems as far as hard work is concerned during training camp."

As I write this, I could swear I hear celebrity TV chef Gordon Ramsay's voice bellowing down 36th Street from Café Hon, 1002 W. 36th St. The host of Fox's "Kitchen Nightmares" is in town with a crew to give the longstanding Hampden eatery a going over for an upcoming episode. I admit, I generally don't watch the show. My tastes run more toward "Top Chef" and "No Reservations," but I am looking forward to this installment airing. Mostly, I'm curious if Café Hon owner Denise Whiting will be the first subject of the show to make the host break down instead of vice versa.

TCU can't get to the Big East fast enough. The Horned Frogs leave the Mountain West next season, which is looking good after their 50-48 loss to Baylor on Friday. If they were in the Big East this season, they'd still have a shot at a BCS bowl. The Big East should reconsider Villanova as a potential member. The FCS Wildcats have been mentioned as a possible addition, but after their 42-7 loss to Temple on Thursday, maybe Big East officials should rethink that. Don't mess with success.

Buster's Daydream, the outstanding 2-year-old stabled at Laurel Park, has gone on extended vacation and won't race again until next year, said his trainer, Tim Tullock Jr. Since finishing fourth Aug. 18 as the 1-5 favorite in the Ellis Park Juvenile Stakes in Kentucky, the son of Housebuster has trained listlessly, the trainer said. The colt has not eaten well, and his coat has turned dull. "He's just a tired colt," Tullock said. "He's asking for a break." Tullock said that Buster's Daydream, a multiple graded-stakes winner, would spend a couple of months on a Pennsylvania farm before returning to training for his 3-year-old season.

Here at Baltimore Sports Blitz, it’s all Bundy, all the time. Well, at least for the rest of the week. But I’m sure you don’t mind me passing along more information on Orioles first-round draft pick Dylan Bundy, a high school pitcher out of Oklahoma that ESPN’s Buster Olney believes was the best prospect in the 2011 draft. “In the eyes of a lot of the scouting directors and general managers around baseball, the best player in the draft was Dylan Bundy,” Olney said in an appearance on “The Scott Van Pelt Show” on Wednesday . “I had one general manager actually say to me that Dylan Bundy, in his eyes, is the best pitching prospect that he has ever seen,” Olney said.

Belmont has the horses Chris Dufresne Los Angeles Times Let's start in the Southeast Region, with No. 13 Belmont over No. 4 Wisconsin? Belmont has sort of a Butler "look" this year. The Bruins are 30-4 and play an up-tempo style that utilizes waves of players. Wisconsin seems ripe for an upset after scoring 33 points in a Big Ten tournament loss to Penn State. I also like, slightly less, in the same region, No.11 Gonzaga over No. 6 St. John's. The Zags are playing their best ball of the season while St. John's enters the tournament wounded without D.J. Kennedy.
