Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Sunday he believed his team's toughest game of their six-game road trip would be Monday's series opener in Toronto. Monday's 1 p.m. game will be the team's third straight afternoon game - a rarity. And it's also unheard of that you come into a new city and play the first game of the series during the day. Sometime uncommon can lead to uncomfortable. But truly the test is replacing the atmosphere and excitement of this weekend's three games at Yankee Stadium with the antisceptic north-of-the-border feel of the Rogers Center.

About 48 hours ago, I wrote on this blog that the Orioles' weekend series against the Blue Jays in Toronto was more pivotal than the Yankees' sweep of the Birds earlier this week. For them to talk about marked improvements in this team, they first had to show they could beat the Jays at the Rogers Centre, a place where the Orioles have lost 29 of their last 34 coming into the series. You have to give the Orioles credit. They were down in the late innings both Friday and Saturday, only to provide some eighth and ninth inning heroics to take the first two games of the series against the Blue Jays.

Current plans call for the movie version of the Broadway hit Hair- spray to be filmed in both Baltimore and Toronto, an executive with New Line Cinema confirmed yesterday. "It is our intention to shoot in Baltimore and Toronto," said Mark Kaufman, an executive vice president with New Line. "It could be a day in Baltimore, it could be a week in Baltimore. ... That has been our intention from the start." He said details of the film's budget, which will dictate where Hairspray will be shot, are being worked out. Open auditions for several roles in the film will be held nationwide beginning next month in Atlanta.

After getting swept by the New York Yankees this week to end Baltimore's season-opening, six-game homestand, the Orioles need to get away, right? Maybe not. The Orioles will open their first road trip of the season - a three-city, 10-game swing - in the House of Horrors that's otherwise known as the Rogers Centre. Maybe the ghost of Cito Gaston still haunts the O's. Maybe it's years of lingering hangover from the end of the 1989 “Why Not?” season. Whatever it is, the Orioles have been horrible north of the border.

The Orioles haven’t won a game in Toronto in 22 months, a crazy road losing skid that continued Tuesday night when the Blue Jays won in extra innings, 6-5, on Adam Lind’s walk-off home run. Of course, the Blue Jays have had their number at Camden Yards, too, but the losses at Rogers Centre have become automatic. " We have had our struggles for a while . Period," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "We don't look at some place [being tough to play at]. Our guys, other than going through customs here, enjoy playing here.
