Players aren't required to report to the ballpark today until noon. I saw Matt Wieters and Cesar Izturis eating breakfast with third base coach Gary Allenson. It's a little slow around here. I forgot to mention last night that Adam Jones won't start today. Manager Buck Showalter wants to rest him for a few days, including tomorrow, when we have an open date on the schedule before the six-game road trip that begins Tuesday in Chicago and continues into Anaheim. Jones is 0-for-16 since his 3-for-5 game against the Mariners. "He's been a rock. He's a post-up guy," Showalter said after yesterday's game. "He doesn't know it yet, but he will." Corey Patterson will start today, perhaps in left field, with Felix Pie shifting to center. Here's the Orioles lineup, which includes the above-mentioned alignment: Brian Roberts 2B Nick Markakis RF Ty Wigginton 1B Luke Scott DH Corey Patterson LF Felix Pie CF Matt Wieters C Cesar Izturis SS Josh Bell 3B Kevin Millwood RHP Here's the Rangers lineup: Andrus SS Young 3B Hamilton LF Guerrero DH Murphy RF Moreland 1B Teagarden C Blanco 2B Borbon CF Hunter RHP
