39 Days In One Blog Post

SURPRISE, Ariz. --- As I spend my last day here in the land of the cactus and aging demographic, you know what I'm going to remember most about this year's spring training? It's the poster on the back wall of the garage of the house we're staying at.

It's a picture of a model-quality woman, wearing a well-placed marijuana leaf sticker and nothing else, her back to what looks like a human-sized joint. Across the bottom it says "Roll Over."

There's also a couple Playboy magazines in the bathroom downstairs (mind you, this is the bathroom your guests would use if you had them over) so maybe we here at the Ball Star Mansion shouldn't have been surprised when the cops showed up one day looking for the guy who owns the place.

I'll be back this afternoon with some thoughts on the team as camp breaks to Milwaukee tomorrow, but here's a quick rundown of the Ball Star spring training:

* Dayton Moore predicted a Royals championship and defended the sweater vest.

* I pointed you to risk-free gambling, and seriously, what more could you ever want?

* John Buck told a story that made Ball Star's male demographic cringe.

* If KCTV's Tracy Brogden Miller got hit in nads like John Buck, she would probably call it very uncool.

* Michael Schur talked about writing for "The Office," firejoemorgan.com, and the disappointing charm of Derek Jeter.

* You were invited to the First Annual Very Official Ball Star Over-Under Challenge.

* Rany Jazayerli copped to receiving Christmas cards from Jose Canseco.

* Chipotle is the breakfast (and lunch and dinner) of champions.

* Failed baseball prospect Wayne Gretzky showed up.

* Deadspin's Will Leitch said it's better to root for the Royals than the Cardinals right now.

* Brian Bannister showed again that he's smarter than you or me.

* We had our Roundtable

* Billy Butler recommended good barbecue.

* Jose Guillen has what scouts might call a plus arm.

* And, of course, Joey Gathright jumped, which made me scour YouTube for other wow moments, which made brilliant reader Llama scour better.
