I just heard a Phillies intern say, "It looks like it's going to rain for a while."

First things first: down here in Florida, we know the good folks back home in the greater Philadelphia area have little (zero?) sympathy for us folks at Spring Training. But here's the truth: it's been pretty miserable here.

This is Day 15 for me. I'd say there have been maybe four nice days. People are calling it the coldest winter in the Tampa area in 50 years. I believe it.

And today the crummy weather is throwing off the Phils' workout schedule.

"Not today," is how J.C. Romero responded to me when I braved the raindrops to venture out and find the team jogging off the field after a pre-workout catch.

Romero had been scheduled to throw a bullpen session today... it would have been the first time he threw off the mound since elbow surgery in October.

He'll try again tomorrow. Weather permitting, of course...
