From today's print editions:

Rays right-hander Andy Sonnanstine is being treated for an ear infection he got by listening to his iPod.
Seriously.
Sonnanstine said he fell asleep on the bus ride back from Sarasota on Friday wearing in-ear headphones (listening to the Killers’ Hot Fuss), which led to some clogged pores, which led to the infection.
The lesson for next time, he said, is either to take the headphones out before falling asleep, or at least listen to something more stimulating: “Linkin Park, maybe.”

And on another musical, um, note:

To kill some of the endless free time of spring training, a few Rays are banding together, gathering in a stadium storage area to make some loud, if not beautiful, music. Usually it's Josh Paul on electric guitar, Rocco Baldelli on bass guitar and Edwin Jackson on drums, though Eric Hinske has also sat in. Next? A singer, with Fernando Perez and Andy Sonnanstine the top candidates. "But we haven't had open auditions yet,'' Baldelli said.
