got to stage an informal workout inside tropicana field. i love this idea because it gives new comers like that young man there a chance to look around, get accustomed to things like the roof and the cat walk. he was traded from the rockies. he has never set foot inside. but there is pressure on him to perform not only defensively with the bat. he should be a 20-plus home run guy that will help the ray's line-up. but his numbers away from coor's field in denver raise a little concern. so he is anxious to prove the rays made the right choice. >> i really like the field. great group of guys so far. and it's really playing in a dome than outside. but the ball traveled well. and hopefully i can put up the numbers and stay healthy and be out there and i think my numbers will speak for themselves at the end of the year.

but the lightning goal scorers the last two night, brown, and victor headman, a defensive man. so that's not going to get it done. >> forget those losses. can we look ahead? are they in danger of losing ground? >> i like the logic, forget the losses. friday the lightning could be behind but it all evens out. >> all right. >> if they keep winning. >> exactly. >> thanks. i'm chris bosh. when i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung, it was serious. fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. treatment with xarelto . hey guys! hey, finally, somebody i can look up to... ...besides arnie. xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib,

problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there's limited information on how xarelto in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin, but the blood testing restrictions... don't get me started on that. i didn't have to. . nice pass. safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily p and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. p xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. r get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you know xarelto is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win.

with xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto ... ...was the right move for us.

>> it. is eventually it changes. but -- it. is but eventually it changes. there's some hope. here's here in florida. temperatures in the mid-50s for a lot of us right now. notice northern spots down to around 50 in crystal river and inverness. and it's 55 in st. pete and 54 in tampa. winds from the northwest between 10 to 15 miles per hour. and you can see a stronger breeze along the coasts, gusts up to 25 miles per hour at times. so it's definitely been breezy in spots today but not quite as windy as yesterday was overall. and now we are watching area of high pressure building in. this will help keep winds lighter over the coming days for us. and notice clear skies for the evening and with the lighter winds, that's really the recipe that we look for when we have a chilly night here in the tampa bay area. into tomorrow morning, a freeze is possible in the northern county, citrus and hernando. but we could see frost in other

off the windshield tomorrow morning. by the afternoon hour, beautiful blue skies, sunshine, dry air in place. so a beautiful day, just still a little cool. we only make it into the mid- 60s and then friday morning, really high pressure right on top of us. a chilly morning, not as cold, most of us in the 40s. and by friday afternoon, we see a little bit of a warm-up. we are still below average, only into the upper 60s. but compared to the last few days, with the lighter wind, it will feel comfortable. and here's the next front, this moves through on saturday, not going to be expecting rain along it, just a few clouds and fairly weak but what the front warming up anymore. it's going to be a little bit warm up. currently the jet stream on top of us, the huge trough in the eastern half of the country is keeping temperatures well below average pool. this weekend -- average. as we head into the weekend, warmer air moves into the west

the end of next week into next weekend. so we could see a significant warm-up then but that's a while away. until then though, expect temperatures in up ther 60s. this weekend, not looking bad for valentine's day, near 68 with mostly sunny skies. >> all right. thank you. if you're not planning to be in love this valentine's day, did you know there are natural foods that chemically react with your brain to give you similar feelings? it's true. 8 on your side has answers for you today. joining us now is the registered dietitian and nutritionist abigail. thank you for being here. you cover the bases. >> carbs are okay. >> okay. >> the thing is, the type of carbs you eat so, go for the complex carbs. and the amount. so when you sit down at a restaurant, you probably don't want to go for the whole bread basket. eat that in moderation. again, those are the simple carbs.

for breakfast, whole grain pasta, toast and peanut and nuts and nutbutters another thing that help you feel good. >> and berries are good for the mood. >> yes, they are nature's candy. love. that those are really good. drizzle those with dark chocolate for another mood boosting food. the great thing about those, they're really high in water and really good so they help fill you up and also give you antioxidents and. >> what about foods good for the mood? >> avocado. >> that's good. >> it's really, really good for you. so it's a healthy fat. the thing is, again with the stuff, it's moderation is the key. you don't want the whole avocado, a couple slices is good. practice moderation. >> and one food that does not help. >> yes. and this is so cliche, but the really high amounts of sugar.
