The Red Sox and A’s have just finished a two-game series in Japan. This is the 3rd time that Major League Baseball has done this. The two previous times was in 2000 with the Mets and the Cubs, then again in 2004 with the Yankees and the Rays. Both of those series were splits, just […]

I wish we could save this weather for Opening Day….
Oh… how I love spring time in Baltimore. I used to refer to it as “the trilogy”: Opening Day, Preakness, and the College Lacrosse Final Four (when it was in town).
Speaking of Preakness… the Florida Derby is this Saturday, which marks the real countdown to the […]

Opening day is less than one week away. There are still several questions that need answering, like who is the fifth starer, who will start at shortstop, and what will the bullpen look like. My question is what is taking so long? Now, I have a good deal of respect for what Dave Trembley has […]

Here it is folks. At least this is my guess. And of course IF there is no Brian Roberts/ Jay Payton trade… your 2008 Baltimore Orioles Baseball Club (I think):
Starting Rotation (5) :
Guthrie(r), Trachsel (r), Cabrera (r), Loewen (l), Albers(r)
Bullpen (7) :
Burres (l) - longman
Aquino (r), Bierd (r), Sarfate (r) - middle relief
Walker (l), […]

I want to apologize for two egregious grammatical errors in a recent blog. There is no excuse for the failure to proof read, and I apologize. Yes… after almost two decades of school, I know the difference between “your” and “you’re” as well as “and” and “a”….Mea culpa….
Like a ball player who has tested positive for […]

You know you have a gambling problem if you’re filling out and Womens N.I.T. bracket.
When you take a step back and think about the Terps this season… they had 6 freshman and played 3 sophomores. So with those guys coming back and with the guys coming in… again… next year could be very interesting.
Adam Loewen… […]

Here we go… the brackets are set. The teams are ready. Let the fun begin. My guess is that more people call in sick Thursday and Friday this week than any other days in the year.
I guess it is nice that it is my job to watch the tournament… And I’m not rubbing it in.
I […]

With all that is going on in the world of sports did anyone even notice? I mean, because no one is really talking about it. You see a headline … hear a one-liner … it finishes the sports on the news. The Houston Rockets have won 22 straight games. In case you didn’t notice, the […]

“And now it’s all over.” To quote my favorite line from one of my favorite movies, Goodfellas, it is essentially over for the Terps. Gary Williams did say yesterday the team will accept an NIT bid, much to my chagrin.
It was a strange 2007-2008 campaign for Maryland. Last night’s loss was a microcosm of the whole thing. It […]

I live downtown and have to drive up I-83 to get to the studio everyday. For some reason it hit me today like a ton of bricks!!!! Heading to the studio I see a […]
