  1. D L  pitched  3.1 innings for Brewers today. Started.  2 ER,  3K, 3B, 2H

    Ortiz entered in 7th. Hit a ball on the screws, but right at the left fielder.

    Bottom at SS he made an nice defensive play, grabbing a smash in the hole and throwing out runner at first. LA announcers complimented him on the play.

  2. Let’s hope Bautista has consulted with his agent, doctor’s, lawyers and union reps and get their opinion on his arm. There is no advantage to him to try throwing again if there is any possible chance of further injury. He has shown what he can do when healthy. He could cost himself millions. He does not owe the Orioles or their fans any possibility of further injury. This is a business and he needs to protect his equity. Let’s hope he has done due diligence for Felix Bautista

  3. Did anybody ask Moose, the one about whom this discussion is centered, how he voted? I'm betting he voted for #4.  A degree in Economics in 3.5 years from Stanford, $144 million in earnings, HOF occupational career, living where he wants to live and not having to kowtow to anyone.  If he wanted a statue, he could have one put in his back yard and look at it every day. He is the envy of many folks. You don't respect or want me? Ok, take this job and shove it.  (might be a song in there somewhere if someone could take those words and put them to music.

    Neither of those, either.

    I have no personal gripe with the Ravens, but their arrival 100% knocked the Orioles out as the city’s true sports love. Just what football does.

    I ‘ ve been a Baltimore sports fan since 1953, and football has always been first. Maybe because the colts got good first, but they were always ahead of the Os in fan interest and support. Even in the glory years of 1966 to 1983, the Os were drawing  at most 1.5 M per. Memorial stadium was always packed for football. Os attendance and interest really shot up when the colts left town.  Baltimore was a blue collar,  football kind of town.
