And I am sure the free advertising is good for the local business that supplies the pies.

Is Mr. Knowles against small business?

Is Mr. Knowles a communist?

I'm pretty sure Mr. Knowles is just from..... Severna Park, those party animal - fun-lovers out there.

ahem.....

Boy, do I agree with today's letter to the editor, David Knowles of Severna Park. I have been on this bandwagon for months and I too am sick of seeing Adam Jones pieing an Oriole who is being interviewed post game.

To quote from his letter "....Adam Jones finds it necessary to steal their moment in the spotlight by throwing a pie in their face....He is making it about himself....it is a childish prank that was amusing the first few times..."

Congratulations to Mr. Knowles for telling it like it is even though it is sacrilege and absolutely not permitted to ever criticize Adam Jones in this town.

Judging by your 50 posts in over two years, I'm going to go out on a limb and say you haven't read much of this site, even as recently as the beginning of this season, have you?

    • I didn't think that was a homer off the bat.  I thought he got under it a little and that since it was going out to the Wall, there wasn't much of a chance -if any- that it was going to get out of the park. That's one of the more impressive things you'll ever see.  
    • The Orioles have to face two opponents every night:  the other team and the home plate umpire.    Tonight Thornton was able to retire Jordan Westburg without ever throwing a strike, because he got strike one called on a pitch 6 inches off the outside corner, got strike two on a phantom foul tip and forced Westburg to chase strike three.  Mullins and Rutschman were also put in the hole by terrible strike one calls in the ninth.  We are systematically disadvantaged on ball/strike calls.  My theory is that the umpires have had it in for the Orioles ever since Roberto Alomar spit on John Hirshbeck and Peter Angelos refused to discipline Alomar.   Maybe my explanation is wrong, but the fact is that the Orioles have one of the highest number of expected runs taken away from them by missed balls and strikes.   The robot umps can't come soon enough.

    • Another good outing from the kid.  He’s pitching remarkable considering the run scoring environment in AAA.
    • Had a great spring, now hitting .271/.920 at Norfolk. Could he possibly be worse than Mullins? How much longer can we afford to carry Mullins producing zero offense? Any reports on the defense? When he came up with Cleveland he did not play CF but they had Myles Straw there. 
    • LHB have an .825 OPS against Munoz, RHB .247.
    • Cosign. Mateo is the better offensive player right now and Mullins is unplayable outside his defense. Cowser needs to start more in CF he looked ok the other day. Stowers did make ok contact pinch hitting for Mateo, but I would have preferred to see him or Mountcastle for Mullins to start the inning.
