Sun: Buck Showalter is safe

[weams]

Buck Showalter... wife Angela...son Nathan and their three dogs -- huddled in a closet for two hours as the deadly tornadoes ripped though the Dallas area on Saturday.

It was pretty scary there for a little while.

Thank god. And that weather is coming our way to the east coast. So much for winter getting cancelled.

Strange caption to run with the photo, as if the tornado were divine retribution for the Toronto rout.

Yes, very strange. Especially from Schmuck.

Wow. Very strange, indeed:

"Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter watches as his team slowly implodes against the Toronto Blue Jays at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Toronto clinched their division, curb-stomping Baltimore, 15-2."

Sounds like somebody has a problem/agenda.

Schmuck always has an agenda. And I like him. He's always poking the bear with a stick. I'm just not sure which bear he's poking.

Yeah, well, you might think that he would take a brief break from his "agenda" while reporting a story like this.

There's 364 other days in the year, and a gazillion other opportunities for him to take his shots at whomever he wants to.

I guess not.

That storm system already passed through the Baltimore area.

Pretty unbelievable that whoever his editor is didn't order it changed or deleted.

It is December 30th now. 29th when the story was filed, 6:21 pm. I'm thinking Peter isn't in the office this week. Especially not after feeding time.

I live 5 hours away in Norfolk

I live 5 hours away in Norfolk

OK. Same general idea. That weather system has already cleared the east coast.

Saw the thread title and thought it was referring to an article about Buck's job security, and was wondering why such an article was even necessary. I'm glad Buck got through the tornadoes.

I've not huddled in a closet for several hours in recent history.
