Mike Williams to enter NFL Draft

Just saw this on ESPN. Making it official. The cheater and quitter is entering the draft. Good luck, make millions, cheat on your NFL "IQ" test, and please get drafted by the Raiders. We don't need you.

Orioles tying record for facing LHP in consecutive games

Timmy L. — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 22:12:55 -0000

Interesting tidbit from Roch's blog, http://masnsports.com/2009/07/feeling-left-out-2.html

The Orioles are about to tie the record for most consecutive games facing LHP at 9 games. Tonight, John Danks, and Mark Buerhle tomorrow. Teams must be scouting us!! I remember that Seattle series about a month ago where is was what, Olson Washburn and Vargas? (don't remember exact order) I just haven't realized this current and longer streak, since I had been out of the country for a couple of weeks, returning on Sunday.

I have one solution for breaking the record. We trade Rich Hill to Chicago, and he pitches against us on Sunday. I am kidding, though, obviously. Hill's ERA is atrocious, but I will take the 8-3 record we have of games he has pitched in. I think he will improve his ERA eventually.

Another quick note, we are currently 4-3 during this "lefty streak."

But anyways, congrats to our O's, who will be tying a meaningless record!! This is BIRDLAND!

Fashion Police: Hairdos, Bergesen, base coaches

Fashion Police: Hairdos, Bergesen, base coaches

Pretty funny video from masn online. Dennis Sarfate is part of the "Fashion Police." He shows pictures of T-Bone Shelby and Juan Samuel back when they were playing. Asks both of them about the fro, Jerry curls, etc. Then asks some of the players what they think of their coaches' hairdos.

I really love Brad Bergesen's Kip voice from Napoleon Dynamite, pretty spot-on.

Sorry folks. I had this image hanging around on my computer, and I just had to put it up. This is from Spring Training '07, with DCabs warming up on the foul territoy bullpen.

I do NOT miss either of these guys one bit.

Norfolk 1st place, best record in International League

Timmy L. — Sat, 23 May 2009 14:48:41 -0000

After David Hernandez's dominant performance last night, the Tides now hold the best record in the International League! At 27-13, we hold a slight percentage point advantage over the MFY AAA ballclub, Scranton-Wilkes Barre. They have won 9 out of their last 10, including a nice little 8 game win streak. Let's hope these guys can start pushing the big league club, and competing with them (as we have now seen with Bergesen and Reimold, although Bergesen hasn't been impressive by any means). More callups are imminent, one in which a specific catcher has been compared with the likes of Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Gandhi, Chris Hoiles, Ramon Hernandez (joke) and even Jesus Christ.

Keep it up, cavalry!!!

Tides-Chiefs game Wednesday night in 'Cuse

Timmy L. — Mon, 11 May 2009 15:30:50 -0000

Hailing from Central New York, I am heading to the Syracuse Chiefs-Norfolk Tides game on Wednesday night. Are any CC members even from this area? If so, come out to the game. I will be wearing a throwback Brooks Robinson jersey and a spring training "O's" hat, so feel free to say hi. Plus come on, it's a AAA version of the ever so hated rivalry O's-Nats ha!

The main goal is to get a pic or auto from Wieters. Hopefully my O's jersey will help out.

Getting to see Wieters, Reimold, Waters (ugggggh), and company= Tideland.

SU-UCONN game

Timmy L. — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 16:43:48 -0000

OK. Who watched the SU-Uconn game?

I know this is a baseball blog, but this game is one of the top 5 NCAA games of all time. 6 OTs, Cuse coming back from being down in 5 of them. Walk ons getting in near the end. Clutch 3s. Jonny Flynn playing 67 minutes. I could go on and on. I live right near Syracuse, but am Uconn fan first, so it was a bad result for me.

In relation to Orioles, one moment that can top this will be an Orioles World Series victory. Who knows how long I'll have to wait, just praying it will be in my lifetime. I will definitely shed a tear in that case.

I think the game was a little more exciting than the Maryland-N.C. State game last night ;-)
