A Baltimore native, Dan Connolly has been covering sports for 14 years, and baseball and the Orioles for 10 seasons, including the past six with The Sun. His first year covering baseball on a daily basis was Cal Ripken Jr.'s final season as a player. It's believed that is just a coincidence.
Steve Gould is an assistant sports editor for The Sun, overseeing Orioles coverage. The Columbia native joined The Sun as a sports copy editor in 2006 after graduating from the University of Maryland.
Peter Schmuck has been covering baseball for a lot longer than Steve Gould has been on this earth. He is now a general sports columnist, but has been a beat writer covering three major league teams (the Dodgers, Angels and Orioles) and also spent a decade as the Sun's national baseball writer. If you want more of his insight on the Orioles and other sports issues, check out his personal blog -- The Schmuck Stops Here.

dean, is something wrong with hobgood? he hasn't pitched in a while.
Posted by: Dave in Buffalo | June 21, 2010 7:02 PM
Yes Dave, it appears Hobgood has changed his name to Hobbad. His name change is a reflection of catching a new disease called Oriolitis. The disease is known to ruin a young players career before it gets started. There are many cases where a player with Oriolitis can spread the disease to other players. It is an infectious disease without a cure. The disease will never fully go away. But, in rare cases, a player with Oriolitis can go into remission when playing for another team. It is too early to tell what the outcome will be.

Hmmm.... is the post above what triggered today's article "Give the Kid a Chance"? Sounds to me more like sarcasm.
