The Schmuck Stops Here: Minor accomplishments - Some say it’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt. I disagree.

Minor accomplishments

Mike Costanzo and Tike Redman combined to drive in five runs in the Norfolk Tides' 8-7 victory over Charlotte last night. Costanzo had the biggest offensive blow with a three-run double in the third inning. Redman homered and Jeff Fiorentino added three hits in five at-bats to boost his average to .283.

It was not a great night for the bullpen. Reliever Kam Mickolio got just two outs and gave up two runs on four hits. Bob McCrory allowed three runs in the ninth.

Bowie was off last night and opens a three-game series at Reading tonight. Frederick also was idle and continues a seven-game homestand against Lynchburg tonight at Grove Stadium.

McCrory wasn't a part of the offseason trades.

Pete,
Could we see Mickolio, McCrory and Costanzo in OPACY come September.
I heard that Scott Moore is out for the season with a thumb injury, and left the team to go back home...is this true???

About Peter Schmuck

Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
