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.

I'm happy to report that your boy Blake Davis [ drafted ahead of your other boy] Tripp is coming around. Don't give up on Davis just yet.

its good to see Montanez back in the lineup.. only other person i would like to see in that lineup is Wieters but i can wait til ST so he can get as much game time as possible this fall..

The only thing that cheered me up even remotely was Johny Damon screwing the Yankees last night. Did you guys see that? Other than that there wasn't much to feel good about last night. Note to O's: Lay off Daisuke's slider.
Mickolio's ERA was under 1 for almost his whole stint at Norfolk. When did it rise to 1.5? I am really hoping that somebody (Mickolio) steps up here and asserts himself - here is a chance at being a Major league setup man. Go for broke, kid.

The O's called up Kam Mickolio!! The Erik Bedard trade was already a complete steal, if this guy comes up and plays well it makes Andy McPhail look like a genius and Seattle look even worse!

We are getting smashed tonight w/ Waters going agasint their lineup. Get ready for the sweep and ALOT of annoying Saux fans

Here we go again. How predictable was that bases loaded walk? Our organizational lack of big league pitching is pretty disheartening considering the pitching was expected to be decent. I know we have great prospects like Tillman and Matusz in the system now, but that's we said when we had Loewen and Penn before. This vicious cycle of pitching poverty sucks.

What is up with this ump? He didnt call two obvious strikes leading to two runs.

I'm really happy that Waters got to experience his amazing performance against the Angels in his debut. Unfortunately, he is not a major league pitcher and doesn't deserve any more starts. He kind of reminds of a poor man's Brian Burres, which obviously isn't a good thing.
