Top prospect Matt Wieters had the night off last night, but he already has homered in tonight's game at Reading. Wieters hit a solo shot in the second inning and Steve Torrealba hit one in the fourth to give the BaySox a 4-0 lead.
Wieters has hit 10 homers since he was promoted to Double-A. He also drove in a second run in the game and now has 45 RBI in 50 games for the BaySox.
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.

You know, if he produces RBI's at the same rate for the O's one day, he might just work out.
