Dave needs to chill

newdave.jpgOrioles manager Dave Trembley deserves some time apart from baseball after what he's been through over the past six weeks, but he said yesterday that he'll be glued to the tube for the playoffs and World Series.

You might think he'd want to get as far away from the game as possible, at least for awhile, but the always-tactful Jerry Coleman -- who has graciously agreed to return to Baltimore and save talk radio -- got under Dave's skin when he suggested just that at Trembley's final postgame news conference of 2008.

"I never get away from baseball,'' Trembley said. "If you knew me, you wouldn't ask that question because I never get away from baseball."

Sounds like Dave needs to get away from baseball, though he seemed to cheer up considerably as soon as he got away from Coleman.

Jerry Coleman, the Padres guy? Why was he in town?

.............................................................................................
Pete's reply: No, the other Jerry Coleman, used to be the WBAL morning sports guy.

Hi Peter,

When and where is Jerry Coleman coming back to? Good grief, he has alienated more people than a Wall Street executive.

Hey Pete... Please, No more ranking predictions for the Terps. Nada, Nil, Zip, None, No. Me thinks you jinxed them......

Coleman got under someone's skin? Surprise! I give him a lot of credit, though. He made it through three weeks before it happened. Congrats to Jerry on a new personal record.

Jerry Coleman is as bad as you get.

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.
