Jeremy Guthrie wanted to get out there one more time before the end of the season, so his four-inning performance was a success from that standpoint.He probably wanted to get back to .500 for the season, but Vernon Wells and Lyle Overbay hit home runs and the Blue Jays scored three times on six hits. He's got a shot at the decision, but not the good kind. The Blue Jays have extended their lead to 6-0 on Wells' second home run -- this one off Alfredo Simon.
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.
