More rainout info

If you're holding tickets from last night's rainout, you can exchange them for today's doubleheader (subject to availability, but I don't think that will be a problem) or for one of the other remaining Orioles home games.

There still will be the possibility of rain today, but the highest likelihood is in the morning and early afternoon, so -- if you're so inclined -- you'll probably get your two games for the price of one if you show up at the ballpark for the 5:05 p.m. start.

That's the only way your going to see most of the first game, because MLB blackout rules do not allow MASN to broadcast the O's until 7:05 p.m.. The first game will be picked up in progress at that time and the telecast will extend through the second game.

Twins vs. O's beatdown or USC v. Ohio State? Yeah, real tough choice there. I know someone in the press box wil have that game on a TV!

Thanks for pointing out the blackout rule, I was toying with going that might put me over the top. The old school double-headers of my youth are missed by me too, but the way the modern game is played I wonder if we get done by midnight? Who cares it's a long winter and this is the only sport I follow.

Pete's reply: I'd say midnight is a firm maybe.

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.
