The naked and the fed
Just want to thank the Mid-Altantic Sports Network for sparing me the sight of a naked man running onto the field at Rogers Centre during the seventh inning tonight. I was eating a pint of Cherry Garcia and it definitely would have clashed with the carpet.
For years, the various television networks -- both local and national -- have abided by an unwritten rule against turning the cameras on the drunken idiots who run onto the field and disrupt the game. I'm in favor of that policy, particularly in the case of people who shouldn't even be naked in private.
I always think the same thing when I see somebody -- clothed or otherwise -- dashing across the field:
Where's Mike Curtis when you need him?

Pete,
Where is your sense of adventure? Is there anything better than seeing someone make an @$$ of themselves in public and having on TV or tape for posterity? If more were done, maybe some of our politicians wouldn't be viable politicians any longer.
Finally, when you play as bad as the O's maybe starting pitchers who don't complete the 6th inning should have to disrobe before then leave the field and go to the showers, kinda like not driving your golf ball past the ladies tee???? Public humiliation is quite a motivator!

Pete's reply: You don't have to tell me about public humiliation. Have you heard me on the radio?

Pete's reply: I'm afraid not, but I'll be out there in November. Maybe there will be a parade.
