« My midlife crisis goes awry again | Main | Guthrie, Mora updates »
Tonight's lineup already has been posted, taken down and posted again. Here's the latest, which accounts for Melvin Mora being scratched with a stiff hamstring after being in the third slot on the original card:
Roberts 2B
Jones CF
Markakis RF
Huff 3B
Hernandez 1B
Millar DH
Scott LF
Quiroz C
Castro SS
Liz SP
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.

Pete's reply: Melvin just told everybody we're going to be surprised at how well Ramon plays first.

I'm starting to get very anxious about Melvin Mora reaching 100 RBI's, something I very much want to see happen.

Hernandez at 1B ?? BLAH
Where is Montanez???
Trembley caters to vets who have no business being on this team. God forbid Millar the con artist not get his AB's. "I consider myself to be an Oriole" - would you say that for 5 million dollars?? The sad thing is that the O's management will probably buy it. 20 straight losing seasons here we come !!!

Pete's reply: I'm kind of interested to see how he plays. It was a late change after Mora decided he couldn't go at third.

That looks like a spring training lineup. Oh well, may as well find out if Ramon can play first base. It could increase what they might be able to get out of his salary next year if they can't trade him and it turns out that Wieters really is ready for the big club. I wonder how many throws in the dirt he'll find the energy to go down and dig out?
