Mets are hacking

The New York Mets now hold a 7-3 lead in the game, thanks to a pair of two-run hits by second baseman Luis Castillo. The Orioles have scored on RBI singles by Ty Wigginton and Oscar Salazar and a run-scoring double by reserve catcher candidate Robbie Hammock, who was thrown out trying to stretch it into a triple.

Just got a report from Mets PR on the reason why starter Sean Green left the game in the first inning. He suffered a cracked fingernail on his pitching hand that apparently was affecting his grip on the ball.

Nice to know that our outfielders can throw out a reserve catcher trying to stretch a double into a triple. Now there's one thing you could count on Ramon not attempting...

Hacking now. Choking later on.

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.
