Lineup quirk: Yes, if you looked at the Orioles lineup earlier today, you probably noticed that the O's have a DH and the Mets don't. I'm going to guess the Mets don't intend to let Brandon Knight hit in the ninth spot, but it wouldn't be the end of the world either way.
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, today's game is on TV for the Mets and the MLB network is also carrying it for those that get it.

Pete,
I'm watching the O's game on the MLB network. Pie looks lousy in the field and at the plate. I caught about 15 of his Cubs games last season and don't see what the hype is all about. I'm sure you'll say 5 tool potential, but this guy does not look like a major leaguer.
