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.

"No one called for the tarp to be put on during the cloudburst, apparently because everyone assumed the rain would pass quickly. "
Sums up the Orioles organization over the last 10 years. Clueless and dysfunctional.
If they would move to Arizona at least rain would rarely be an issue.

Pete's reply: Well, the umpires have some say over that, too.

I understand we lost the broadcast because our announcers left during the rain delay. Really bush, would never have happened with WBAL. TV and radio coverage of the Orioles has been terrible this spring(as in non existant). The Nationals have done better.
