« Hill's bullpen session | Main | Orioles: Today in Viera »
For those who wrote in asking whether the Orioles had a chance to get relief pitcher and Rule V draftee Rocky Cherry back, the answer is yes. He had to be offered back to the O's before he was placed on waivers by the New York Mets, but the Orioles were not interested in adding him back to their crowded pitching roster.
The Mets paid the Orioles a $50,000 draft price when they took Cherry in the Rule V draft. The O's could have taken him back for $25,000, but declined.
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.

hahahaha. Cherry Pie. That makes me think of a Motley Crew video of a song by the same name.

We could have given Rocky a chance to start.
How about Gobble who was released from the Royals?
