Postgame Dave

Obviously, Dave Trembley was quite pleased with the performance of young Brad Bergesen, and why not? The guy sure looked like he might be able to fill one of the holes in the starting rotation.

"It was a tremendous performance,'' Trembley said. "I think we've talked about his poise. Didn't get rattled. Great tempo. The guys liked playing behind him...He didn't flinch. He made great pitches when he needed to. Congratulations to him."

Trembley didn't shy away from the notion that Bergesen's debut might be the beginning of a new pitching era for the Orioles.

"It was only a matter of gime before it was going to start,'' he said. "I said before the game, 'Win or lose, it was going to be a big day in the history of the Orioles. There's more coming. They're not here yet. Bergesen is the first guy, let's enjoy him."

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.
