« Pregame Dave | Main | Orioles: Postgame laments »
Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton, who has been in and out of the lineup with a sore rib cage, was originally in today's starting lineup but was scratched after batting practice. Andruw Jones took his place in the lineup, but not in the No. 3 slot. Jones is batting cleanup and Michael Young moved back from No. 2 to bat third. Outfielder David Murphy moved up from the sixth spot to bat second.
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.

Why is is that the Texas Rangers can develop great hitter after great hitter but haven't devloped a quality starting pitcher in I don't know how long?

Trembley bears full brunt tonight.
This is absolutely freakin' ridiculous. Albers can't hit the strike zone to save his life, and after walking the bases loaded, he's left in to give up a 2-run single.
Trembley needs to stop showing confidence in guys who have done NOTHING to merit it.

We made David Murphy the league's hottest hitter last night. Unbelievable!
