Dave's back

Manager Dave Trembley has had a busy 24 hours. He flew home to Daytona Beach after Friday night's game to attend the high school graduation of his son, Kevin, then flew right back to Baltimore this afternoon.

"It was nice,'' he said. "Family's important. My wife and son have made a lot of sacrifices for me, so it's important to be there for them. I got a lot of help from Andy MacPhail and Mr. Angelos."

Angelos provided a private jet so his manager could make the quick turnaround. Otherwise, he would have missed two games at a time when the team is playing very well.

Who says Angelos doesn't have a clue how to run an ball club? In all seriousness though, glad to see the O's are doing the right things on and off the field.

Pete,

A random thought. Based on production, abilities etc I believe the following line-up would be ideal right now versus Righthanded starters and the /name would reflect against lefthanded pitchers

Roberts
Mora
Markakis/Jones
Huff
Jones/Markakis
Wieters
Scott/Reimhold
Reimhold/Scott
Isturis

This line up presents the greatest decisions for the opposing manager. Both Markakis and Jones are too good of run producers to be batting second and Mora bunts very well! A lot of possibilities!

Pete,

Can Jaime Walker suck enough! Where was Hendrickson? What is Dave doing? Walker hasn't got a significant out all year! I believe the psychological explanation is psychotic, when you repeatedly do the same thing expecting a different result! Walker should have never made this team and his performance reinforces that everytime out!

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.
