« Orioles: Filling the vacuum | Main | Sorry, if you're that sensitive, you don't belong here »
If you get a chance, I've got a new column posted on the Web site and in today's print edition about the amazing ability of the Ravens to lose five of seven games and still be in pretty decent position for a playoff berth. Check it out here.
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.

Good column Pete, but the bottom line is that the Ravens offense isn't playing well enough right now to even consider the playoffs as a possibility, regardless of who ahead of them keeps losing. Even if they do squeak into the playoffs, if their overall coaching and offensive execution don't improve dramatically they are a gimme for one and done.
