« Perfect gift: A nice tie | Main | Orioles: Rivera gets earful »
Felix Pie is back in Sarasota getting x-rays on his bruised right lower leg after being drilled by Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, but manager Dave Trembley said he doesn't think his Opening Night left fielder is seriously hurt.
“I don’t think it’s anything,’’ Trembley said. “He went to get x-rays. That’s just standard whenever anybody gets hit.”
Update: Pie's x-rays have come back negative.
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.

But Pie keeps laffin'/ Instead of cryin'
Pie must keep fightin' / Until he's dyin',
And Ol' Man Rivera / He'll just keep rollin' along

Chris, I think all the bikinis in front of Diamond Head are finally getting to you.

No more bikinis in front of Diamond Head... just rock and wind surfers.
International (read: Japanese) bikinis stay at Waikiki and Waimea.
Locals stay at Sandys and Makapu'u.

I prefer Kailua beach or Waimanalo Beach.
Still haven't been to North Shore in January. Turtle Bay is nice, though.

Big waves at Pipeline and Waimea in December and January. Behold the power of nature.
Makapuu's my favorite and it's near Waimanalo... kind of. And it's a bit more scenic with the cliffs and Rabbit Island.
Shorebreak at Sandys will snap your back and neck in the summer. Beginners better not bodysurf there.

I actually walked the trail near Makapuu - can't remember the name, it's near the shooting range. It was in July and I sweated my ass off, but once I got to the top it was worth it.
My big venture to North Shore was to Matsumoto's for shave ice. It's nice up there
