The People You Meet at Opening Day (Part Deux)

Just want to congratulate Roch Kubatko on his first night in the broadcast booth for MASN last night at Tropicana Field. He did fine and is getting props from everyone, but the thing I was most impressed with was his ability to find his way back to Baltimore. The guy isn't very good with directions. Even in the accompanying photo, he has a bit of a dear-in-the-headlights look, because I was trying to tell him how to find the Orioles clubhouse.

If you haven't noticed, this whole thing is a play on the title of Mitch Albom's book The Five People You Meet in Heaven. Obviously, wasn't going to meet Roch there, so I had to come up with something else.

Pete,

To find the clubhouse all Roch needs to do is follow the trail of nacho crumbs you'll leave behind.

hahaha that picture of Rock is great!

Careful Pete,

Some people might think you are letting your man-crush leak out with the "dear-in-the-headlights" misspelling.

Congratulations, Rochy. You've just won the Johnny Cash lookalike contest. Love the picture, Peter.

Isn't that the guy from the scaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrry Movie, movie? Or was it the creature from the black lagoon.....

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.
