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.

Great, Pete.
Now we all have to hear about how your dogs are on the Orioles' payroll.

Heh, there's been a Pete-sighting. Time for some O's talk now that Ravens have pulled their annual tank-job.
Your thoughts please on add'l O's moves -- our bench seems really thin, don't we need a
veteran bat coming off the bench??

First of all I expected a whole lot more from the Ravens, the Orioles not so much.
TJ who? indeed....The Oriole equivalent of Garret Atkins.
Ray Rice has proven he is no big time talent with the game on the line.....GET RID OF HIM!
Daqwan Landry? played better than Miss Ed Reed but thats not saying much
Ben Grubbs? what a waste of space
Ngata? all show no go
Flacco? Joe Montana with out the WRs
last but not least Ray Lewis?
time for the glue factory
Notice to raven management...pay up and get some players
Is Baltimore another word for sucker?

Looks like both Bogie & Trotsky each have earned their PhD's in rest & relaxation.

Pete now that the ravens season is over and seemly endless vacation is almost up i look forward to spring and once again being your prime target.However with buck on board i don't think i will have that many problems like in the past.

If Bogie andTtrotsky can get along, maybe there's hope for Raven and Steelers fans.
