Rebel without a clue

Jamesdeanjpg.jpgIf you're wondering again where I've disappeared to, I'm including a photo that should give you a clue. I'll be interested to see how many of the baseball nuts on this blog are well-traveled enough to identify the exact location where this photo was taken. No Googling. Honor system.

I've been on vacation out West for the past week, but I'll be back in the saddle for the Orioles' next home series. I think I picked the right time to enjoy some well-deserved R&R, since I'm not sure my heart could have taken some of those ridiculous losses.

I'm not at today's game, of course, but I've got to ask a question. When you allow 10 baserunners in 3 2/3 innings and top off the fourth by giving up a three-run homer to center field...is that good???

testies.....testies.....1...2.....

we up and running today?

Oh crap, now we have to wait for Pete to approve......

Anyway, Dylan Bundy wants $30 million and a 6 year ML contract. This was his interview:

---“The numbers that were thrown out were true, “ Bundy said. “That’s how we feel and we feel that I am one of the best prep pitchers out there in the Draft this year, and we’ll see what happens I guess.”

So $30 million sounds about right?
“I guess so, huh?,” Bundy said. ----

He sounds like an arrogant little prick and is already acting like a primadonna. I can see him getting a ML contract, but way he's getting $30 million. In a couple months, I see that figure dropping to around $12 million, probably much less, because I can't see him getting more than Bryce Harper or Steven Strasburg.

Hopefully this will be "approved" by the weekend...

My guess is Bakersfield, CA where James Dean died. I don't see smog so I'm assuming you're not in L.A.

Did you drive your Porsche to get there ?

Hwy 1 up the coast is sweet.

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.
