Shentel chasing MASN - News
I've never heard of Shentel Cable, but they operate in Shenandoah County in Virginia and are trying to work out a deal with MASN to have the cable station added so O's and Nats fans in the area can watch the games. The main sticking point is MASN's requirement that it be part of basic cable and not a sports package. -Stacey

Didn't come up
on my Google News search for “Orioles” within the last day.

i love the headline on the sidebar tho
“players rally around him”
really? players supporting cocaine use?
by twistedlogic on Mar 18, 2010 9:36 AM EDT up reply actions
Well, I know at least one player "rallying around" him in that clubhouse
Nevermind. I can’t do it. It’s too mean.
Josh Hamilton.
I may have to go to a Newark Bears v. L.I. Ducks game this year
to see Ponson pitch against Jay Gibbons. Then I can vomit when I remember they were each “important pieces” for us at one point.
Yes, he was, iirc

I hope to all the baseball gods that I see Ponson pitch vs. the Revolution.
I am going to bust out every fat joke ever heard. I’m going to wear a judge’s robe to the game. I’m going to offer to buy him beer and hookers every half-inning.
(Basically, I’m going to get ejected from a Revs game)
I'm planning on trying to catch him at a Blue Crabs game
The sign will be something like: “Sidney Ponson Career Stats: ERA: 5.03 W-L: 91-113 BAC: 0.452 DUI: 2”
Also
NJ has now swept the season series (6 games) aganst the reigning Stanley Cup champion Pittsburg Penguins. Just thought i’d point that out.
Thats the problem with sports where so many teams make the playoffs
Theres no incentive not to coast against lesser opponents.
I'm sorry...
did you just infer NJ is a “lesser opponent”? As far as incentive goes, the loss drops Pitt from a 2 seed to a 4 seed, so i’d imagine there is at least a bit of incentive. Also, not losing to the same opponent 6 times in a season might be a good idea.
Red Jesus
Coming back soon.

This is getting out of hand
How many Jesus’sseses can the Baltimore/DC area have? Wieters, Strasburg, Ovie… Maybe it’s time to start adding in other religions so everyone can have their own nickname.
Red Bhudda doesn't have the same ring.
and Wieters is The Deity to me, although Switch-Hitting Jesus is growing on me.

Ugh, Buddha

Yeah, he gets to me, too.

i know!
wasn’t paying attention to the score until i noticed a friends fb status saying “sidney crosby can go cry in corner…6-0”

Thanks for getting this up, duck
I’m having the most ridiculous day ever.

But whose to say that that isn't the truth of the matter?
Spoilers: Wonderful, tremendous movie. Love when he realizes that Robinson Cano isn’t his favorite player.
Bedard says he doesn't care and thinks goals are pointless.
OMG you guys
They’re not ready for the public quite yet, but zk is hard at work on our shirts and they are AWESOME. I am so psyched. We’re going to do our best to make sure you can get them by Opening Day if you choose.

Prelim results have looked great
and i’m sure I havent even seen stuff you have. These blow away the examples we saw from other websites. Everyone is gonna be quite happy with them.
teasers
we’re running a test or two with the vendor. want to ensure the quality and all that. one thing we want to find out is if that gold color looks more orange or yellow. it’s closer to the old orioles orange of my youth. the other orange option is all ORANGE! but we’ll be offering both.

I didn't think I'd want one...
but man, I want one of those Lollygagger shirts now. That looks awesome.

OMG I love the lollygagger one
I was going to suggest that… but then I didn’t… or maybe I did and forgot… the point is I WANT IT.
I have the ladies version prototype being sent to me
I’ll be sure to give you a review on its awesomeness.

In one game as a freshman at Miami, Wieters hit a two-run homer in the top of the ninth to put the Yellow Jackets ahead, then pitched the bottom of the ninth for the save. On that day, the God nickname was bestowed. - Sports Illustrated
