Sunday Bird Droppings

The early bird gets the links

Now, I may be the substitute for Mr. duck today but I will not hesitate to send you to the Principles office if you start horsing around. I have a seating chart so make sure you are in your assigned seat. No talking. No note passing. I have an important link presentation for you that you will need to pay attention to. This material may be on the test.

Really wanted to stay up all night and geek out on some World Baseball Classic action, but 'twas not in the cards. Made it about 1/2way through the Brasil-Cuba game before darkness washed over the Dude. Was hoping to catch a glimpse of O's minor leaguer and Brasil Pitcher Raphael Moreno, but he wasn't in the game as of the 5th inning.

Anywho, in stateside action, the birds of Baltimore will exhibit their skills in opposition to those of the Phillies of Philadelphia at 1:05 pm. Chris Tillman gets the start, with Miguel Gonzalez slated to make an appearance at some point as well. The MLB site states the game will be broadcast on 1090 AM. So spend part of you Sunday enjoying the dulcet tones of Joe Angel and Fred Manfra.
