Maybe LeBron Is Why The O’s Struggle?

I rarely talk NBA here, mostly because I don’t follow it. I am, however, a sports fan so naturally I couldn’t avoid the LeBron James drama. Now that it’s over (he’s going to the Heat if you missed it — good on you) here’s what I’ll say: in terms of sports that was one of [...]

The Depths of Cleveland’s Misery

It’s a rough time to be a Cleveland sports fan. The Indians — in town tonight for the first of three — are 13-19 and going nowhere quickly. The Cavaliers just got bounced from the NBA playoffs and may very well lose LeBron James to free agency. Ahh, that. LeBron. “King” James. A pretty good [...]

Maryland Draws Houston in First Round

Our steely resolve in the face of great February turmoil is about to be rewarded. Nothing beats March Madness. Nothing. The World Series and Stanley Cup finals sometimes come close, and occasionally the Super Bowl is interesting, but nothing tops the Tournament for year in, year out excitement. It’s that much better when the Terps [...]

News, Notes, Roundup

– So who thinks the Phillies have a chance to take two in a row at New York and win the Series? Me neither. I think I’ve watched less than nine total innings this year. It feels strange and not quite pleasant to care this little about baseball on the ultimate stage. WIth the Yankees [...]

LeBron James Comes Up Short

Do I have this right? After the Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Orlando Magic on Saturday night, LeBron James exited the arena without congratulating — or even acknowledging — his opponents. He dressed quickly and headed to the team bus, refusing to take questions from reporters or participate in the postgame news conference. Questionable move [...]

Orioles Cut Six, Terps over Tigers?

Minor news out of Orioles camp today as the team made another round of cuts. None of the names surprise, but it is worth noting that Nolan Reimold certainly impressed while he was there. He hit .321 and slugged .750 with four homers in 28 at-bats. Not too shabby. He’s ticketed for Norfolk, and the [...]

The 1,000th Post

This completely snuck up on me. There was no fanfare, no hype. All of a sudden I just looked up and saw that, hey, the next post is #1,000. Pretty cool, I think. I owe that number to all of you, since there’s no way in hell TLC gets to 1k if the community isn’t [...]

Maryland In As a Ten

Dan Steinberg said it best over at the DC Sports Bog: “So much for Maryland being on the bubble. The Terps were nowhere near the bubble.” I was real surprised to see Gary Williams and company nab a 10 seed — I was thinking they would likely land a 12 or maybe even 13. In [...]
