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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’m back in town after a harrowing handful of days. Exhausting and more than a little bit expensive. Not recommended. Thanks for holding things down while I was gone. Luckily, no news broke in that time… Oh, except a complete meltdown involving Gary Williams and the Terps brass. Yikes. I’ll say it straight up: this [...]

There’s nothing stranger for a sports fan than the end of a season. Or maybe I’m over-generalizing. There’s nothing stranger for this sports fan. Anticipating games becomes part of a daily habit. When they’re over, it creates a giant void. Not that there aren’t plenty of things to fill it, but there’s a period of [...]
