However, he is entering (or has entered) the most important part of the season. In June, his [...]

Doing some research today I dug up an interesting article from Rainer Sabin at the Virginian-Pilot. It’s all about the Norfolk Tides and why they switched from their longtime Mets affiliation. Part of the reason might surprise you: But Rosenfield is more excited about the less-tangible benefits, like the investment Baltimore has made in Norfolk’s [...]

Matt Wieters is coming. But let’s back up a little bit. I got an invite about two weeks ago from the folks at MASN, asking if I’d like to participate in Bloggers Night at the ballpark. I’m not entirely sure if I’m “supposed” to talk about it or not, but nobody asked me not to [...]
