About

I’m an Alexandria, VA expatriate living in Brooklyn who will never stop rooting for the Baltimore Orioles, no matter how difficult they make it. Read my thoughts on the Birds here, as well as my adventures in fantasy baseball.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Cal Ripken, Mike Mussina, Greg Maddux

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Baltimore Orioles

  • Favorite Coaches

    Davey Johnson, Earl Weaver, Frank Robinson

  • All Time Sports Moment

    Jeff Reboulet hitting a home run off Randy Johnson in the 1997 ALDS.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Cal Ripken's 2,131st consecutive game.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    I doubt anyone's going to play in 2,632 consecutive games again any time soon--but then again, I don't see anyone getting 4,000 hits either.

    Hooboy, now we are REALLY out of my league.

    Please give me your thoughts on this.

    So far, the O's are 28-37, certainly better than most expected. What some O's fans are loving right now is Brad Bergesen, the rookie who is 4-2 with a 3.79 ERA (3-0, 1.69 last 4 starts). He's not the leader of the cavalry, but....

    Hey Sam,

    I wrote a piece in May highlighting the position players that I thought should make the all star team. I started a 2-part follow up piece today focusing on starting pitchers. I started with AL. If you get the chance, I'd appreciate it if you took a look at it. Thanks
