I believe I mentioned something earlier about the Cards' starting pitching being pretty decent.  Shelby Miller just pitched a 1-hit complete game.  Who knows how long it'll last, but I haven't seen their starters this good since-- 1985??

Watching MLB Network Strike Zone.  Nice getting a glimpse of the Cardinals, but the Astros and Giants orange jerseys succeeded in giving me a headache.

edit: Oh, goodie.  They're showing the Astros and Giants games simultaneously now :bleeding:

Saw my favorite Orioles reliever of all time last night at my niece's choral recital, my man Tippy.  Nobody stared down the plate like he did.  Picked off three Blue Jays in one inning.

Why is he stalking your niece.

Cardinals have the best NL record at 24-13.  Rangers have the best AL record at 24-13.  Didn't work out last year but a 2011 WS rematch would be fun.

Fear the Gigantes!

I can (and do root for the Braves) at the pub, but they know when it's a SF vs. Atlanta game, I'm with SF.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Since the Caps season has ground to its predictable conclusion it is time to focus on the Orioles.  I usually listen to 105.7 in Baltimore is that the best station for Orioles talk CdM?

That loss last night Fing sucked but the season has started better than I would have hoped.

Yeah, I like 105.7 for sports talk.  They have a lot of bleedover of Ravens coverage during the call-in shows, though. 

1090AM is good too, mainly because it's the broadcast network for the Orioles games, so you get good coverage pre- and post-game.  1300AM has good sports coverage, but it's also a lot of CBS Sports programming.  But they're both AM.  :yuk:

But overall, I prefer 105.7

Is 98 Rock still a good station?  I used to get that clear as a bell in Newark, DE.  But when I moved to Wilmington I couldn't get it at all.

It's still there, very popular morning drive show.  I don't always listen to it--terrestrial rado-wise, I prefer more alternative stuff like Towson's radio station--but they still play your standard rock during the days, and more cutting edge rock after prime time in the evenings.  DC101's still doing their thing, too.

Cool, might tune in sometime.

ESPN's battle of the uniforms is down to the final 8.  Cardinals are leading the Pirates in their matchup.

Yeah, been keeping an eye on that  :lol:  Surprised the Orioles have gotten as far as they have, really don't see them getting past the Tigers.  Detroit's a purist's porn uni.

Love the Dodgers all-whites, but the Cards should edge them out, only to lose to east-coast Boston bias.
