How many wins will the O's Starters get?
With the O's starting staff just about finalized and Ponson dropping to the number 4 spot, how many wins will the O's starters get? I believe they had 52 last year, will they improve by the 20 games that Ray Miller is talking about. Let's hope so.
My guess is 61.

Baseball Hall of Fame
With a previous post by Free Advice's Ken back in January and with the recent news of Robbie Alomar's retirement and a story yesterday of a straw poll vote for Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds, do any of these players make the hall. Based on the numbers, I think that they are all first ballot hall-of-famers. But Robbie has the "spitting" incident, and McGwire and Bonds are linked to steroids. What is the opinion of our Free Advice community?
Hmm.... Good Point
If France still lives, who can deny food and water to Terri Shciavo?

Curriculum Vitae
Since a member of this blog will be covering Major League Baseball on Opening Day, I imagine an opportunity and hereby submit my qualifications for same.
Do you need a photographer?
I have covered Major League Baseball as a photographer for the Williamsport Gazette. I sat in the 3rd row at Three Rivers Stadium and saw Vince Coleman of the St. Louis Cardinals set the MLB record of 38 consecutive successful stolen base attempts.
My rates are excellent and there were no complaints about my work. I have a reference.
What say ye?

San Diego and the like
Okay, so I just got back from San Diego a few days ago. It 60 degrees out side and there were like 3 clouds in the sky and all the locals were complaining about how aweful the weather was. The water in the Pacific Ocean is very cold, fyi, but the waves are big. And if you buy a poncho, don't wear it past the bars. The drunks WILL make fun of you... found this out first hand.

Drilling Update
Upcoming Senate vote on drilling for oil in the Alaskan ANWR province brings to mind this quote from Senator Howell Heflin of Alabama in 1990, upon seeing a picture of Ted Kennedy in a compromising position with a woman while floating in a boat:
"Well, Teddy, I see you've changed your position on offshore drilling."

O's Update
I suppose Tsunami Syd would have held out for more money if he knew this was going to happen. Looks to me like our boy has til May 10th to pony up the cash. Hopefully, the lightness in his wallet will motivate him to pitch well.
