The Orioles are Killing Me Slowly...

Yep, these 4-1 losses by the Orioles are driving me batty...The Yankees so own us right now, it's not remotely funny. So, I won't spend any more time talking about our offensive woes or why I think Matt Wieters should be playing better (I'm too cruel!). Instead, let's talk about another dysfunctional team in the area...The Wizards. In an interview with Mike Jones this morning, Antawn Jamison claimed that Flip Saunders wasn't the problem with the team last year. 'It was individuals that had too many agendas that weren't the same.' Hmm, wonder who those individuals could be? Gotta get back to work, so I'll talk to you later...

Wizards 1-16 in March...Break 'Em Up!

So the Wizards finally broke their team record losing streak last night, beating the New Orleans Hornets 96-91. Yeah, they've been close in a bunch of games this month, but they have never looked really good. And, honestly, the Hornets are clearly punting the rest of the season, so the win wasn't a high quality victory. But, the Wiz are 1-2 in their last 3, whereas the Caps are 0-3. Yeah, that is a HUGE stretch, but it is a positive. Mike Miller was able to hit a layup, Andrae Blatche didn't become a one man gang, and the D managed to survive a late 11-1 run by the Hornets to secure the victory. Sixteen game losing streaks in the NBA are rare, but any losing streak of ten or more games is the sure sign of a team in need of major rebuilding, which is what Wizards fans have to look forward to over the next year. Well, back to work. 2 posts in a day! Later...

Big Sports Day in D.C.

Wow, what a day for sports in the D.C. area! Right now, Maryland is up on Duke by 2 at halftime (after leading my double digits earlier in the half), but that's not the half of what's been going on. The Caps addressed their depth needs with a number of trades, including Joe Corvo, Scott Walker, and Eric Belanger (Oh, and an injured Milan Jurcina). The Orioles played their first spring training game of the season and it became the Josh Bell show, who homered from both sides of the plate. Finally, the Hokies beat the Wolfpack, hopefully improving their resume for a tournament berth. Oh, and the Wiz are losing to the Bucks right now, but...Look over here! Anyway, I'll be back with more after the Terps game...
