“I think with Coach Frese, she recruited me the hardest out of all the coaches,” Mincy said. “She made the phone calls when she needed to. The coaches e-mailed frequently to keep me informed on how the team was doing [on the court] and outside of basketball. … [Frese is] also close to my parents. Just the other day, she just wished my dad a happy birthday. My mom’s a newlywed, so she e-mailed my mom, asking her how she … Read More »

—First things first. The crowd at Land Shark Stadium was announced at 10,200. On TV it looked like there were a max of 2000 present and in the late innings about 600.  I’m not sure iI would be building a new stadium for this team.

—Who is to blame last night Ty Wigginton for an absolutely idiotic base-running mistake in the 11th inning or Dave Trembley, the manager of a team that has run itself out of 5 or 6 … Read More »

I fully understand why Andy MacPhail signed the likes of Adam Eaton, Mark Hendrickson and Koji to be in the starting rotation .  Signing these players allowed the young pitchers from Bowie to gain valuable experience pitching at the next level in Norfolk.  Eaton is now off the team and Hendrickson is in the bullpen.  Yet Koji remains in the starting rotation usually pitching 5-6 innings a game.  Earlier in the year Koji had trouble gripping the ball because of … Read More »

Jen Adams leads a contingent of 4 Terrapins including Sarah Mollison, on the Australia team.The USA bounced back from a 5-0 start and a 9-4 Australia halftime lead.  Look for these 2 teams to meet in the title game later this week.

The National basketball Players Association had its Top 100 camp in Charlottesville this weekend. Many Terrapin recruiting targets were present. Check out Matt Bracken’s Sun article for a in depth report. Calvert Hall forward Jonathan Graham saved his best for last, scoring 10 in his final game to finish with a 4.2 points per game average.

Terrapintimes.com reported tonight that after a 2 year recruitment, Brenda and the Lady Terps landed another gem for 2011–Laurin Mincy, a 5’11” guard from University High in Newark, New Jersey. Check out the article from nj.com. 

There are those who might say the Orioles current 5 game winning streak ( 2 vs. Mets-3 vs. Phils) is tainted because the Mets have more injuries than Heinz has varieties and the Phils are in a tailspin losing 8 of 9 on their just concluded home stand.  One thing you need to do is beat bad teams or teams going bad and that’s exactly what the Orioles did this past week.  It may not be as impressive as if … Read More »

In the 13 year history of the Ravens, last year was to me the most enjoyable. Why? This team made an incredible run that was halted by a brain dead play by a now released special teams player. Starting with the improbable upset at Dallas, then crushing the Dolphins on the road and then upsetting Jeff Fischer and the Titans on the road, the Ravens played in total unison with each other and certainly elevated the status of Rookie Coach … Read More »

Can we all see some light at the end of the tunnel. There is nothing like a 5 game winning streak to awaken sleeping fans. I like the tweaking of the lineup and substitutions Trembley is making. Everyone seems to be participating in the resurgence of this team. Now if we could play the NL East every day. Brian Roberts seems to be popping out of his lathargic hitting and fielding streak. Jeremy Guthrie pitched like the #1 starter he … Read More »
