The Yard Yack: May 2012

http://theyardyack.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Yackin' about the Baltimore Ravens and Baltimore Orioles, with an outside perspective on all things sports. Saturday, May 5, 2012. Aiming For A Series Win. With a win this afternoon, the Orioles can move 9 games over .500 for the first time since July 18th of 2005. Anybody remember what was special about that week? Rafael Palmeiro got his 3,000th hit. Anybody remember what happened two weeks later? Friday, May 4, 2012. I'll write a separate article on a more in-depth look at why they're succeeding; but t...

The Yard Yack: The End of an Era: Here's to the "kid"

http://theyardyack.blogspot.com/2010/06/end-of-era-heres-to-kid.html

Yackin' about the Baltimore Ravens and Baltimore Orioles, with an outside perspective on all things sports. Wednesday, June 2, 2010. The End of an Era: Here's to the "kid". That day has now arrived for me with the announcement that Ken Griffey, Jr. has decided to retire after 22 years in the Major Leagues. It’s said that Griffey’s feet didn’t even touch the ground as he ran, although that’s just a rumor. Everybody who saw that moment will never forget it. It was Griffey at...Griffey was a megastar when I...

Yackin' about the Baltimore Ravens and Baltimore Orioles, with an outside perspective on all things sports. Friday, April 29, 2011. Ravens Hope This Jimmy Smith Doesn't Haunt Them. 10 years ago, I witnessed All-Pro wide receiver Jimmy Smith of the Jacksonville Jaguars terrorize Ravens cornerbacks for over 200 yards receiving. Now, The Ravens have their own Jimmy Smith. His job? To make sure receivers don't get passed the line of scrimmage. A player who could do just that. Thursday, April 28, 2011. The Or...

The Yard Yack: July 2010

http://theyardyack.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

Yackin' about the Baltimore Ravens and Baltimore Orioles, with an outside perspective on all things sports. Tuesday, July 20, 2010. 2010 Baltimore Ravens Wide Receivers. They are well in the past. That can only be a good thing. Boldin is the physical receiver that can make tough catches over the middle and break tackles that result in a lot of yards after the catch. The Ravens haven’t had a player with Boldin’s combination of size and strength at receiver in a very, very long time. Saturday, July 17, 2010.

The Yard Yack: Zach To The Future

http://theyardyack.blogspot.com/2011/04/zach-to-future.html

Yackin' about the Baltimore Ravens and Baltimore Orioles, with an outside perspective on all things sports. Wednesday, April 13, 2011. Zach To The Future. In the spring of 2009, former Orioles manager Dave Trembley declared ".the cavalry is coming." To whom was he referring to? The Orioles weren't worried anymore whether Britton was or wasn't part of the cavalry. They had to begin to realize that he may be their best pitcher at any level. Britton dominated the Grapefruit league during spring training of ...

The Yard Yack: A Momentum Building Win

http://theyardyack.blogspot.com/2011/04/momentum-building-win.html

Yackin' about the Baltimore Ravens and Baltimore Orioles, with an outside perspective on all things sports. Thursday, April 28, 2011. A Momentum Building Win. Now to the game. Closer Kevin Gregg came in for a 1-2-3 ninth inning to give the Orioles a big win. If they had ended up losing this game entirely it could have sent them on another tailspin like the game against the Yankees a few weeks back where they were up 5-0 and lost. Check back today or tomorrow for a look at Matt Wieters newfound swing.

The Yard Yack: Rob Dibble: New Meaning to "No" cheering the Press Box

http://theyardyack.blogspot.com/2010/04/rob-dibble-new-meaning-to-no-cheering.html

Yackin' about the Baltimore Ravens and Baltimore Orioles, with an outside perspective on all things sports. Saturday, April 10, 2010. Rob Dibble: New Meaning to "No" cheering the Press Box. That's so unprofessional I can't even comprehend how he mentioned that. Dibble actually clapped on the broadcast and said, "Yes! During a triple by Willy Taveras. Really? And "Take it and Like it! Chants during games are so unprofessional it leads me to conclude that he must think he needs to be the biggest homer in t...

The Yard Yack: End of the Line?

http://theyardyack.blogspot.com/2011/04/end-of-line.html

Yackin' about the Baltimore Ravens and Baltimore Orioles, with an outside perspective on all things sports. Thursday, April 14, 2011. End of the Line? Chris Tillman got shelled. No, he got shellacked last night in the Bronx. The Orioles appeared to have lost patience with Tillman last season when his velocity started dipping and his command got worse. However, with Brian Matusz and Justin Duchscherer on the DL, there aren't too many other options for the club. Tillman going back to triple-A ball may be a...

Yackin' about the Baltimore Ravens and Baltimore Orioles, with an outside perspective on all things sports. Saturday, July 17, 2010. Ravens 2010 Running Backs. The 2010 Baltimore Ravens could have the best running backs group in the NFL this season- -at least on paper. They return 2,000 all-purpose yards halfback Ray Rice, former pro bowler Willis McGahee, and fullback/short-yardage back LeRon McClain. Next post: Wide Receivers. July 17, 2010 at 10:27 PM.
