LATEST STORIES FROM GIRLS DON'T KNOW SPORTS
Beaten By the Bungles
The Ravens were terrible this weekend. Just awful to watch. They lost 17-7 to the rejuvenated Bengals, but the game wasn't even that close. Cincinnati dominated every aspect of the game. They stalled every aspect of our offense, the picked off Flacco, they sacked Flacco, they stopped the run and the Ravens seemed powerless to stop them. And with the Ravens' defense not playing...

FAILgate
Oh, this title could refer to so many things. The Terps routing by Virginia, the Ravens coming back in the 4th quarter only to shank a 44 yard field goal. The miserable seasons both seem to be having now. My complete and utter lack of blogging for the last two weeks. So many things I wanted to write and just got caught up being distracted. I guess this might happen occasionally when...

Never Say Never
I had given up on the Terps. It was just too painful to watch their games. So I was shocked when my friend looked up the Maryland score on Saturday to find out they beat Clemson 24-21. I'm still not really sure how they did it.

Young, Struggling Terps
The Terps lost a heart breaker last weekend. I don't think it will be the last of the season unfortunately. After being blown out by Cal and barely beating JMU it wasn't that hard to see a game like this coming.

Ravens Win, Top Power Rankings
So normally I scoff at power rankings. At the end of the regular season it's about who wins the most games, not what some experts think. And at the end of the playoffs it's still about who won. Screw the odds makers and expert picks. Power rankings are basically something for people to talk about during the week between football games.

Football Season Is Here!
The Ravens won! The Terps won! Even the Orioles won 2 out of 3 against the Yankees! It was a great weekend to be a Baltimore/MD sports fan. So what if the MD win was ugly. And who cares if the Ravens special teams leaves a little to be desired. It's still early in the season and there were a lot of good things that happened.

Heartbreakers....Countd own 28
The Orioles have been up and down all season. And every time I want to give up on them, they come back with a great performance and convince me to give them another chance, convince me that they really are worth my time, that they really will get better and not break my heart all the time. Last night was one of those nights.

Let the Trash Talking Begin
On of the best things about sports is being able to taunt your friends about the superiority of your team. While the teams might not be rivals, it's always nice to see your team win and get to rub it in your friends faces. Do I actually have any strong feelings about JMU? No. Not at all.

Pie Hits For the Cycle....Countdown 33
Last night I had two different friends ask me if I wanted to go to the
game. I was kind of tired so I decided to just watch it from my couch.
Big mistake.

Pre Season Fun
Yes, in general preseason games are meaningless and just excuses to get
excited about football while nothing is really on the line. They give
us something to talk about and analyze when it comes to rookies and
free agents and the final roster.

Top Ten Reasons I'm Ready For Football Season
10. More than one sport I care about is going on. Time to get excited
about something other than a losing baseball team and hope the Terps
can play well enough to avoid giving me an anxiety attack.

Optimism Killers
Before the All Star Break I had a lot of hope for the O's. They were
playing well and I thought things were starting to look up. I guess I
was wrong. It was a lie I told myself so many times I started to
believe it. But it has become painfully obvious that it'll be at least
another year before we can enjoy a winning or even a .500 season.

Why I Hate The Wave
Yes, I hate the Wave. I think it's dumb. Not only that, I think it's
counter productive to sporting events. People almost always insist on
starting the wave during baseball games when they are bored. And during
Orioles' games, fans often need distractions.

Second Half Hope...Countdown 44
The Orioles are now into the second half of the season still with a
less than .500 record. This usually means terrible things. And in
recent years past we fans have had no reason to hope that the O's would
keep steady or even improve during the second half.

Nationals, The Cure For Any Slump...Countdown 48
I really do feel bad for the Nationals. When they first moved to DC I
worried they would take away from the Orioles already struggling fan
base. But instead, I think they might have done the opposite.

O's Are Clutch, Sweep Phils...Countdown 49
Yes, the Phillies have been slumping at home and were without some of
their key players, including Ryan Howard with the flu, but wins are
wins. With the Orioles having such a dismal road record this season,
I'm still happy when the O's can win anything on the road.'s

Orioles Win Series, Wieters Finds His Bat...Countdown 52
After weeks of speculation as to what was happening with Matt Wieters
bat, he finally did it, he hit his first home run and drove in his
first couple RBIs. Now everyone can stop worrying and just let the kid

Wieters Debuts, Orioles Roll...Countdown 58
Last night it seemed like I had gone back in time. Fans braved and
waited out the pregame rains to stay around and watch the O's play. The
stadium was full of fans wearing orange and cheering on the home team.
Everyone seemed excited and happy and hopeful. And it was loud.

Orioles Start the Series Off Right...Countdown 61
The Orioles have now won the first two games in their series against
Toronto. So now they have won their last two series and 4 out of there
last 5 games. Things seem to be looking up for the O's. Guthrie pitched
an amazing game yesterday and Jason Berken won his Major League debut
today only letting up seven hits and two runs in five innings.

Behind Enemy Lines: Yankee Stadium
A few nights ago, my brother and I made the trip to Yankee Stadium.
After scouring Stub Hub a week ago for reasonable tickets, and moving
him into his new apartment we were ready to go in our Orioles' gear. In
the end we were able to get cheap tickets, about $15 a piece including
fees for decent seats behind the 3rd base dugout in the highest level.
But overall we had a...

Too Much Drama in Caps Playoffs
The Caps are now down 3-2 in a series they once led 2-0. They've had
two overtime losses and now need to win the last two games of the
series to advance. Otherwise, the hated Sid Crosby and his whiny batch
of Penguins will advance. My theory on this series, the Caps need the
drama to motivate them. After coming back from being down 3-1 to the
Rangers, they were still riding...

O's Snap Losing Streak, Countdown Continues at 71
The Orioles have been struggling lately. They had lost six consecutive
games and won only 3 of the last 18 games. But last night they found
their bats and were able to hold of the Rays with an 8-4 win. Markakis
started the O's off early with a three run home run. And from then on
the O's were able to keep creating offense and get the win.

Maybe It is All Starting To Come Together...Countdown 73
Last night Adam Eaton stepped up and managed to allow only four hits and no runs in 7 1/3 innings leading the Orioles to a 6-2 win. The White Sox have a powerful offense so it's not as if he was pitching against the Nationals. After two lousy starts maybe he finally found his groove. The big question this season has been pitching?
