We are giving away two tickets for Friday’s game vs the Blue Jays. The tickets will be in the bleachers with the BSR and GableSigns people, so with any luck, you might be able to squeeze a free beer out of us. To enter, all you have to do is add a comment stating which Oriole player you think is the LVP (Least Valuable Player). All entries must be made by Wednesday at noon. The winner will be chosen at random and will be notified by email. Thanks and Have Fun! Our Ravens Free Agent Tracker has been updated and will continue to be updated, filling you in on which players are coming to Baltimore and which are leaving. Click here to see the updated Free Agent Tracker.
How do you join? Well, you go here. Then, you show up on Tuesday, September 6th at 10 p.m. for our live online draft. No fantasy experience is necessary. The first 11 people to enter will be in. If the league fills up but you still want to get in, shoot me an email at baltimorecaps@gmail.com and I’ll keep you on the waiting list for when someone inevitably backs out. I’ll be highlighting the league in my little space here from time to time, so we’ll get to meet some of the loonies who join this thing and scrutinize their questionable fantasy decisions. (Get it? It’s a wizard. Fantasy. He’s doing kind of a touchdown thing, isn’t he?)
After Tampa Bay completed their four-game sweep of the Washington Capitals 5-3 and shut the door on the Caps’ season, there was nothing left for the number one seed to do but shake hands, go home, and wonder. If nothing else, this has been a lesson for the organization and the ever-evolving fan base. Nothing is a given. Not the making the playoffs, and not winning a single game once you get there. All of the stress, frustration, jubilation and emotion that went into a roller coaster regular season was washed out the moment the puck dropped in game 1 against New York. It was a new season, the second season, and it was as feast-or-famine as the first one. Tampa Bay played a great series, which didn’t help the Capitals warring against themselves. It was over as quickly as it began. This was a great season, by many measures. It was a maddeningly underwhelming season by many others. We saw the breakout of a group of young players who got blood on their swords for the first time. We saw a team and a coach complete a bold metamorphosis that was ultimately not enough to get over the second round hump. We also saw uneven performances from people we had come to count on. We saw the 2010-2011 Washington Capitals. There has never been a Capitals team like them, and there will never be one after. Such is the NHL. Every edition of the Caps is a little bit different. Even if it seems to end the same way.
On a programming note, I’m taking vacation next week. I suggest you all do the same. We’ll get some distance, some perspective and if you have the stomach for it, enjoy the rest of the playoffs. I’ll be back and we’ll start sorting through the good, the bad, and the ugly of this bittersweet campaign. It’s been a blast experiencing it with all of you and hopefully turning a few more Baltimoreans on to hockey. Don’t fret, we get to do it again next year.

Thanks for making us the best sports blog in Baltimore. Merry Christmas to you and yours! First and foremost, happy Monday. The Ravens are 8-3 after a solid 17-10 win over the Bucs. Now it’s time for the Steelers. The Ravens week 13 matchup at home against the 8-3 Steelers is without a doubt their biggest game of the season. It’s could be the difference between division winner and wild card and will definitely play a role in fate of these teams moving into the playoffs. We are putting a great deal of attention into Steelers Week here on BaltimoreSportsReport.com. Everyday we’ll be serving up fresh content, from the smack talk between the players to a look back at this great rivalry. Here’s the Steelers Week page, we’ve also created a hashtag on twitter to follow this great Sunday Night matchup. You can tweet about Steelers Week by clicking here. Are you ready for Steelers Week?

On Friday June 25th the BSR writers and readers gathered at The Nest for Old Bay wings, beers and a game at the Yard. All was well and the O’s came back in the bottom of the 9th to defeat the Nats 7-6. Below are some pictures of the event.
Special thanks to Rebecca for taking the pictures, GableSigns for our outstanding banner and support of this event, The Nest of Pratt Street for hosting the meet up and everyone who came out to join us. Last week we offered BSR readers three Brian Matusz baseball cards, one of which is officially autographed. We have extended the giveaway through Wednesday June 23rd. Any commenter on this post (or the original) that gives a plan to fix the Orioles is entered to win the cards. The best plan wins. Good luck! It’s our first event out on the town! Come join the BaltimoreSportsReport.com bloggers for a night at Camden Yards for Orioles versus Nationals on June 25th. We’ll be meeting at The Nest on Pratt Street for 20% off food and drinks before and after the game, then going to watch the Friday night Battle of the Beltways. You can RSVP for the event on our facebook page, or just leave a comment on this post if you want to join in on the fun. The event is sponsored by our friends at GableSigns. See you at the Yard! Time for another giveaway from our friends at The Play of Day. This time we’re giving away a set of three Brian Matusz baseball cards, one of which happens to be autographed. These cards are yours if you give us your solution to the Orioles troubles in a comment to this post. Be creative, come up with a great idea for fixing the ball club and turning things around. We’re all passionate fans looking for a solution. The contest runs until midnight on June 16th. Then the BSR staff will select a winner and mail you the cards. Good luck! |
