SPORTS WITHOUT CHARM

Washington Capitals forward Brooks Laich will be throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at Monday night’s Orioles game against the New York Yankees. Laich, who is named after the O’s legendary Hall of Fame third baseman Brooks Robinson, seems confident in his abilities to…
I’ve been a nervous wreck about game seven all day. Suddenly, I’m feeling much more confident. Orioles centerfielder Adam Jones traveled with the Ravens all postseason and they came back from New Orleans with the Lombardi Trophy. Tonight at 8 PM, the Capitals host the Rangers for game seven of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series…
Washington Capitals forward Brooks Laich had a chance to meet legendary Orioles Hall of Fame third baseman Brooks Robinson and he posted this picture to his Twitter followers. I’m not sure how Brooks met Brooks — perhaps a Brooks convention (BrooksCon?) — but it’s great to see Robinson doing well.
This week on the BSR Podcast, former Orioles catcher Chris Hoiles joins the show to talk some O’s baseball and discuss his work with the Gold Glove Sports Academy. The gang previews Saturday’s AFC divisional playoff game between the Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos and looks at Maryland’s tough loss to Florida State. Join Zach,…
The NHL lockout is looming. When the clock strikes midnight on Sunday morning, the current collective bargaining agreement expires and according to TSN’s Bob McKenzie, the players association and owners aren’t “even in the same universe.” But that isn’t stopping retired Olympian/Baltimore native/friend of Ray Lewis/Subway endorsor Michael Phelps from picking up the sport.

Washington Capitals left winger Jason Chimera will be throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at Sunday’s Orioles/Nationals game. Caps PR guy Sergey Kocharov tweeted the news to fans in the DMV of both teams. More baseball related hockey news… Washington Center Mathieu Perrault was spotted sporting a Yankees hat at the D.C. United game this…
The 2011-12 Capitals were as frustrating as a hockey team can be. From night to night they vacillated between inspiring play and sheer disorganized chaos. They were a team that played for two head coaches, three starting goaltenders, and were without two of their stars for long stretches of the campaign. And yet, they not only made…
With the Nationals on a 10 game home stand and MLB.tv blacking out Orioles games, I didn’t get to see too much of the O’s this week. From what I did see, Brian Matusz got a raw deal due to some predictably poor defense in Anaheim, Wei Yin Chen had yet another very strong outing,…
The Washington Capitals will take another day trip to Baltimore’s 1st Mariner Arena this year for the 2012 Baltimore Hockey Classic. The arena should be more prepared this year, knowing how slushy the ice was at last year’s inaugural event. The Caps will take the ice on September 26th. After last night’s series-evening 2-1 win over Boston,…
