House Cleaning

The Orioles begin the exhibition season today. Can’t watch it though as MASN chooses only to broadcast three games before the season opener on March 31. Didn’t Comcast used to broadcast about half the exhibition games? Nice way to drum up interest for a season that needs as much as possible. [...]

I checked out the Lake Clifton boys basketball team on Thursday as the Lakers visited Poly.

Lots to like after watching Herman “Tree” Harried’s kids blister up and down the court. They play with a passion at both ends of the court you just don’t [...]
