Iggy’s Baltimore Sports Report – April 22, 2014

Ravens:
NFL Schedule expected to be released Wednesday night. My money is on a prime time game IN Pittsburgh… Some analysts suggest the Ravens may trade down in the draft to get more picks… Rolando McClain tried coming back but retired again… Rice has reported in better condition, apparently beating his weight problem from last year (Bad Iggy). I still expect him to be suspended between 2 and 4 games. Ravens would do well to “steal” a page from Pittsburgh book, and proactively suspend Rice, hoping that the league sees our punishment as just and not impose a potentially stiffer sanction.

Orioles:
O’s are nearing the end of a overdose stretch of divisional games, toying with the .500 mark… Division tightly packed with all teams within a few games of each other, and this could stay fairly tight most of the season… Machado started rehab games in extended spring training and has been assigned to Frederick.

Alouettes
Als have signed Chad Johnson, who sat out all of 2013.

Mariners
Mariners move to 2-0 with 65-18 win over Atlanta. Next game is May 3 at York.

Blast:
Nothing to report.

First game in Sunday, April 27 at Boston.

Wizards (See website for more details):
Wizards finished season in the 5 spot, playing the Bulls. They are up 1-0 in a best of 7 series.

Columbus scored in the 90th minute to force a tie with United (2-2-2). Next game is Saturday against Dallas.


What do you want to see in the Ravens report? What should be scrapped? Actually, never mind. No one is reading this anyway so you probably won’t know the difference. Send an email to iggy at tealdragon.net. Thanks!
