Iggy’s Baltimore Sports Report – April 19, 2013

Ravens:
Rolando McClain (1 year, $700k), who was reported to have more baggage than BWI, will compete for a starting linebacker spot… 2013 schedule finally release witht he Ravens opening on the road in Denver, as anticipated… Draft starts this Thursday, as the Ravens look to find more diamonds in the rough.

Orioles:
The Orioles won 2 of 3 from Tampa before starting their first interleague series of the season against the Dodgers. The O’s won in dramatic fashion last night, with a 10th inning, walk off grand slam, as the O’s are playing .500 ball, as they continue to be their own worst enemy. Season is still young, and things are expected to improve.

Alouettes
Nothing to report.

Blast:
Blast summer camp schedule released.

Chesapeake Bayhawks: (Home games at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium)
Season opens on April 27 in Florida against Rochester. Single game tickets went on sale this past Thursday.

Charm:
The Charm will open the 2013 season at Jacksonville on May 25.

Capitals (See website for more details):
The Capitals had their 8 game win streak snapped, but still lead the division by 2 poitns, with 4 games left, with the number 3 seed on the line. Failure to hold the division could drop them down to the eighth spot… or worse.

Wizards (See website for more details):
Season has mercifully ended.

Mystics (See website for more details):
Season opens May 27.

D.C.United (See website for more details):
United (1-4-1) lost to New York on Saturday. Next game is Sunday against Philadelphia, at home… The United has ruled out any potential move to Baltimore, although they are starting to evaluate 2 Maryland locations, outside of DC, as they continue to get screwed in their negotiations with DC.


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!
