I Dance With the Stars
Or whatever. I really have nothing left to say about this. All my memories of the events of Saturday night have been completely erased. I just watched this seconds ago, and I don't even remember what I just saw. Except I believe I wore a Mothering Hut shirt onto the...

Harrison the Breath Sniffer
Because I hate leaving loose ends untied, yesterday I chatted with Harrison, the famed Bowie Baysox intern and proprietor of Harrison's Halitosis Hut, where the raunchiest breath was to be determined during last Friday's Baysox Bad Breath Night. Harrison is a sophomore sports management major from West Virginia University (but...

Bad Breath Night at the Ballpark
I interrupt my mission of sweating while watching men in polo shirts not make facial expressions for four-plus hours to bring you this important news, from the Bowie Baysox. It's so important that I'm gonna go ahead and quote large chunks of the greatest press release ever. It's about Bad...

Sergeant Slaughter Comes to Bowie
Yesterday I called over to Bowie Baysox land, seeking to find out whether the crowd on Saturday had successfully set a world record for most people simultaneously yo-yoing. The belief in Bowie is yes, they have. I'm told that 1,496 fans registered to yo-yo together. (Remember, there were originally 1,500...

Minor League Poo Toss
First I thought Office Space night was cool. Then I was into World Record Yo-Yo night. But the Bowie Baysox honestly can't touch the West Virginia Power. Backstory: the Class A affiliates of the Milwaukee Brewers had already had regular promotions for Tuesdays (Twofer Tuesdays), Thursdays (Buck Nights) and Fridays...

Baysox Go After Another Record
The Bowie Baysox have a reputation for fearlessness in the pursuit of world records. In 2002, remember, the franchise attempted to set a record for simultaneous tooth-brushing. Then, from 2003-2005, came the annual assaults on the Guinness mark for simultaneous Whoopee Cushion release. This quest for historical significance took a...

Smash Office Equipment With the Baysox
As you've no doubt heard, the Bowie Baysox are having "Office Space Night" tonight. As the press release says, the team is "offering all area cubicle dwellers a chance to get out of the office and relieve your 'Case of the Mondays'." What this means is there will be clips...

The Brawling Potomac Nats
I'm still waiting for someone to provide the definitive account of how a game-ending double-play ball in the ninth inning of a Class A baseball game last week wound up sending two players to the hospital because of brawl-related injuries, one with a concussion "due to a severe blow to...
