He will take the mound for the O’s tomorrow against the Twins.
Link is broken.
Here is the story from the Oriole’s official site.

Congrats to him. What a huge deal!
I have to admit I am severely jealous though.

It seems John was a pretty good pitcher at UNC :wacko:
Pressure is on, a lot of expectations, they are hoping he is the next great Orioles hall of fame pitcher, which their have been many that came up thru the Orioles farm system. They need some hope for the future, they think he could be it.
A couple of words of advice for Mr. Maine:
“Think classy, you’ll be classy. If you win 20 in the show, you can let the fungus grow back and the press’ll think you’re colorful. Until you win 20 in the show, however, it means you are a slob.”
“You know, you never handle your luggage in the show, somebody else carries your bags. It was great. You hit white balls for batting practice, the ballparks are like cathedrals, the hotels all have room service, and the women all have long legs and brains.”
TV?

Contact ESPN to have them change the John Maine profile to read Charlotte as his college.
The link they have leads you to the UNC-Chapel Hill website. It’s an insult to John and 49er fans as he makes his MLB debut.
Go NINERS, Go JOHN MAINE!!!

Digital cable? Will Picasso’s be showing the game.

I was being sarcastic about C-SET (the solution to all our troubles).
It’s not on the air yet.

It looks those who get Twins or O’s games broadcast to their homes are in luck.
The game is scheduled for both team’s networks. FoxNt from MN & CSN from Baltimore.
done. Good thing we can contact them to correct this crap.
His ESPN profile is still not updated. Here was the response I got from support:
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us.
We appreciate you pointing this out to us. It will be passed on to the
appropriate department for review.

No reply for me either. And of course it stings to see the same on a baseball card, you would think that the teams’ media people would have provided correct info.
