Only a major Tiger tailspin could make a difference now, and even then we'd still have Toronto to beat (though things look a bit better this week than they have in the past.) A question for O's radio listeners: What happened to Chuck Thompson and his sidekick (*not* Tom Marr)? I thought they were one of the all-time best baseball announcing teams ever--they knew the subject, the team, gave *intelligent* descriptions and explanations, and best of all, knew when there was nothing to say, and *shut up*. I missed a lot of broadcasts the last few years, and now that I'm back, they're gone. Why? I can only get the O's after dark, on Washington (D.C.)'s WTOP, a clear-channel station, and it's not great. Does anyone know of a rogue station around New Haven, Connecticut, that carries their games?
