SOME QUICK THOUGHTS:
-Even given Daniel Cabrera’s history; he should not have been thrown out of last night’s game. Last night should have been an example of an umpire deciding NOT to make an ejection because he doesn’t want to impact the outcome of the game. The outcome of last night’s game was directly affected by an umpire’s decision. Going forward, Daniel needs to understand that his reputation precedes him.
-The Adam Terry injury is a MESS for the Ravens. With the O-Line remaining as it is right now, I think this is a 6-10 team. If they can somehow find some O-Line help/health and one of the QB’s works; they could be as much as a 10-6 team.
-Thank GOD Sean Mosley is through clearinghouse. I am breathing again. Now they need to get the Goins and Jin Soo Kim situations figured out. Michigan State is licking their chops. (Although Patrick Stevens is right; the Terps SHOULD be playing Georgetown.)
Talk to you tomorrow.
