Sports update

There were no soccer camp pics b/c camp ended in kind of a bust...It was probably a combination of the heat, some kid that was picking on O and the fact that he doesn't like soccer all that much but O left early the last day.  The good news is he's still OK about doing fall soccer league and we went out today and had a semi-successful practice.  Tricky this whole business -- I don't want to force him but he does say of his own free will that he wants to be in the league so I figure he'll like it more if he has some skills.  True, forcing him to do push ups til he pukes is a bit extreme considering the game is mostly lower body but it's more of a core work-out really.

The O's are in free-fall mode.  They've been in last place for a few weeks now so it's not so bad.  The bottom line is, they're on pace to equal the 70 win prediction I made early on.  Vegas was saying 62.  They still showed more fight this year than most were expecting; the two big offseason trades paid off handsomely and Matt Wieters, last year's number 1 pick, is looking like the second coming of Johnny Bench.  Check out the numbers from A and AA ball this season.
