This is the Aubrey Huff that Baltimore ex-decision-maker Mike Flanagan thought he signed. Huff is crushing everything he sees. Last week he had two-homer game against Kansas City, giving him 17 for 2008, surpassing last year’s total. I say go ‘head, Aubrey. Keep hittin’ em. Suddenly, a guy who looked like a cement block around the [...]

Something’s been on my mind since spring training. It appears to be a pretty touchy subject in Baltimore. So touchy that the Baltimore Sun doesn't look like it wants to come near it. But I’m going to drop the stinkbomb and ask: What the hell is Mike Flanagan doing? He still has a badass title - executive [...]

Couple more odds and ends this evening... Orioles executive VP Mike Flanagan admitted he wouldn't have signed Miguel Tejada to a six-year deal if he knew the shortstop's proper age. But he still would've signed him (if possible). People are debating whether ESPN ambushed Tejada with his birth certificate...of course they did.

Who would have thought that the chaotic and controversial relay of the Olympic torch last week through the streets of London, Paris and San Francisco could have an unexpected backlash for the apparel industry?
