BALTIMORE, Maryland February 18, 2014 - The PC police must've been aghast last night when Jimmy Fallon started entertaining the masses. The comedian and new host of the Tonight Show took no prisoners, especially among the LGBT community. Fallon's skit giving high-school yearbook awards to people in the news was hilarious, more hilarious then I expected on opening night when, one figured considering the TV network involved, the only targets of jokes would be Sen. Cruz, President Bush and folk of that type. A real comedian knows, of course, that this would get boring real fast. Apparently Jimmy Fallon doesn't want to be boring. I'll be watching tonight.
To the surprise of no one, Maryland's baseball home opener was postponed due to unplayable field conditions. It snowed again in Maryland overnight, adding to a snow cover that is about one foot in many places. February is a big snow month in Maryland and when one took a look at the Terps' schedule, one wondered if the athletic department remembered anything about that. Now, the home opener and next games are this weekend's series against Bryant College. The first game of that series is Friday at 4 pm. Warmer weather is promised between now and then, but it will take lots of work and lots of luck to get a real baseball field ready to play on by then. Maryland is 1-2 after a weekend series in Gainesville, Florida against No. 21 Florida. The Terps were shut-out on Friday, 4-0, but rebounded for a 9-7 win on Saturday, a game in which they took a 6-0 lead after five and one-half innings behind Mike Shawaryn, a 6' 4", 210 lb. Freshman from Carney's Point, New Jersey. Shawaryn hurled five and two-thirds innings of three-hit baseball to earn the win. On Sunday in a rain-shortened game, Florida hung on to win, 8-5. Sophmore Catcher Kevin Martir had four runs batted in during the series.
