by F.J. DelgadoStephen Colbert is one of my favorite personalities on Comedy Central, quality cable programming that has brought us such great works of comedic art such as Chappelle's Show and The Daily Show.
The Colbert Report recently blasted the U.S. baseball team's failure to advance in the recently concluded World Baseball Classic. Part of the U.S. meltdown was losing to Team Canada, which beat the U.S. 8-6.
It was Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect Adam Loewen who shut out the U.S. for more than three innings and helped embarrass the Yankee-dominated starting lineup. Loewen pitched for the Frederick Keys last season, and Colbert highlighted this fact quite humorously toward the end of his bit.
I'll be reporting on the Keys during the 2006 Season as part of my new gig working for The Orioles Hangout. Loewen won't be there in 2006, but you never know who the next Orioles badass may be...

As a ninja, I do not have much time because im so busy kicking ass. During my down time, I will contribute to this fine blog. The Daily Show and Colbert Report provide a classic 1-2 punch of comedic programming. I can't lie its pretty bad ass that Colbert referenced the Frederick Keys Single A Baseball team even by my standards. You can be sure that I will be in the stands one day this season at Harry Grove Stadium with FJDelgado. Oh by the way, I just played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun. I won....again. 60% of the time, it works every time.
How can a team have a 2&1 record the same as the US and Mexico and not adavnce to the next round ? That's why I hate tournament play . The best teams rarely win !
