Been Awhile So Let's Catch Up....

Well I've been away from my blog and the internet in general for a bit so here's a run down of what's been up:

- I'm finally working again! Albeit not the greatest job ever, but hey $ is $. So yeah I'm back at Kohl's again, working in the new store opening in Severn on Quarterfield Road and yet aptly called the Glen Burnie Store. While I enjoy the company itself, the store has become a quagmire very quickly and hopefully this too shall pass.

- Wow the Ravens season has been a debacle to say the least. The offense is as pathetic as usual, the defense has been decimated by injuries, and yet again Matt Stover is the MVP of the team. Not to beat a dead horse, but I'm sick of this same old story from them.

- Oriole prospects are really impressing in the Arizona Fall League. 1st Round Pick Matt Wieters is shaking off the rust rather well and hitting for some pop, Jeff Fiorentino is back in the AFL and will hopefully build on a solid year and gain needed momentum for Spring Training, but the biggest surprise is Jeremy Arrieta our 5th Round Pick. A consensus 1st Round Pick to begin the year, his numbers tailed off a bit in his last year of college but were still pretty damn good but the biggest distraction was his agent's contract demands and we all know that can be none other then Scott Boras. All this allowed Arrieta to slip until to the 5th Round where the O's selected him and got him signed before the midnight signing deadline. All young Jeremy has done in the AFL is thrown 10 innings of ball with 8 K's and hasn't given up a run. His fastball is up in the mid 90's and his slider is already being touted as MLB caliber. He's been the talk of Arizona and folks in Baltimore better remember the name of Arrieta, because he's coming sooner then later!

Thats about it for this installment of The River of Deceit, so catch all my peeps later on the flip side!
