From Harford Community College’s athletics department:

Santiago Notches 8K’s in First Start; Harford Baseball Blanks Quinsigamond, 12-0

BEL AIR, Md.—Sophomore Rich Santiago (York, Pa./Southern York/CCNY) was utterly dominant in his first start on the mound as the Harford baseball team blanked Quinsigamond, 12-0 (7 inn.) on Tuesday at Harford Baseball Field. The sophomore-transfer struck out eight batters and allowed just two hits in six innings, while the Fighting Owl (8-5) offense combined for 15 hits against the Wyverns (1-2).

An earlier version of this story incorrectly identified Bel Air Carpet, and not Standard Carpet in Bel Air, as the business that was closing.

Bel Air Carpet owner Ray Marshall indicates his business is not closed and is not planning to close.

Wasting Time: Kitty Vs. Printer

Since last week’s Cut This with the cat wearing the fruit helmet was so popular, I decided to follow it up with a Wasting Time featuring a cat. Check out the video and find the answer to the age old question: who would win in a fight, a cat or a printer?

Cute cat, and ruthless printer. I have days where I want to fight my printer. This cat has the right idea.

Wasting Time: Geraldo Rivera Vs. Hurricane Ike

I know you’ve all thought to yourselves at one point or another, “who would win in a fight: Geraldo Rivera or a hurricane?” Since Geraldo has a long history of thinking he’s a tough guy when it comes to hurricanes and other severe weather, it’s no surprise he attempted to go toe-to-toe with Hurricane Ike. So, for this edition of Wasting Time we produce the evidence showing ultimately who wins.

There you have it, even though Geraldo sports a pretty tough mustache, he’s no match for the weakest wave from a strong hurricane. Tune in next year when Geraldo looks to redeem himself by taking on an earthquake, live from the fault line.

Introductions

Dagger: The double-edged blade. We have built and launched this blog as an experiment, and test case for what might happen when we distill years of conversation into published material. It is our hope not to fire missives from the distance, but to get up close to each subject; so close that we might twist a blade in its side.

We will publish news, rumor, opinion, style, substance, informal correspondence. We are a group of like-minded writers, musicians, photographers and agitators living in and around Baltimore; we are The Dagger and you can’t mess with us.
