What a difference a week makes. Last week was hot but not that bad. Last night was almost unbearable for me. It was hot but really humid and it sapped my strength by the third case. Sales were a little slower and so was I. The other problem since I tired so quickly was that I couldn't double ( take two cases at one time ) So I had to go back and get beer twice as often slowing me even more Some of you were like Jimmy what's up dude?? Not me for sure!! I was not doing well. I feel I'm in fairly decent shape but I had to sit down with a few of you until my heart slowed down. It was definitely a labor of love last night.

As tired as I was, I was really excited by all of your feed back about the site!!! I had just walked in when this young lady walked up to me gave me a hug and said "I loved your picture of my family. It was the first one we had ever taken". She went on to tell me how she had emailed it across the country to all of her friends and relatives. Unbelievable! I told her and all of you too not to copy the picture and email it but email your friends a link to that page and so they can enjoy the site also. What a concept!!

I was even more surprised by the number of you that heard me on Kirk, Mark, and Lopez, on

I had met and served them at the Orioles games for a number of years. I also hung with Stash & Mark Ondayco on Opening Day this year. I told Mark about the new site I was building. He said to let him know when it was up. Anyway, Just trying to get the word out about the site I called them last Tuesday mourning. By total luck I got through on the phone, and then I got past one of their screeners by telling them I was Jimmy the Man and I wanted to talk about the Ravens. They put me through!!! We had a small conversation on the air about the site as they looked over it. It was very cool!!! Well little did I know how many of you IN MY SECTION ALONE were listening. At least a dozen of you said you heard me and I one guy said "I heard you on the radio, You have a lot of talent" Too Cool!!!!! But wait there's more!!! I had 189 unique visitors to the site Tuesday and over 6000 hits (different pages viewed) Unbelievable!!!!!!!! I want to thank Kirk, Mark, and Lopez, for putting me on and as Lopez said allowing yet another act of self less promotion or something like that. It was very cool. I plan to call them Monday or Tuesday mourning to tell them and all of you that the new pics are up. I think I was a little more diversified with my pictures this time but you don't call me Jimmy THE MAN for nothing!!!!!

A last word about the game, I saw few of you I didn't see in the first game but I hope to see you all for opening day. After reviewing some tape obviously we had some ups and some downs but considering what we have to work with I think we are going to be ok. I expect some unexpected losses but I also expect a few upsets because face it we are going to be the under dog all year which is not a bad thing. So let's try not to get too worried about our record and come out and support the team while having a little fun.

My wife has never been to pro football game and my brother would love to go to a game too, so if any of you have any extra tickets (my section only) to any games email me. theMan@JimmytheMan.com I am more than willing to pay for the tickets.

Yours truly

Jimmy The Man
