Hightopps to host O's chat, first MASN TV game March 7

Are you ready for Orioles baseball on television? Your wait is almost over. And you can share the MASN broadcast of the Yankees-O's game on Monday, March 7 with other baseball fans at Hightopps Backstage Grille in Timonium. Join MASNsports.com's Steve Melewski, Jen Royle and yours truly at Hightopps at 6 p.m. for an hour of spirited baseball talk. We'll answer your questions about the 2011 Orioles, give you our thoughts on the upcoming season, ask some trivia questions and give away some prizes. Then, at 7 p.m., we'll settle back in our seats - with some tasty grub and a cold beverage in front of us - and enjoy MASN's first O's spring training broadcast of the season. It's been a long, cold winter in Baltimore and now we'll have more than hot stove chatter to keep us warm (though they'll still be plenty of that until the Orioles' April 4 home opener). There's no better way to enjoy the first televised game of the season than with friends and Hightopps is a great venue to catch a game. Hightopps is located at 2306 York Road, just north of the TImonium Fairgrounds. There's plenty of free parking and the atmosphere in the room where our gathering will be held is decidedly family-friendly. Our first offseason chat last week was a big hit - we had some great questions and an enthusiastic crowd. If you've got any questions, leave them in the comments section and I'll be happy to answer them. Hope to see you there!
