In Episode 7 of BMore Wired, our Baltimore sports podcast, we discuss the Baltimore Orioles in the MLB All-Star Game, Maryland basketball, UFC and more on the voice of The Baltimore Wire.

Joe Serpico and Scott Rosario are back with of BMore Wired and we are feeling lucky since we are recording Episode 7 on 7/7. Well one of us is, the other had a miserable night at the casino. That story can be heard during our weekly segment titled “Beefed It!”

The guys start the show discussing the Baltimore Orioles and the five players making it to the MLB All-Star Game: Manny Machado, Mark Trumbo, Matt Wieters, Zach Britton and Brad Brach. All are deserving of the honor, but Joe questions why Chris Davis did not make the game as well. We also make our Home Run Derby predictions and dig deeper into the Orioles recent West Coast trip in which they finished with a 4-5 record.

We get into some Maryland basketball in this episode after one of our favorite Terps, Jake Layman, signed a three-year deal with the Portland Trail Blazers, with two years guaranteed. Arguably our favorite Terrapin ever, Juan Dixon, was also relieved of his duties on Mark Turgeon’s coaching staff, but we expect him to find a job somewhere soon.

NBA free agency was a wild one to say the least. Kevin Durant is now with the Golden State Warriors and Dwayne Wade has joined his hometown Chicago Bulls. The guys have varying openings on Durant’s decision, but do agree that the mid-level guys in the NBA are getting some serious cash. Will the Cleveland Cavaliers respond? We offer one name that would be a serious game-changer to combat the Warriors’ move.

We dive into our weekly “7’s” next and we are all over the place with these seven topics in sports:

1. We start with our buddy Johnny Manziel, who is now being courted by the Arena Football League. Scott has been saying he should do so for some time now.

2. O.J. Mayo‘s suspension is up next and both say he wasted an opportunity to make some money of his own.

3. Snoop Dogg bought Kobe Bryant a car, and as Joe described it, the car is “pimp.”

4. Russell Wilson finally marries Ciara and that means he finally got to get some. The guys make fun of the couple and wonder how long it took.

5. Lionel Messi was convicted of tax evasion and was sentenced to a 21-month prison sentence, but will be placed under probation and pay a nice fine. We have a laugh at the fact that Messi was at the casino just hours before the trial.

6. The Euro final is Sunday and we make our predictions on who wins it all. We have different opinions on our winners, mostly based on the fact that Joe cannot stand the French.

7. Jon “Bones” Jones is the final discussion of the night and makes Joe’s “Beefed It!” and Crying Jordan of the Week. UFC 200 is not going according to plan and Dana White has looked pissed in recent days.

Scott’s Crying Jordan of the Week is a fantastic edit with Pat Riley and Jordan’s face perfectly meshed together after Wade’s departure from the Miami Heat.

Next: Episode 6:

That is all for this week’s episode of BMore Wired, our Baltimore sports podcast. We are expecting to have guests on in the immediate future so look out for that. Until then, cue the Delmon Young.
