He was out. He was in. And now, late on a Tuesday evening in Annapolis, William M. Rickman Jr. was out again. In one week, the owner of Ocean Downs racetrack went from being a favorite in a bill lawmakers were writing on how to award licenses for slot machines to being the outcast. It was a dispiriting reversal of fortune after a summer of campaigning for gambling on the Eastern Shore. As Rickman saw it, he had been given a mountain and he had climbed it, and now, inside of days, it had been flattened.

AT LAST. Three Democrats have said out loud they are ready to run for president in 1992. You know what that means.It means the political handicappers have to start giving odds.Paul Tsongas. 10,000 to 1 against winning the presidential nomination, 1,000 to 1 against winning the vice presidential. He has never run for national office before. Track record is very important. About 75 percent of all presidential nominees ran and lost before they ran and won the nomination.Some critics say Tsongas' liability is that he is a liberal Democrat from Massachusetts of Greek extraction.

The Dark Horse Saloon on Main Street in Bel Air kept the Baltimore Ravens love coming again on Sunday afternoon. Jacoby Jones, the Ravens star kick returner and wide receiver, arrived at the Dark Horse to meet an appreciative crowd of Harford County fans.

Southwestern-themed bar Dark Horse Saloon and Irish Pub Finnegan's Wake, the improbably conjoined bars at the former Canton Arts & Entertainment complex, have switched owners. The pub is poised to close afterSt. Patrick's Day, says Marc McFaul, who after nine months at the helm sold the business to Kenny Der, a regular DJ at Dark Horse. Finnegan's is likely to be turned into an extension of the Southwestern theme at Dark Horse next door. The switch gives McFaul's tenure the sprawling complex's second-longest run. It lasted a little over five months as Canton Arts and Entertainment , which at one point included a bar, an oyster bar and a restaurant.  CAE opened in September 2009 and closed the next March.

When the question about this year's Opening Day starter is asked, Orioles manager Buck Showalter stiffens, then shakes his head. Showalter doesn't understand the label - or the importance - placed on naming an Opening Day starter. That person is only guaranteed to pitch in that slot once, and the success of the Orioles' pitching rebuilding project will be dictated not by the development of one pitcher, but the entire rotation. Since the Orioles dealt right-hander Jeremy Guthrie, who was the team's Opening Day starter three of the past four years, to Colorado in February, the question has come up a lot. Three weeks into spring training, the inquiry is more appropriate.

Delaware's 19-6 rout of Detroit Mercy on Saturday kicked off the college lacrosse campaign, and ESPN analyst and former Syracuse midfielder Paul Carcaterra participated in a few conference calls Tuesday to prepare for the coming season. Carcaterra found some time in his packed scheduled to discuss interesting storylines. Were you surprised by the decision by Syracuse to join Pittsburgh in moving from the Big East to the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2014?

Here's the part where you can tell me how wrong (or how right!) I was on a review. This week's bar review is about Canton's Combination Irish Pub-BBQBar, otherwise known as Finnegan's Wake and Dark Horse Saloon. While both bars have their strengths, " neither place is yet up to the standards of some of the better bars just a block or two away . " The rest of the review is here . Agree, or disagree? Have your say in the comments.

Every team has its guy — a fringe candidate it believes should be recognized as an All-Star. For the Rays, it's Kyle Farnsworth, the journeyman reliever manager Joe Maddon refuses to call his closer, even though he entered the weekend 15 of 16 in save situations. Maddon says the job description is "relief pitcher extraordinaire. " The guy for the Giants is 33-year-old Ryan Vogelsong. He opened the season at Triple-A Fresno but has outpitched Tim Lincecum since taking Barry Zito 's spot in the rotation.

I read the article by Annie Linskey in The Baltimore Sun: "Lesser-known candidates also want to be governor" (July 10). Elections cycles usually seem just like a redundant washing of political laundry, with one of two choices, the Republican or the Democrat being "pressed" into service for the next four years. I hear the two major candidates profess their love for the state and that they will work hard. Suppose for a moment that a lesser-known dark-horse candidate would run and say if he's elected Governor, he will give a small cubicle to Bob Ehrlich Jr. and Martin O'Malley in an anteroom to the Governor's Office.
