How abouth them........Orioles?

I'm glad to see some new life in the Birds!!
It had gotten pretty ugly.
There is a lot of talent in their lineup but really need some bullpen help and a couple more arms in the rotation for next year. To turn this team around it has to start at the top and hiring Buck was a great first step.

I'm really excited . . .I admit that I am a Yankees fan, being born and raised in NY, BUT I am moving to Baltimore next week, and I'd love to see the Orioles give some of these other teams a run for their money. I'm seriously ready to get some season tickets . . .

Now, if they can start winning some games against the top two team in the East. My Red Sox need some help!

Don't think you will have any problems finding seats. My brother-in-law was at last nights game with his family. He texted me during the game and said the place was empty. I would like to see that come back. It is a great place to see a game. Having a winner will bring the fans back. Just like Cleveland, 10 years ago, it was a tough ticket to get.

Birdman,

We attended a game in June while we were house hunting, and I will admit it was remarkably easy and affordable to get pretty prime seats. It was my first visit to Camden Yards. The Orioles won! We had a great time, but I agree with you - - nothing like winning to fill seats. I hope they start making a comeback so more people will come out and enjoy the game. I'm planning to go a lot. I currently live in Rochester, NY - - and there's no major league baseball here . Frontier Field is a lot of fun for a triple A park, but the Red Wings have been doing terrible too . . .I'm just thrilled to be able to see AL east games now in person. . .

Winning beats losing. But I wouldn't get excited about sweeping a team (Angels) who were 3-9 in their previous twelve games. It's not uncommon in sport to get a two week emotional boost from a change in coaching styles. Then things settle back into normal. Sometimes a team with a management change finish strong (September) because they're motivated playing teams that have been eliminated. In the big, long term picture they still have a clueless owner calling the shots.

Perhaps the biggest waste in terms of a team primed to be a winner. A few key quality free agents instead of ones finishing up their career and the O's could make a run in 2011.

When Angelos goes to see his maker, St. Pete's going to be at the pearly gates and he'll ask," So Peter (and I'm not talking to myself) what exactly did you do with the Baltimore Orioles? You buried them in the ground, didn't you. Throw this worthless servant into outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

NoteThis is just a parody, I'm not really suggesting....)

Gnashing: now that's a word Orioles fans can relate to.........
