Recommended reading:Part 1
Part 2
As I've said before, the Orioles have always been MY BOYS so I'm trying desperately to do that rosey goggles thing and see them for what they are in a positive light: The Bad News Bears if you replaced all the children with goofy looking white teenagers and Hispanic guys. I'm hoping for some karmic retribution for that 69 World Series loss in the form of a Miracle Season where the Orioles win a hundred games out of nowhere and make it deep into the playoffs.
I will settle for Albers and Sarfate being adopted by a homeless guy. This is Birdland~! after the jump.

MarkakisRedVelvet: Hey guys, sorry I'm late, I would've driven a car to the stadium but Baltimore only gives me enough money to finance and maintain a 10-speed bike. Do you know when we're supposed to- |

SerenityNow: Kinda sorta! I won a raffle! They charged one dollar per ticket, but if you paid TEN dollars they'd give you the length of your arm in tickets! That deal is the money melon, and here I am! |

Chris!: Hi, my name is Chris! But you can call me Chris! In two seasons I have one career extra base hit! |

MarkakisRedVelvet: I assume you guys are here for the rebuilding. Uh, you should get your bearings pretty quickly, it only took me a year to go from promising young rookie to "good player desperately needed elsewhere." Just be careful out there and make sure to wear non-slip shoes. |

PacmanJones: ay, how many games i gotta play before i can go somewhere else |

MarkakisRedVelvet: oh wow, you can actually play baseball? Well, I'd say to give them fifty or sixty quality games and you'll end up on the ass end of the Brewers or something. Just don't say you'll "play well eventually" or they'll keep you forever. |

MarkakisRedVelvet: Boston was going to send us Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz, Johnny Damon, Hanley Ramirez, and like three different Papelbons for Daniel Cabrera, but Cabrera told Peter Angelos he'd "slept well the night before" and Angelos called off the deal. |

MarkakisRedVelvet: Also don't be Greek, that will keep you in Baltimore FOREVER. |

MarkakisRedVelvet: We're going to make this work. We're going to make this work. We're going to make this work. I can hit 100 homeruns and steal 200 bases, right? All I have to do is learn how to pitch. That's the ticket. |

MarkakisRedVelvet: Hey, didn't we get a bunch of pitchers in that Tejada trade? Whatever happened to those guys? |

three different papelbons is a pretty sweet deal.
"Hi, my name is Chris! But you can call me Chris!"

Im surprised that Daniel Cabrera ever even lands in his bed when he lays down. I would have called off that deal too if he showed that kind of control at some point in his career.

That is the most accurate representation of Chris Roberson ever. I hope he makes more appearances.
My favorite line: "Biography & Career Highlights: There is no biography information available for this player. Pros! Has great work ethic! Cons! Looks like this!"

b, i know you love the orioles, i was wondering if you've got a good idea about nolan reimold. he plays right field and has been said to play like nick swisher. we went to the same high school - though he graduated a year before i was a freshman, but he used to come to our winter practices. does he have a shot to make it to the bigs this year?

Opening day is only 3 days away! I can’t wait to see the Baltimore Orioles play Tampa Bay Rays on Monday, March 31, 2008 at Camden Yards. Don’t miss this great experience! Check out the video I found on Cal Ripken talking about Baltimore…
