Been some lean years lately with 100 plus season losses, without knowing how long the rebuild would take but with the addition of young talent, a few solid Vets the Os are back and hopefully Angelos will keep this team together for awhile ....tonight AL East Champs, 30 year lease signed for Orioles at Camden Yards, 100 win tonight, and Triple A Norfolk won thier Division....not a bad night 
....tonight AL East Champs, 30 year lease signed for Orioles at Camden Yards, 100 win tonight, and Triple A Norfolk won thier Division....not a bad night I think the O's last 100 win season was in 1980. Congrats to the O's. A tremendous achievement. -- AlBeen some lean years lately with 100 plus season losses, without knowing how long the rebuild would take but with the addition of young talent, a few solid Vets the Os are back and hopefully Angelos will keep this team together for awhile
Thanks, Mark. Congrats on the Phillies getting in. IMO, it's going to be tough for anyone to get past the Braves. Their line-up is almost unprecedented in their offensive capabilities. Going to be a really interesting playoffs. Good luck to your boys. -- Al
I could live with an I-95 WS. After all, Philly and B-mer are kissing cousins. -- Al
Thanks, Brad. Been a long wait to get back in the hunt, win or lose. -- Al

I’m shocked but not surprised. There’s a new boss coming in, David Stearns, and although he doesn’t officially start until tomorrow I’m sure he told Cohen he wanted to hire his own manager.
I like Buck but he didn’t have a great year of managing. He favored veterans over rookies and did nothing to respond to all the times the players were hit this year. Alonso was hit a ridiculous amount of times this year and there was no retaliation. That can’t go on.
Craig Counsell is a possibility but he may want to stay in Milwaukee even though he’s unsigned.

Schilling leaked the news against the family's wishes that he had brain cancer afew days ago, now he has passed away, shocklngly fast, he was just on TV during a broadcast a several weeks ago.
One of the many heroes of the 2004 ALCS.
Very, very sad.
Watched parts of the different games and was impressed with the large and enthusiastic crowds, with the notable exception of the Tampa Bay game. Tampa was only able to draw 19,000 to the stadium. Large areas of empty seats. Tampa does nothing but win and still can't draw fans. -- Al
