Getting back to the Oriole Way

Andy MacPhail grew up an Orioles fan during a time when the team achieved success by drawing talent from the minor leagues.

[Reality Check]

Yeah, the "Oriole Way".....LOSING.

This club should apply to the commissioner's office for either contraction or a move to the minors.

Does anyone believe this tribble. Oriole pitching will need to pitch approximately 1300 innining this year. With the exception of Guthrie (who got a pay cut this year), no other pitcher has shown or is capable of pitching over 200 innings/ year. Realistically, this club will end up in last place unless Toronto has a poor year. Achieving 65 wins is not out of the realm of possibilities.

[dolemite]

It's inconceivable to me that a major league club would start a season with a pitching staff such as this. Any body who thinks this club will win under the worst owner in baseball is only fooling himsef. I yearn for the days of earl weaver angelos has ruined this team!!!!

All is well!!

Remember the propaganda the billboards tell everyone ....This is BIRDTURDLAND!

The time has come for even the newsrags to admit that the Phillies have a stronger following here now.

Regardless of everything said here, yesterday was great. For the 1st time in my memory, O's fans outnumbered Spankee fans at the Yard. Booing Tex was a blast. Pitching doesn't seem great but the pieces ARE coming together. Last place isn't out of the question but it should be an over .500 team.

And if I were a Philly fan, I wouldn't gloat too much, things CAN come back to bite you.

[Could be worse]

Hey, it could be worse Baltimore (O's fans in general)

Y'all could be me, a longer suffering Pirates fan!

Sad that both teams would easily qualify as AAAA teams if there was such a class.

But I'm proud to stick to my roots damnit! And O's fans should too, stay true!

2 of the most aesthetic ballparks in all the MLB house quite possibly it's 2 worst teams (Pitt is def the worst)

I'm not going to be like all of these other York County baseball fans and suddenly slap a silly NY or B on my hat and jump from one bandwagon to another.

And Yes, the Phillies base is far deeper here, and was at very least equally deep before last year.

But again, keep in mind a lot of that fan base will be gone in 3 years.

Welcome to York, Pa. If you ever want to know who won a sports championship the year before...come to York cause that teams stuff will be splattered everywhere for a few years...
