Friday Bird Droppings: The Orioles finally play ball today

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

Hey, you know what I like? Baseball. And today, dear readers, there are finally going to be actual Orioles baseball players taking part in an actual baseball game again, more than five months — and one long, aggravating lockout — after they last took the field for a competitive game.

It doesn’t matter that it’s an exhibition game that won’t be televised, or that the Orioles’ starter will be non-roster invitee Spenser Watkins, or that the players we’ve heard of will probably be out by the fifth inning. Baseball is happening, people! That’s so much better than the alternative.
