Hello, friends.
There are now two months and three weeks remaining until the next scheduled Orioles game, which is Opening Day. It’s a mere month and five days wait for pitchers and catchers to report to Sarasota. This number is small enough where it starts to feel less likely that the ownership-imposed lockout of MLB players will resolve in time, but maybe there will be a pleasant surprise.
It’s too bad there’s not a smooth path towards the coming season, because after yesterday, baseball is next up in Birdland. The final nail was put in the coffin of the Ravens season with their loss in their last game yesterday, and as for that segment of Orioles fans who are fans of the soon-to-be-renamed Football Team, well, you don’t need me to tell you anything.
