It's an Edgar Allan Poe's birthday edition of the Bird Droppings. Today's Orioles tidbits: Thoughts on Chris Davis's deferred money, the Orioles go to China, Pat Connaughton still thinks of baseball, and also, there will be dingers.
There are now 76 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day, which as you may recall is the same number of trombones as led the big parade the same historic day that Gilmore, Liberatti, Pat Conway, The Great Creatore, W.C. Handy, and John Philip Sousa came to town. You know, the actual score for that song is regrettably light on trombone features.
