Bob - We all miss those days. For me...Thanks, all!<br /><br />Bob - We all miss those days. For me, even before I learned to appreciate a winning team, it was gone.<br /><br />Tim - You're certainly entitled to your own opinion. I know that some appreciate his unfiltered approach to game-calling, but it's a bit much for me.<br /><br />FTB - As bizarre as it is to say, I'm almost glad that they're back to losing. They went into the break with that 4-game road sweep and things got a little pie-in-the-sky for a lot of folks...possibly even our general manager, who gave lip service to the good job that Juan Samuel is doing as manager and indicated that there was no urgency in hiring a new manager this year. My worst nightmare is Juan Samuel managing this team in 2011, and every ugly loss makes that less likely. That's my silver lining in this awful season.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01334533396646438555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534235676864614634.post-57835561361280264802010-07-20T13:55:31.975-04:002010-07-20T13:55:31.975-04:00This was a great read.
I've been on an Orio...This was a great read. <br /><br />I've been on an Orioles hiatus for a while. After watching 8-plus innings of good Orioles baseball vs Detroit, they blow a two-run lead in the ninth. I spent that whole night watching that game and to have it end like that I decided that enough was enough. I decided to take my All Star break early. <br /><br />I didn't watch/listen/read about/follow the team from July 7th through July 16th in any way. For the sake of the relationship, I needed some time off.<br /><br />Of course this included watching games but also listening to sports talk radio and checking the websites for Roch Kubatko, ESPN, The Sun, WNST, Camden Chat and unfortunately your Orioles Card of the Day was included.<br /><br />But, I'm back and I enjoyed catching up on all the cards and posts. I was in a vacuum from all things Orioles for 10 days with one exception. I inadvertantly saw a headline saying that the O's beat Cliff Lee from a news site. Oh well, it was a nearly perfect run and at least it was an indication of what would turn out to be a great weekend for the O's, which I got to read about all at once.<br /><br />Now that I'm back, so are the same old 2010 Orioles with a typical 4-game losing streak to start the second half. In a sense, it's like that four game sweep of Texas never happened. For me, it kind of didn't. Since their record is still abysmal, those four wins that I didn't watch seem like just a dream.FreeTheBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09445814327855127631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534235676864614634.post-62683488629990859162010-07-20T13:42:58.782-04:002010-07-20T13:42:58.782-04:00Kevin,
Excellent post - definitely worth the wait...Kevin,<br /><br />Excellent post - definitely worth the wait and one of my favorites in quite a while.<br /><br />However, I will have to counter that I actually like Rob Dibble. He can be a little over the top at times, but I enjoy him. Then again, I have only heard bits and pieces of him during a game, mostly I know him from his talk shows - and those are two completely different animals.Rounding Thirty 3rdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826702686157258946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534235676864614634.post-67630617752469410032010-07-20T00:49:34.290-04:002010-07-20T00:49:34.290-04:00Well worth the wait, Kevin.

Two thoughts...<br />1) Eric Davis is all class.<br />2) I miss the Dave Johnson days.Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.com
