Other than the Cal Ripken reference and what everyone was wearing, that had nothing to do with the Orioles

Catchy song, though.

So am I the only one that's partially convinced that Nick Markakis is in the process of pulling a Ben Grieve?

Cold man... real cold.

Wasn't Grieve hit with injuries (to go along with his extended sophomore slump) though?

Personally, I never thought Nick was head to the level many seemed to think he was but he's definitely better than he's played so far this year.

Would the O's spend the money to sign Prince Fielder? I can only imagine him hitting to a 318 RF for 81 games. I know that it is a pipe dream, but I can dream can't I? Maybe I will make it happen in MLB 11.

So is this really what I'm to expect for the rest of my life? A culture of losing that looks like it will never get better, ever. I was 10 years old when the Orioles last went to the playoffs. Are we cursed? Who's fault is this and why is it happening to a once storied franchise? I just don't understand it!

Why is Showalter PH hitting Pie for Reimold and then have the balls to pinch-run Wieters with my ACE? Are you serious? This type of over-managing is costing us games, too. Reimold has been playing very well and after the Friday night game where he hustled down the line for an in-field single should have at the very least garnered him one damn at-bat!

I have a feeling MacPhail is going to walk away from this quietly after the season is over. Would be a shame, too, since we're in year 4 of the 5-year plan. This is such a blower I tell you. Such a blower...

They're never going to win a World Series in my lifetime, and that's even if I live for 60 more years.

While it looks bleak, I wouldn't say it's impossible. I think the Rays are the perfect model, and they even play in your own division. Bottom line, is you just need to hit on a couple of draft picks, and then you'll have a shot.
