The Blue Jays are off to a good start, hopefully we will change that today at 1pm

Oh, I just read that their public relations executive Monica Barlow lost her fight with cancer at 36. May God bless her family during this difficult time.

I saw that we won and heard Tillman looked great but what happened to make it a sad day? I pray there was no major injury!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I certainly agree that having Jimenez and Cruz signed is super exciting. I think you may be right about Hunter, and in my book Johnson had to go, but I think Balfour still had something to prove and I did believe he was healed. I would be more comfortable having him to close, but I won't complain if Hunter can do the job and we save a little money in the process. I am hoping that our treatment of Balfour did not give the O's too much of a black eye, but I think that storm is starting to blow over. I also hope that Yoon was a gem pickup, but I am not certain that being a star in Korea equates to being a star in MLB, however I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I wish we would have kept Balfour. I am still worried about not having a proven closer.

True, I just hope we find a good closer. It hurt losing all those games last year when Johnson came in.

I like your enthusiasm. I really hope this is our year. I really love it when the O's are competitive with the high dollar teams like the Yankees and Red Sox.

Any hotrodders on here into the Velocity channel? I love Graveyard Carz.

I agree but we really did needed a big bat in the lineup and if he can put up some decent numbers, it should really help us. In a division with the Yankees and Red Sox it is hard to not take a few risks to help improve the team. We were not going to overtake them without adding a few good players. With that said, I know you can become like Toronto if your not careful, but I like that we are giving it a shot.

mlbdailydish.com is reporting that not only are we close with Cruz the O's may add pitcher Ervin Santana. I guess giving up another draft pick for another proven arm is ok with me. We could always use more pitching. Maybe the O's have learned from Ozzie, picking up free agents just before the start of the season, whose price has come down a lot from what they originally wanted. I feel now like maybe I judged the O's off-season too early. Go O's!!!

That's what I am talking about! Better late than never............GO O's!!!

Jimenez! Yes, finally! Now that is what I am talking about. If we would not have kicked Balfour to the curb, I would be super psyched! Maybe we can still pick up a decent closer and I will then give the O's full credit for legitimately trying to compete in the division. I am getting happier, go O's!

The guy is a decent player, and for all the years he gave to the Yankees, I understand why they love him in New York. Outside of New York, I don't think people are making a huge deal of this. The guy is getting up in years, so his retirement was soon to be expected. Again, Jeter is a good player, especially in the post season - however he is not a dominant player. I am not going out of my way to buy tickets to see him one last time on the field.

Please tell me Orioles FO that you do know that the Yoon signing is the not answer to our problems. We need a legit innings eating starter and a reliever! Please tell me you are not done just yet with trying to fill these huge holes! Please!!!!

Depressing, why don't I learn not to click on their official site everyday praying for some kind of good news when I just keep getting disappointed over and over and over again. When will I ever learn?

agreed!

It is hard to believe this still isn't the worst Super Bowl beating in history yet, but there is still 11 mins for the Seahawks to score points.

I am glad I never had to watch my team lose 5 Super Bowls!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Broncos win the single season scoring record and get shut out in the Super Bowl. How funny is this.

On the Broncos thread they are saying this hurts worse than the Ravens loss. lol

PI on Thomas

Peyton looks bad

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssss!

DId I call that or what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
