That pretty much sums up the past 10 years lol

[cursona pirate]

Hope. is. lost.

[codizzle]

And they lost to the Norfolk Tide today... Smh.. I'm beginning to wonder of they could even pull .500 in AAA ball

[Gordo52]

I dont want to watch it and support what PA is doing, but who am I kidding. I can't and wont be able to resist it, well for the first month any way.

[codizzle]

Remember when I said the O's lost to some team called the manatees a couple days ago?

Yea it's a community college in Florida...

U got to be kidding me

[FerrariFan87]

We're a joke, guys... it's going to be a funny year.

Love how you guys are taking this way out of proportion. You do realize this was a charity game right? The Orioles even gave the other team a pitcher because of this being for charity.

I'm excited though that Jake Arrieta is the opening day starter on Friday, really hope we can finally have some pitching after all these years.

Community college.. Like I could go dust off my glove and probably make the team community college

[bdravens]

So...as negative as I've been about this team, it's impossible not to be excited about opening day. Any predictions on their record this year? I say we start off hot again, like every other year, starting off 10-4. But I think it will be just like every other year as well in the end, with the final record being 69-93. (But hey, not 100 losses!!!!!)

I'm just saying we're a joke in general... the Manatees game is just further proof of that; I'm not saying it's an indication of how good/bad we are.

67-95 (worst case scenario)... 70-92 (best case scenario).

[codizzle]

I don't see how this team is better than last years team So I'd say right around 90-95 losses but I like showalter So I'll say somewhere around

74-77 wins maybe ha

[Gordo52]

Almost time! I dont know why I'm excited? .......damn Orioles.

On the brightside baseball can get over with and then the Ravens can come back!

[RavenRage92]

Opening Day! Hell Yea! I'll be there

Ive missed baseball hah

[gabefergy]

Best case scenario is a .500 season if the pitching actually comes together. The offense should be decent, but the starting pitching is what worries me.

[gabefergy]

Woohoo Kakes with the first homer of the season. O's up 2-0!

[JO_75]

Nick Markakis with a TRIPLE, Orioles lead 4-0.

[JO_75]

Top of the 9th Orioles Lead 4-2 1 with 2 outs remaining for the Orioles to win this game. Of course typical O's fashion they give up runs late.

1 down, 161 to go.

That 9th inning drama needs to stop, though. We've had enough years of blowing leads late.

Kinda reminded me of watching a Ravens game last year, we do so well in one half and come out with the lead and then in the 4th quarter it comes crashing down and in the end they somehow find a way to win.

[bdravens]

On track to go 162-0! World Series bound!!

[BirdWatcher]

And the Skankees lost. 1st place!

So did the Red Sox!

I wish they would have kept Jake Arrieta in the game longer, and kept him in for the 8th inning. He was doing a great a job, would have loved to seen him pitch a no hitter on opening day.

[cursona pirate]

Did anyone hear about the batman streaker run on the field during the game?
