Official 2012 Baltimore Orioles Thread

I completely forgot about that. What time is the game?

3 PM, I believe tickets are still available.

If you've got Direct TV and are outside the DC area, free MLB Extra Innings for the first 10 days of the sason. Woot! GO ORIOLES!

Nats who?

Yep, I love the free MLB Extra Innings to start the season. Unfortunately, the 10 days is about as long as the Os will be in the playoff hunt. I've been a fan since I was in elementary school living in VA but it's been a long, rough decade + of poor teams out of the playoffs by the end of the 1st month. I guess I can root for anybody but the yankees again this season. Go D-backs, perhaps?

Saw that the O's lost to a community college. Way to go team.

Nothing will change until Angelos is long gone. Hopefully that day will come sooner than later.

The Tides ended up beating the O's 6-4; however, Showalter started to pull most of the starters in the 5th once the rain came in. Machado looked impressive at the plate, but not so much in the field, impeding a runner even though the umps completely blew the call.

O's, Strohs, and Natty Bohs!!!

I can't wait to get some Flying Dog Brews at the game now. Best value because they are pretty strong

I'm stuck at work but I feel a sore throat coming on......around 3PM or so.

Wait what?!

Wait what?!

They teamed up this year. I hope they are selling Raging *****, my favorite beer right now.

Nats fans' prediction: O's are not nearly as bad as the experts say. Big bounce backs from Matusz and some of the other young pitching. Team is in the 75-81 win season range. Nothing like 100 losses.

We'll see. I don't think we'll lose 100 games, so anything less than 90 would be a plus IMO.

No chance they finish .500

Ain't happening captain, but appreciate your optimism

Maybe I'm just too jaded at this point.

[fullnelson9999]

Maybe it's just me, but I haven't given up on the young pitchers on this team. How weird would it be if every pitcher failed to live up to their potential?

Naw, I won't have any of it. I bet this year the young staff shines.
