Decade




Dear Baltimore Orioles: 10 years ago today, our relationship ended when it was announced that #9 would no longer be gracing CF. It was a visceral reaction on my part. I admit that. I was over it many years ago. You've had PLENTY of time to win me back. Sure, you've made some gestures; various uniform and personnel changes; but one thing hasn’t changed… winning. You’re organization is severely damaged from top to bottom and until you are willing to acknowledge that, nothing will change. A cartoon bird can’t throw a 100 mph fastball or hit .300. Don’t turn into the Cubs; to paraphrase Joseph Kennedy, “Show me a [loveable] loser and I’ll show you a loser.”
