Hello, friends.
There are now 52 days until the next Orioles game. Just eight days stand between now and when pitchers and catchers report to spring training to mark the beginning of baseball-ish activities for the year.
It has been 13 days since Mike Mussina was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame and the Orioles have not announced any plans to retire his jersey or add his statue to Camden Yards.
As the world of Baltimore sports goes, things don’t really get a lot worse than when the most recent championships in both baseball and football were won by Boston teams.
