Thursday Bird Droppings: Where we'll take a HBP like a champ - just not at our heads

Today in the Orioles links, rounding up the reactions to Jonathan Papelbon's latest chicanery, an old Oriole reacts to the passing of Yogi Berra, Miguel Gonzalez works back towards real action, and more.

Hello, friends.

As the sun's tendrils of light sneak over the horizon this morning, they dawn upon an Orioles team that is one game below .500. Win later and they are .500 again. Win the day after that and it's an above-.500 team! It can be done! But will it? Probably not. Still, as long as those meager hopes can be nurtured - like MASN's insistence on talking about the Orioles being "only" four games out of the second wild card spot - we might as well enjoy them.
