Good morning Birdland,
The Orioles have done it yet again. They have made me excited to watch them play 162 games this summer despite there being plenty of evidence to suggest that they will, in fact, be quite bad.
Call me a sucker, but this franchise has my heart. Sure, they might lose 100 games. But they will also have Trey Mancini making a triumphant return from cancer, and Austin Hays suddenly turning into an absolute stud in the outfield, and Ryan Mountcastle rising to stardom, and John Means getting back into all-star form, and Tanner Scott twisting hitters in knots with his wipe-out slider.
