I cannot stand Nick Swisher.  And he gets injured alot.

in the last 7 seasons the most games he has missed is 14.  I can't stand him either. I am just giving you players that the Orioles could have potentially signed to make them a better team.

I guess my point is that I think they're already a good team.  I am sure they can be better, but I know that they'll make moves during the season if they have too.

There's a company, Hamsterdam Clothing, that makes a really great Adam Jones shirt right now.

I'm sure most of you know about Protect This Yard as well.

He was the rare Yankee that I actually liked.  Just a differenct breed than the rest of the team.

I guess it's too late to expect that any opening day tix will be available for the public.  No way I'm paying $110 for SRO tix.

I've partied with The Swish.  Good dude, but don't let your ladies go anywhere near him.  He's THAT irresistible.

Not this year.  I always watch it at home anyway.  I"m going on Sunday.  I went one year.  That was enough for me.

HAPPY FIRST ORIOLES GAME EVERYONE!

It's the free game on mlbtv.com today!

WHy do they have all these games during the day? I won't be able to watch as I will be at work.

Getting back to the ravens game and the orioles bs.  They have a road game in tampa on thursday and they play a day game in baltimore on Friday.  The twins have game on thursday and have to fly in and play during the day Friday. The orioles excuses for not moving the game are total lies.

I paid 15 dollars for opening day SRO tickets.  If I knew I could have gotten 110 dollars each for them I probably would have sold them.

They are playing the White Sox the day of the reported game.  The NFL wanted the Ravens to open on Thursday.  Both teams have night games that Wednesday and are then traveling.  If you're going to complain about it, at least get the teams straight.

And the NFL could have let the Ravens open at home on Sunday.  But they didn't.  Because they're bullies.  The "storied history" of opening the season on Thursday is not that old.

I am talking about what they are doing this week.  Playing game on Thursday on the road and then coming home on friday and playing during the day.  I have the teams right.  I am saying they are doing exactly what they say they can't do this week.  Angelos is full of shit.  He stopped it because he likes disappoint people.  That is what makes him happy.
As for the NFL their TV contract is up after this season so they need big ratings.

They are opening on the road because the Orioles have to alternate opening at home now with the Nationals.  Next year, the Orioles will open at home and the Nationals will open on the road.

I don't see how this relates to what happened with the NFL and the Ravens.

and doing that now when it's the beginning and doing it in September when you're tired are two different things.  They have a DAY game on Thursday.  They have a NIGHT game the night of September 4th.  Totally different.  Twins also have a DAY game Thursday.

And he did not disappoint me by standing up to the NFL.  I don't think the Orioles should have to play tired to accommodate the Ravens who could just as easily have opened up their season on Sunday night or Wednesday.

well if they can have day games on thursday in april they can have them in september. it is bs plain and simple.  Angelos doens't want to move the game because he is more important than the ravens.

not looking great weather wise for opening day at camden yards

the Orioles are more important than the ravens to me too.  And I'm glad they didn't bully the Orioles.

Besides just only listening to only yourself, you struggle with the concept of Day and Night.

The games on Thursday of this week are day games starting at 3 and 4, not 7 PM.  That's why they can play a day game on Friday.

The games on Wednesday in September are night games starting at 7 PM, thus making a day game on Thursday impossible based on the current Collective Bargaining Agreement MLB has with it's players.

In order to accommodate the Ravens they would have had to reschedule 3 games.

The NFL knows this and gave up, so why don't you, as you clearly have no idea what you're talking about?

A shame it is looking that way.  Opening Day is such a crap-shoot as far as the weather goes.

Nope.  But it is looking good for Sunday.  Hoping it doesn't rain until later on Friday.

Very cool.  As only M was available my daughters will have to fight over it.
